      why not facebook :(((((

      it is too generalist an application and, in our humble opinion, does too little well. for status updates, twitter is much snappier. for photos, flickr has it beat. book reports? goodreads. company info? linkedin. etc... we tend to prefer applications that do one thing well and invest in that function heavily rather than try to be all things to all people.

      Hi Stefan, just read an interview where you talked about wide input—totally resonated. We're doing "off-line dialogue" events that specifically try to do that in person. We're coming to NYC in April with a theme "Aether." Would you care to be a panelist?

      hello, whoever you might be... thank you for your invitation! can you tell me a bit more about your organization and the event you're planning? email me at stefan(at)theapt.com

      Hey Stefan.....I love the apartment. Is there anyway I can travel back in time and enjoy the version of your site that had the numerous little surveillance style avi/videos of people going in and out and past doorways, etc? Patrick, Sydney, Downunder

      hi patrick, thank you so much for your kind words. i LOVED the version of the site you're talking about but sadly it has now been relegated to the archives and no longer online. that said, you're not the first one to have brought that site up to me and i might just be persuaded to put it back up as a curiosity one of these days...

      Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a gymnasium that was built in 1929. I was thinking about turning it into a luxury home and I came across the YMCA that you did would love to know what the cost of the remodel was.

      hi thomas, we spent around $400/sf to take the place from "before" to "after."

      Hello the Apartment, my name is Boris, I recently graduated the Shillington graphic design school of New York and wondering if you have any graphic design internships in your studio? Thank you very much!

      hi boris, because of our structure as an open source creative agency, we do not offer internship positions any more. rather, we pick from the chosen few around the world, much as yourself, to work on specific projects that we deem would be perfect collaborations. this way, the work always comes from different perspectives and remains fresh, a big reason why we do what we do.

      do keep in touch with work and good luck!
