  Starbucks is the Elvis of coffee: a remarkable original with a dedicated following eventually bloated by success and sycophancy.

  Oh god. Could you imagine walking into those space port looking coffee shops. No thanks.

  Didn't Elvis steal rock'n roll. Not so original in my book.

  when i drink coffee i'd like to be surrounded by nice old wooden tables and comfy chairs, that sort of atmosphere. don't think i'd ever enjoy a coffeebreak in some sort of spaceship.

  • agreed.– epigraph1/4

    hahaha, true!– kern2burn2/4

    unless you were in fact waiting to get on a spaceship. a spaceport would be the best place then.– airey3/4

    very much agree! the problem with starbucks stores now is the environment is too cold and corporate feeling.– urban104/4

  - Didn't Elvis steal rock'n roll. Not so original in my book

  Starbucks copied, and eventually devoured, the Seattle Coffee Company chain

  when art directors and project managers stay up for 5 days straight on a diet or ketamine-infused meth, then engage an army of juniors desperate to stand out for the rest, hoping to move up the ladder, results may in fact vary.

  starbucks is fucking retarded now matter which way you hang that picture. who really needs coffee that much. get a coffee press, and save your self some money.

  i love how everyone here persecutes people that will be way more recognizable and famous than any of you will ever be during your entire life. sad i know, and a hard pill to swallow.

  i'm assuming your design is not "completely original" and is a hybrid of things you've seen throughout your life.

  to that i give you a big efin *SLAP

  It's amazing to me that people continue to pay attention to architects like this. Who in hell would want to spend any time at all in a horrible place like suggested here? You would need a team of people just keeping all the white surfaces clean 24x7. Ridiculous.

  • And these guys need to stick to architecture, 'cause that logo is horrid as well.– Justin
