DAY 12
Deflecting Singapore’s intense heat and sunlight inside the glass dome of Apple Marina Bay Sands required special engineering. Circular baffles with a wedge profile are arranged in horizontal rings inside the dome. The baffles protect against glare and are covered in fabric that bounces light upwards to create diffused light.

Each baffle is filled with foam for acoustic attenuation. Architects Foster + Partners modeled how well the baffles would perform in various conditions first on computers, and then with full-scale mockups. Larger baffles with a similar design and purpose encircle the outer walls of Apple Park.
