The initial renderings for the proposed buildings to be built on the Providence Academy site do look inappropriate (“2 new buildings planned at the Academy,” Jan. 8, The Columbian). Modern can collude in an aesthetically pleasing manner as many European cities show. I am sure further discussion will produce better potential examples.
With that said, whatever is done, do not allow anyone, any company, any association who was in any way involved in the design and location of the building which housed the El Presidente restaurant to have any input into any matter concerning the site. Their aesthetic choices say all that is necessary to exclude them.
