Certainly love that the development has claimed additional skyline territory and will give us something modern and a little dreamy to look at from the Greenway soon.
Definitely prefer the vanity of looking great with this one. Going to be a visually tantilizing approach traveling The Pike from BU. Open up the budget!
I've noticed the reconfiguring of streets to be an underground hobby of this city. It wouldn't shock me to see eventual reduction to two lanes via extended sidewalk and added bike + parking lanes. Boston did raze city neighborhoods to build a highway, only to later change mind and put the...
It's rather bold to be this lazy with a true once in a lifetime opportunity. A new entrance to Boston's historic and very authetic Italian neighborhood, The North End? Burn this proposal. And then go do some homework and come back with Italian passion. What a joke!
I have to be honest, I love city hall's design. I take photos of it whenever I'm walking by.
It seems to embody what the future was imagined to be at the time of design, a cold totalitarian government. Somewhat prophetic architecture can be? Perhaps it will take more time for respect to grow...
I love the finished product, but imagine a finer finish had the Auerbach Center name been scaled down and affixed top left with a much smaller Celtics logo floating beneath, centered. This is tacky and unnecessary imho. A real ghetto choice lol. Who did this? lol
I have come to see the office tower redesign within the context of a future Boston. One of the greatest experiences about visiting foreign places is the architecture that often comes across as odd to me. Though many do not like this tower and other prominent structures in our beautiful city, I...
Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square
I agree with Odurandina on max height here.
Dense commercial destination/residential areas with transit are central and support larger scale development. Infill is a runoff response from areas like these which produce support...
I hope this project sets in motion a new wave of redevelopment with a similar perspective. They actually feel responsible to represent themselves in greater alignment with Boston's growing global status--amazing to hear in this old town considering the aesthetic and overall modernization focus...
Great news although unfortunate slash to the overall project scale. Odurandina, any info on whether or not there is room/plan for future development on this parcel?
+1
I literally thought to myself this morning as I walked down the street, "they need to put all of these power lines underground like Miami, looks crazy and cheap."
Definitely wouldn't get any money from me to live in there with all of that going on, it's only a matter of time before one...
Re: Dudley Square Residential Tower | Washington St. | Roxbury
IMO, the spirit of what you're hoping seems to be a desire for everyone to enjoy a centralized place of economic and cultural foundation. I grew up in the area and attended the Deaborn Middle School in 97'. Much of which has taken...
