I guess I just don't see that tiny stretch of exposure to rain or snow as something that "sucks." If you leave your home and take any type of transportation, you are going to, at some point, come into contact with the weather and if it's raining you'll get a little wet.
I used to be at South...
Oh, I know ^^^.
Gap-worriers aren't countered by those advocating for the gap b/c it'll bring natural light to the station interior. I'm just saying that having the gap remain at least adds *some* natural light and given that we've lost the bulk of said light, maybe we want to hold onto what...
There are some conficting hopes for how this all eventually turns out and I'm not sure some people are fully aware how they're at odds with one another, given that some folks have expressed hope for both. There are those who are super concerned about the above referenced "gap" and then there are...
The nonsense with the Hancock closing and not re-opening their deck is truly terrible, but having gone to Top of the Hub and Skywalk many, many times I can say without reservation that View Boston is a way better experience, so no need to "miss" what used to be atop the Pru. What's there now is...
I am a bigtime fan of the adaptive reuse of buildings, particularly industrial buildings. My question is: Batterysea and the S. Boston plant and others have fairly interesting architectual features, but this thing -- the smokestacks are cool and tall and I think would be cool to preserve those...
Unless I'm missing a link or prompt or something, there are no pictures of the interior, which the headline certainly suggested was the meat of the content (and I was excited about).
I think that (emulating Bow) is precisely what they'd need to do. I also don't think HS supports -- even in that "Bow Market-ish" framework -- that type of small business. The Square is a terminal of an international airport placed outdoors at this point, with better architecture and some cool...
I thought it was just the angle? But now I think you're right. That's the panel of black/grey windows rather than reflective, but it sure does look like they've all been removed (for replacement, presumably, but why and why all of them at once?).
That's the floor with the dampener. Never been...
Having been on aB for a while now, I think your assessment is very correct. For every tall (for Boston) tower that *doesn't* really enhance the street-level experience (1 Dalton, for example, as much as I quite like it), those that -- despite whatever height or design negatives -- really change...
