  1. What a work is Citizen Jobs! He is an exemplar of an almost Manichean dualism – on one hand demonstrating a most creative talent, on the other an ugly and arrogant I-am-god indifference to the well-being of society. What an ass! And to think I am devoted to the Apple computer!

  2. I live in SoCal which is known for demolishing its archetectural history and I’m always pleased when some treasure or other slips through the cracks and makes it to the present.

  3. But the building is hideous.

    The problem here is that not all art is good. Just because something is old doesn’t necessarily make it worth keeping. It also has to be a classic.

    This thing just wasn’t

    Just as famous actors and directors who make fantastic fantastic and important films occasionally also make completely unstomachable dreck, the same is true of architects.That’s the way commercial art is. Sometimes you get to do something fantastic, sometimes the client is a moron and you just take the money.

    Steve Jobs didn’t even file the final action to have the house pulled down, His NEIGHBORS did!

    1. You’re architecturally challenged. The building is considered a gem and recognized as such by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the country’s foremost historic preservation organization. I presume you have some sort of credential as an architecture critic? Some knowledge of architecture to make such judgments? I didn’t think so.

      The truth about Jackling House is that Steve Jobs DELIBERATELY turned it into a shabby run down relic by not maintaining it. That’s why he’s a cultural barbarian.

      As for the demolition, again you don’t know what you’re talking about. The owner of the building file a demolition permit, which is what happened. HE announced that he was going to tear down the house, not his neighbors.

      sometimes the client is a moron

      As for your architectural criticism, sometimes the “critic” is a moron too…
