    The Official MBTA System Map

    This is a small tweak, but I'd suggest keeping station names to one line if possible. In particular, Blanford St and Melnea Cass Blvd stick out. Brookline Village also looks cramped. And the space between the names, accessibility symbol, and transit line looks a hair too close. I'd double it.

    Framingham Developments

    It's an edit from the NIMBY admin of that local facebook page.

    Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    A friend of mine lives in 10 Taber next door. It's no Mass and Cass, but it's slightly... bleak. Nubian station is not a pleasant place later in the night. The square overall feels zapped of life and these upcoming developments are desperately needed.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Wild to me that the stone clad entry column is still incomplete from the failed installation over a year ago.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    They've started to clad the platform vaults - only the purely vertical surfaces as of now.

    Copley Square Revamp | Back Bay

    Mid-construction photo before the existing trees grow any leaves, or any of the new ones get planted. The jokes write themselves.

    Tallest building in town, can you name the city?

    #97 is the Central Park Tower in NYC

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

    I wish Elkus would put more effort into their paneling designs. They introduce so many joints and it often results in square/squat proportions. That last photo of the corner shows off how stack-of-cubes it ends up looking. Works against the tall double-story reading of the windows. Their...

    BU Data Sciences Center | 665 Commonwealth Avenue | BU Central

    The BU building is honestly a shoe-in this year. Also the last year WRA's Berklee Tower is eligible.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    I wish Moynihan's food hall was adjacent to the main concourse. It's sort of off in a corner and out of sight. That said, it's always bumping with people and music. The Tavern in the Square bar in SS is almost pleasantly quaint with its shitty webcam feed of the board and being so central.

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    Sort of amazed that massive feature column along Devonshire is still unsheathed.

    Seaport Neighborhood - Infill and Discussion

    I think you overstate how "spectacular" this view is. You get a tiny sliver of nondescript Eastie down the canyon of buildings. The other examples all have a much greater proportion of vista regardless of the foreground stuff. The trees also soften the severe glass edges of the block - and I'd...

    1400 Boylston Street | Star Market & Gulf | Fenway

    CB2 as the corner tenant is a miss imo. A large storefront that sits largely devoid of activity. Would've been cool to have one of the restaurants there. I don't mind the "landscraper." Let Pierce be the gateway/flatiron piece. If a library branch or something similar does end up going inside...

    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    Are they going to integrate ad space onto the Type 10s? I've always disliked the way it was done on the Type 9s, and I don't think I've ever seen them actually use the space.

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    It's really not. I wish you could have a nuanced take instead of constant hyperbole.

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    I don't. Cities are more than just buildings. The new one will host youth summer camp programs too for the community outside of Wentworth. Way better than the huge surface parking lot there currently.

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    So you want the school to disband their field sports programs? Or just put it... somewhere else in their 1/4 mile campus radius...? The existing one is heavily used. Don't see why being Division 3 precludes them from having a facility.

    Franklin Park - White Stadium Renovation

    Wentworth's life science complex is replacing their existing field. Very obvious reason to move it...

    West End/Beacon Hill infill and small developments

    These are oddly disappointing and similar looking proposals. The Ban one looks downright unfinished.

    MIT East Campus - Kendall Square Gateway | Cambridge

    It protects the elevator which is where someone is more likely to wait.
