The rats, the obstructed view seats.... We never had it so good!

I had my wedding reception there.

You mean Liverpool?

The new museum will be a vast upgrade for that somewhat tired stretch of Tremont. No one mistook the older building for HH Richardson.

And who can forget the Combat Zone?

Along the same lines, I wonder why BC hasn't demoed Alumni Stadium and begun playing football at Harvard.

The courthouse/post office building is amazingly prominent in that context.

The video includes 'conceptual' renderings which have been on hard drives for years, probably, so I wouldn't take them too seriously. That said- there's an informal template involved with the recent MLS stadiums, several of which look pretty handsome, e.g. Nashville and Cincinnati. As for FSG-...

"Only revenue is from selling seats"? NWSL has a lucrative media rights deal with ABC/ESPN.

Lovely, but I'm not sure about the faux Eames chairs (Feames chairs?).

"That structural hierarchy of its mass-timber skeleton is gifted to the viewer as a visual cipher to the building’s predominant architectural language, even if the true breadth of nuance is not yet fully evident"..... If you can't say something nice, well, make it inscrutable.

Brutal, as one would expect.

I spent a few years in proximity to Rudolph's great Art and Architecture Building in New Haven. His best work is priceless, and 133 Federal St. is right up there.

Interior floor plates are small, so this could make for a good OTR play.

It's great to have an example of his work locally, though this is comparatively run-of-the-mill by Gehry's standards.
