Odd, for some reason the search didn't work for me.

45 Province. Yes, Condos. There used to be a thread about this, but I guess it didn't make the jump to the new forums.

Well, that's objectively better. But it's still lipstick on a pig.

Well, this is shit.

Not everything has to be housing.

Architect 1: What if we came up with a design which could create a harmony between the MFA and original WIT building? Architect 2: What if we did the complete opposite? Architect 1: Brilliant!

Why are all the ends of the lines cut off?

Holy shit. It's really happening!

HAHAHA wow. No amount of shine can make that look like it ain't gonna be a massive turd.

Just cancel it. Or do what Baker did and send it back to the drawing boards. Too bad all the responsible parties are virtually worthless. I'm willing to be there is already $1-2 billion in sunk costs already, so cutting a couple billion is probably out of the question.

What I appreciate most about this is the quality of the materials. With the unique location and design, this is on the list for best new buildings in Boston.

People really need to stop wanting the old Penn back. It was always a bad use of space, and we will never truly rebuild what was there before.

It hurts my head to think that this station is now 20 years old.

Is this the change you wish to see on the web? I'd actually argue against it. The way this site works, if you are looking for topics on Brutalism then having a couple threads to read through is easier than one long one.

It's brand new and already looks like shit.

I've always like the compromise of having a combined North and Central Station around Haymarket Sq. Except for the Garden, North Station isn't a destination. It was just where trains stopped running. So with appropriate length platforms, you can get people to North Station and get them closer to...
