The Irish Star is not properly configured for human beings to read on a computer or phone...It's just a riot of advertising and misleading "links".

It's designed as if something nefarious is going on inside. Experimenting with body parts? Trying to clone brains? I can't imagine a less "human" ground floor.

I agree with Andrew. The offset cube gimmick ought to be used rarely. BU has already set the standard and beat every other developer to the punch. There's no need, at the edge of the South End and Copley Square, for bombastic design. Hopefully someone in charge will see the light of day and...

Does it HAVE to be white? It ends up looking like a giant beached whale that has had its bones picked clean.

It's turning out beautifully. I think it's a great success given what was there before.

Of course not. Did you notice how much digging out and replacement of the decorative paving took place? Expensive labor and materials to replace broken shale. Paving stones made of sandstone or granite would suffice....and thick enough so that they won't crack, such as with the sidewalk in...

I was told 25 or more years ago that those empty store fronts were owned by Drucker, who uses them as a tax write off. Anyone else hear this explanation? And yes, they've been empty since the fire in the LGBT center building years ago.

If Apple is going to install them, who cares about them? There are already many locations around Boston with bollards. Even the new section of the BPL has those silly stone "tables" outside on Boylston, that I am told were to serve the same purpose. If it makes Apple feel better, let them do...

Wow, great views, inside and out!

Never asphalt!! How about granite, limestone, travertine?

I will be happy if they just don't include hardscape that is susceptible to the freeze/thaw cycle: brownstone, slate, loose bricks, high-maintenance decorative paving, or anything else that will require a lot of time and effort to keep it looking clean and tidy. I do fear for the trees...

As I reluctantly expected. Boston builds with expensive architectural designs. Boston fears lawsuits. Boston sucks the joy out of expensive projects with metal barriers or just neglect. I wish I weren't so cynical after seeing so much money wasted in the past 6 decades, and so many hopes dashed.

These renders have me applauding, as long as they don't get cheapened by second rate skins along the way. I hope there will be a more graceful juxtaposition of the housing with this district. The housing still appears isolated as Columbia Point has been.

Great progress....and a chance to fix all the streets in this district (?).

In person I couldn't get over the clarity and logic of this tower at ground level. Can't wait to see the SS lobby when the whole thing is complete!

Saw what's finished so far on my recent Boston visit. Amazing and captivating come to mind, even unfinished!

Perfect setting for this building...emerging from the forest and waters to stand proud!

Just came back from a Boston visit. I have to say that this tower looks good only from a distance. The street level is flat, dull, and not the monumental entrance promised even by the latest graphic iterations. Basically it's a hole in the glass framed by a weird column decorated by shards of...

Cost per ticket?

Someone made a big mistake: they built it to last centuries, unlike so many other garages in Boston that practically came down with a gust of wind.
