Boston Store a City Turning Point

A long article in the Boston Globe Magazine introduces readers to the future Apple store on Boylston Street as an attraction for Mac enthusiastics, and continues, “But it will be much more than that. The building makes a statement about the city. Boston isn’t yet fully embracing contemporary architecture, but the store’s arrival shows the city is willing to experiment with it.” Arts journalist Rachel Strutt says in the article, “It’s one thing to put a gorgeously innovative building such as the Institute of Contemporary Art down on the waterfront, where there’s a clean slate; it’s far riskier to put an unapologetically modern building in the historic Back Bay, not far from the neighborhood’s Victorian town houses and Gothic Revival columns.” Read the story here.
