Self explanatory catch-all thread, as I have been seeing more and more of these pictures lately. Historischer Charme trifft Moderne – Panoramablick über den Old Harbor in Boston by Kostenlose Bilder mit KI, on Flickr Boston Marathon: Ein Moment des Triumphs an der Ziellinie by Kostenlose...

With the proliferation of bike shares over the past few years, I wanted to touch on 2 issues in particular that I repeatedly notice, both safety oriented: 1. NOBODY IS WEARING A HELMET!!! This really stands out, as typically over 90% of the people with their own bikes are now using helmets on...

I randomly found this shot in my weekly search and decided it's good enough to start a new thread. Please, post away! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FEWhoq0WYAUj-vc?format=jpg&name=large

"This project is set to deliver roughly 1,370 mixed income, 572 affordable, 200 middle income, and 600 market-rate units - representing about 2.5 times the number of existing units." Honest Question: Who on earth would want to pay market rate to live in a public housing development?

What's your favorite building of the last 20-30 years in Boston or its inner suburbs that is under 100 meters (328')? Pictures are welcome. My personal favorite is Mass Art Treehouse but I'm hoping the red one with the overhangs in Kenmore can steal the crown. In the meantime, this one always...

The new governor is willing to tear it down if necessary. If this happens I personally promise to never return to Rhode Island. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/mckee-doesn-t-rule-out-demolition-of-providence-s-signature-skyscraper/ar-AAMYj3D

As one of Boston's most visible icons since 1964, this uniquely designed tower deserves its own thread, whether you love it or hate it. Personally, I love it. IMG_1921 by David Z, on Flickr IMG_1923 by David Z, on Flickr

Catchall for pictures, favorites, etc. I'm surprised a thread like this didn't exist. My personal favorite is the Old South Church below. Old South Church Boston by Sergio Enciso, on Flickr However, the real reason I created this thread is I didn't know where else to post these pictures...

Seeing as these are the 2 most visually significant towers of our boom to date, and the first towers in 40 years to surpass 200 meters, I think it's time for us to put them up against each other. Please note this is for TOWER vs TOWER, so we are leaving off the ground floor activation. The...

It turns out I'm not just obsessed with buildings, but also with foliage! Here's a smattering of shots from the Northeast last October. I'll stick to only showing New England here but the full album includes the Adirondacks and Lake Placid area in early October, as well as the Catskills in...

Maine is such a beautiful state. Might as well show it off. I'll start. Looking down on Camden from Mt Battie, 10/13/2019. IMG_6798 by David Z, on Flickr

Looks like this was filed on 11/8. 19 stories, 207' not including mech. They're really squeezing this one in there. http://www.bostonplans.org/projects/development-projects/41-lagrange-street Here's the PDF presentation...

When you type Boston (+Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Brookline, Quincy, Chelsea, Newton) into Skyscraperpage's diagrams page and search for buildings under construction, this is literally the entire list of buildings it shows! Capture by David Z, on Flickr This is something that has been...

This post/thread should ultimately be deleted. However, in the meantime, I want to point out that everybody needs to take a look at the Providence Developments thread immediately! (starting at post 353) http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?p=309101#post309101 This should be the...

This thread is dedicated to discussion and pictures of the night lighting going on in Boston. Before I nominate my favorites, I would like to bring up that I have noticed 2 new lit buildings as of this month. The first is One Post Office Square, which has lit its glass top the last couple of...

Hey all, Given the recept spate of approvals, I am curious about archboston'er predictions about these projects going forward. I am going to give some examples of what I mean at the end, and for the sake of impact will only be discussing buildings 400'+. (also since we haven't had one this tall...
