On Monday the company presented its latest drawings (at lower right in the image above) to Georgetown’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) and word on the street has it that the ANC approved them. Assuming no further interference, Georgetown’s Apple store could open late 2009. [...] [...] Now, after two years of dickering, Apple may have finally won the preservationist’s approval.

What a retarded vision. Georgetown wasn't made by fake architecture: it was made by real one. What are does boards thinking of? Making a theme park? I even think that the exception the first proposal was in the urban tissue highlighted even more the historical surroundings, instead of diluting those surroundings with lame pastiches and fakes... Its sad. Fake architecture wins again… What a retarded vision.

It's what the architects originally submitted back in 2007. I included it to show that they knew all along what style it would take to get approved. They wasted a lot of time proposing way-too-modern alternatives before they finally came back to the first general idea they put forward. Also, I wouldn't say "Apple has finally obtained approval". There are a lot of hurdles left to jump. But getting the ANC (and probably the Old Georgetown Board) to not object is finally a move in the right direction. That last blueprint isn’t for this design.
