Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2
Well stated, and a great question. w/ LEED v2 or even with older building being modernized and re-cladded, it would seem, the taller they are, the greener they are....

After having a long hiatus from the board, I'm quite impressed with the flurry of activity and building in Boston.
I have a question about these proposals for the board. I notice that a number of the designs include greenery, whether on terraces or in other design elements such as winter gardens, etc. There was an interesting article in the FT a few weeks ago making the case that such elements are merely window dressing for uninspired architectural design, and that perhaps it's just a trend where cities are trying to improve their overall "green" image. If you notice, it's popping up everywhere: London, Paris, and of course Singapour.
Is there a "greenwashing" happening with some of these proposals as well?....
