New 2 World Trade renderings just dropped. https://newyorkyimby.com/2022/02/new-renderings-reveal-updated-design-for-norman-fosters-two-world-trade-center-in-financial-district.html Few highlights:

Wow. I haven't stopped in this page for a while. The texture of this building is sublime. We don't see heavily textured buildings going up in Boston much. It exciting to see a building playing with this design element in such a strong way. How the building is using the classical texture of...

I don't know this as a fact, but it sure looks alot like it was made by the artist 1010. They do these kind of layered murals. https://instagram.com/1010zzz?utm_medium=copy_link

this is huge news. The governor is throwing's her weight behind what used to be called the Triborough, now called the Interborough express because its only the parts in Brooklyn and Queens...

I know words like "iconic" are thrown around way too much, but this building seems like it really will become an icon. It is in isolation so can be seen from far away and is strange and novel but can be drawn simply if trying to describe what it looks like. We are going to be talking about this...

I'm actually pretty happy we haven't built a new tallest in a while, because a tall building isn't just a building, it is a monument. Throughout history every time a society builds a tallest building it is a representation of what that culture deems as the most important, and most powerful...

And the City Council just approved the rezoning needed to build this. https://patch.com/new-york/midtown-nyc/skyscraper-towering-over-grand-central-approved-city-council

I find this building, particularly the new ground floor, very exciting. Those passageways look great.

There is no "stacks of books" style sweeping Boston. All you are seeing is the current desires of highrise office tenants. This is what they want their office space to look like. In the 80s everyone wanted a corner office which lead to office buildings being built with lots of corners to create...

was back up in Downtown Laconia for a few days and, this is so weird to say, it is actually turning into something really cool. there are some great restaurants, an amazing coffee place, a craft beer bar with a vinyl record shop attached, and some nicely recently renovated buildings with...

"Have you tried turning your model upside down?" https://newyorkyimby.com/2021/10/1500-foot-tall-tower-by-david-adjaye-revealed-as-part-of-rfp-submission-for-418-11th-avenue-in-hudson-yards.html

I mean that garage does have a very specific facade. It's possible it was made from some notable tile or a notable designer created it or something. But I'd put money on landmarks commission being fine with it coming down if nothing comes to pass.

I actually fund the coloring of this building incredibly exciting. Overlaping gradients from mauve to cerulean is not your standard lab building coloring. On a clear day the building will match the color of the sky at dusk (mauve) and at noon (cerulean) and all the daylight hours in between...

Further sagas in sitting at Moynihan Train Hall: Today the ticketed waiting area was full, yet again, so I went to where I always go to sit on the floor, against a platform escalator railing, to wait until my train. A security guard walked up to me and said "you can't sit on the floor. You have...

Apparently they put the final pieces of the crane together on move in day for Berklee/ the Boston Conservatory. They blocked off most of Boylston near the crane and apparently it made for a disaster of a move in. I'm seeing tons of posts on social media about it. 🤷‍♂️

I'd say downtown was already in a mini renaissance before the Colonial re-opened. Most store fronts are full now and a few destination stores have opened. Burrito me, Wayfair Coffee Rosters, even the Laconia Antique center have become large tourist and local draws. There is WAY to much parking...

They just moved one of the Worcester dining cars to the stadium. It is really interesting how much of the stadium design and work isn't actually about the stadium. It is about creating almost a "greatest hits of Worcester" area to build a tourism district in some sort of way...

Woah. Another turnpike parcel is really happening. I never believe it till I see work starting. Bonkers.
