    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Each frame of that video still has to individually render, plus the good quality frames with shadows, materials, and color have to render seperatly. A full, good quality render with shadows, raycast light, bumpmapped materials, etc takes 2-4 hours on my rig for a small 1024x800 px image. On a...

    Boston Properties Office Tower | 888 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    Seriously, they put back the same escalator configuration? There should be two up escalators and double the width stairs. I'm always heading towards mass ave.

    Boston Properties Office Tower | 888 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    I'm sure they're waiting until 888 is done, and then will repave the whole plaza. Also, thank god. Cutting through the Sheraton was a pain, especially last night with a conference going on.

    I can't even see an attachment in either email, but I think I have the brochure they sent out with renderings on the back; I'll take a look when I get home. Yayyyyy more pile driving =/ Some pics from this morning: Crane base Garage is moving along quick

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    The stations are not THE problem. But they are A problem. Not only are they a waste of money, they're also a waste of space. The T should be aggressively trying to market space above them for development (like Tufts is doing), instead of building more useless boxes. Similar to how Hynes was...

    Yotel Hotel | SPSQ parcel J | 65 Seaport Blvd | South Boston Waterfront

    I'm really just commenting on the design. The costs would probably be similar to box in the toilet with drywall vs glass and associated hardware.

    Yotel Hotel | SPSQ parcel J | 65 Seaport Blvd | South Boston Waterfront

    I love my wife; but if we were staying here I still don't want to see each other taking dumps through glass, which also doesn't provide much of a sound or smell barrier. There's a reason toilets are usually in a seperate, enclosed space. a piece of sliding glass and a curtain doesn't cut it, IMHO.

    I'm pretty sure they're going to start charging. There's a bunch of new parking sinage and equipment lying around under tarps, and I heard someone talking about it the other day.

    Assembly Square Infill and Small Developments | Somerville

    Partners is getting close to being buttoned up, pile driving on Block 6 continues... Sorry for all the lens flare. No, I'm not trying to evoke JJ Abrams, they just put burlap over my usual picture place in the garage so I only have a window to look through now.

    Somerville Infill and Small Developments

    I think part of the facade actually collapsed into the street, although I could be confusing it with another project. Wasn't the original plan also to keep the first floor retail active throughout construction? I remember the dunkin was open until things went screwy.

    Green Line Reconfiguration

    Keep in mind my routing through the spaghetti was mostly on the surface.

    Looks like before the shenanigans option 1 was poised to win across the board.

    Redesigning Prudential Tower

    Not the tower, but seems like a decent thread. I've been doing a lot of two things lately: 1) Walking from Back Bay to the Boylston St via Copley Place and the Pru. I've come to hate the gerbil tunnel over Huntington because its narrow, hot, and the doors on each end are a pain. 2) Shopping at...
