Here's how far off the rails things have gone in Berkeley, California: next week the Landmarks Preservation Commission will vote to designate this detached garage as a structure of merit, a masterwork of mid-century architecture that "emphasizes horizontality" and "is free of adornment".
I want to be on LPC so bad.
Honestly it might be for the best, if this shows, conclusively and for everyone to see, that landmarks preservation is a malignant disease on the body of the city.
Translated: "two guys put it up in an afternoon"
Actually the fact of how quickly it was built is mentioned in the designation proposal.
>> "emphasizes horizontality" and "is free of adornment"<< Same can be said of bodies in a morgue.
