Architects Hate on Apple

The Globe reports on a meeting of the Back Bay Architectural Commission where obstructionist contrarians seek to stand in the way of an incredible Apple Store across from the Pru. What a bunch of dickfors.

One possible solution, several commissioners suggested, might be an Apple design that preserves or replicates the existing building's facade.

''I am aware of no instances in which demolition was proposed but denied," Young said in an e-mail. ''It is a course very rarely pursued."

Apple's team noted that the building occupied by Copy Cop was built in 1906 and renovated many times. According to Apple, the building has little architectural significance.

Maura Welch agrees with me, and apparantly Adam does too.
