Oof.

Words like "transformational" are thrown around a ton, but this project is going to change everything around here. Incredable it is getting built and I am interested in what the vibe of the area is going to change to after it is open and settles in. Will it make this windswept corner of the city...

I still hold that this is going to become seflie fuel and so many inappropriate pictures are going to be taken with it.

Maybe you are thinking of Hallgrímskirkja in Iceland? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallgr%C3%ADmskirkja

New official renderings for JPMorgan Chase's headquarters at 270 Park Ave just dropped. The tower itself is interesting in shape and how it expresses it's structure, and I'm into how it is raised off the ground like 175 Park, but that ground floor is a disgustingly empty no-man's land...

I am absolutely loving the pleated façade. The fractured reflections of the sky are so interesting. As the glass gets further up we should see some spectacular sunset images with the pleats catching different colors of sky in vertical stripes all the way up the building.

84 floors. 46 apartments. Has me feeling a certain sort of way.

Two out of four ain't bad.

I think this is the right place for this as connecting Wonderland to the commuter rail would reasonably be a first step to extending the blue line, but please feel free to move if I am mistaken...

But doesn't a state have a right to tax goods and services? Isn't the storage of a vehicle or a train ticket a service? If there is a passenger station in Nashua shouldn't the state be able to add a tax in the same way local airports can add a "fee" to airline tickets? In NY you get hit with...

Forgive me for maybe being a bit naive on how passanger rail networks work, but all this scheming between MassDOT, CSX, Nashua etc. Seems to be a recipe for disaser. If they all really do decide to run trains into NH without the NH state government behind it you would suddenly have a bunch of...

wait. what? the seating goes straight up to the edge of the building? where is the tech booth? where is the acoustical void?

I understand the façade treatments on all but the lowest level of this building. Is that just the same glass in strips with varying bands inset about a foot? are those inset bands at a slight angle or is it two different types of glass with different reflective properties? Wait, is it actually...

There is some real depth to that facade. Should do some wonderfull things with shadows.

The architecture is a bit "Anywhere, America" now but I'm still all on for the density and concept of the development.

Then we should be complaining abut the MBTA's late-in-the-game decision against building over it, not claiming the developers pulled a "bait-and-switch."

According to the current plans, a good quarter or so of the building already is designed to be raised on columns. It doesn't seem like a bait and switch to me, it seems like they were working with a different set of givens for the early design, namely that they could build over the tracks and...

Oh woah. I've been following this tangentially never realized just how much space is taken up by the station. The original design is pretty unworkable if they need to avoid the station.

The Pyramids at Giza would like to have a word with you.
