    Ooooo. Citizen M is great. Their lobbies are always open and are great places to work or take meetings when you freelance.

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    So this new design is going to make traffic on the mass pike worse. with the previous design the mass of the structure tiered down and back into the tunnel making it appear more like funnel that you are entering. The supports held the park up which tiered back to the retail windows. This new...

    401 Park Drive (née Landmark Center) | Fenway

    I audibly gasped when I saw these pictures! Those are pretty famous statues by Nicole Eisenman, a prominent contemporary artist who currently has pieces in the Whitney Biennial. I saw some amazing sculptures by her at the 2013 Carnegie International ( http://ci13.cmoa.org/artists/nicole-eisenman...

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    The Bon | 1260 Boylston Street | Fenway

    oh my gahd. I snorted when I read that. But to add to the chorus, the Ramrod and Machine are not what they used to be. It always sucks to loose queer spaces, but all the real leather and rubber men in Boston go to parties like Fascination at Jacques Downstairs, or ship out to the Providence...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    The one concrete thing that did come out of this process was dividing the air rights into parcels. Those numbers are still used today and are what I was interested in.

    Riverside Development | 333 Grove Street | Newton

    Is this boring? Oh God Yes. It is likely the best chance at developing and best uses for the land. I would likely say yes.

    Two of the gems of downtown are gone, one because of the fear of gay people and the other because of the worship of money, but hey, rich people can drink outside now so that's a win... right?

    Quaker Lane + Congress Square | Downtown

    wow. the more details of this I see the more stunning it becomes. that alley is now a show stopper with the play of ornament and structure across multiple buildings and planes. Real nice.

    Marriott Moxy Hotel | 240 Tremont Street (Parcel P-7A) | Theater District

    I'm sitting in the panera bread across the corner from this and they are currently installing that platform style construction scaffolding around the base of the core which has the forms removed. I was planning on giving up on this forum but this is just too much fun to watch. I'm going to...

    Board Decorum

    Jouhou, I do not have any "weirdly intimate knowledge of this project." This board is a place for people who like to and know how to research and have an affinity for the built environment.
