Architecture Critic Christopher Hawthorne Takes Issue with Apple's Proposed 'Aloof from the World Around It' New Headquarters

The LA Times‘ resident architecture critic has received a fair share of criticism of his own at the start of this week, chiefly from avid Apple enthusiasts after his writing a somewhat negative piece about the company’s proposed Foster + Partners-designed new headquarters in northern California. Though not a terribly negative review, and certainly not overt, Hawthorne really doesn’t even involve Apple, but instead uses them as a launching point to discussed the many companies who have decided to build a “campus,” a self-inclosed, almost suburban-like entity that eschews any form of connection to its community.
