I love asymmetrical bay windows. This one will look out over The Common and Back Bay's hi-rises. It's a nice touch with a museum to pause from the seriousness of the exhibits.

Yes, though it looks like some will lose the sunset view and keep the city one. I'd bet Redfern was concerned about it. The views from the hill in this area are some of the best in Portland, like the one from Fort Sumner Park.

That's fine but concerts and other events are in their revenue plan. They simply aren't talking about it now. They have to be to justify the spend. How many stadium use-dates ($) is that with soccer (men's) only? And the problem with lower capacities is the supply and demand ticket issue/cost...

Great news though I think an 11,000 capacity should be increased for more revenue. In the summer in Bangor they fill up their riverfront venue with 16,000 for concerts.

Vancouver, B.C. does this. It's a nice city. Lots of residential mid and high rise too.

From yesterday's tall ships event. Top pic from Mastro's and bottom one from Leader Bank Pavilion. Big crowd and many families. No ruffians too (security checks).

Excellent images. I realize the glass is 90% filled here, but at 10-15 stories higher the entire skyline "visual balance" for Boston might have moved a bit more to this direction.

Noted and understand.

Perhaps instead of simply a knee-jerk reaction "Like a toe fungus or It's just another Portland turd", explain why? The key to good or better architecture is not the superficial exterior as much as it is how the form and the interior improves or enhances the user experience. I think when it's...

It's growing on me. 4 images, 1,2,3,4

You did not get my reference point with the McDonald's too. All new McDonald's are the same but different--they look different on the outside but once you go inside it's the same. All new Aloft, Moxy, Tru by Hilton, etc. are the same but different. I've stayed in them all--and multiple times...

They hire one architect for one design. Whether its a Moxy in Peoria or Chattanooga or the one in Portland, Maine, it all has to look the same, like a McDonald's.
