    Absolute insanity here. Thank god they didn't build that.

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    So like... demolish the entire addition that wraps the center structure and probably accounts for the majority of the building's SF? The original was pretty, I just don't see how they would ever go about "restoring" something so heavily added onto. It's pretty nice as is imo

    Suffolk Downs Redevelopment | East Boston/Revere

    I realize they're still super early in construction and the comparison isn't truly fair, but that instagram post comparing the lush, sunlit renderings to the overcast, glorified retention pond is sort of hilarious It's giving 2024 Willy Wonka Experience:

    Maybe AI? Zoom into the cars and some details and it starts to look funky.

    Metropolitan Storage Warehouse Redevelopment/Renovation (MIT) | 134 Mass. Ave | Cambridge

    Absolutely no way this would be housing without chopping it up significantly. Super thick masonry walls with tiny windows.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    I find it sort of funny that they oriented the Lincoln memorial the wrong way in this mock-up, as if it has some perfect axial alignment with this useless new arch (probably just a staffer carelessly putting the model on the paper map). Some joke about the willful ignorance/incompetence of this...

    Harvard Square Infill and Small Developments

    Harvard can do better. Snohetta did a nice job on the Center for Green Buildings just a half mile away a few years ago. https://www.snohetta.com/projects/harvard-housezero

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    So glad this is finally done/wrapping up. Curious to see how the new fare gates impact that arched concourse space. This project had a really complex challenge of stitching between the existing head house, tracks, and bus terminal and it did...okay. I don't particularly like how the 2nd floor...

    Brookline Infill and Small Developments

    Really great presentation by Speck. It's sad to see scheme 1 with just a revamped parking lot get as much support as it did. A 90 minute, dead simple explanation of how good urbanism works and how it can happen on the site - the audience still gave a parking lot 2-3 stars. Meanwhile option 5...

    Vega (MXD Residential ) | 121 Broadway | Kendall Square

    "Vega" is less inspired than just the literal address?
