This photo from another thread just reminded me of this. Great layering and structural authenticity.

Yes I'm aware of the old trees. You can find my own comment in this thread several pages back complaining about them tearing them down during construction. They were wonderful. I don't know what the exact reasoning was for their replacement (need for a level staging area perhaps), but it...

There's at least 6' of height difference between the upper entry and main level. At the steepest allowed 1:12 ramp (which needs continuous handrails on each side) the ramp would be 72' long plus the need for 2 intermediate landings (needed every 30" of level change), so a minimum of 82'. The...

Quincy has enough problems keeping businesses along Hancock st. as is (counted half empty this morning). The area needs more foot traffic. Build more dense residential, not parking.

Probably a roadway to get firetruck access back there.

This building is beautiful and I will fight all dissenters. Ragon is fine. It's a different approach - ubiquitous glass envelope with a subtly varying screen. Vs a residential/hotel program using units in a tower.

Weird to mount the handrails to the floor on posts when they have a wall right there... Those giant featureless walls need art or something.

The mech vents along that face are poorly integrated (unlike Dalton). The wide off-centered one in the middle kills me.

Sorry, can you clarify the constraints here? Are you against paving the trail if it doesn't include removing a road/car lots etc? Why is "improve" in quotation marks? Would this not make the path better for pedestrians and bikes? I'm unfamiliar with these bike paths entirely, but the discussion...

The complaint about shadows.... on a grocery store.... 🤦‍♂️

There are benches with backs in the aforementioned photo by the GSA, next to trees. Agree to disagree.

Or just don't post clearly incorrect/misleading information? I share your distain for much of the plaza - don't need to use inaccurate data to critique it then get snarky about it.

I'm not debating the plaza. I'm calling our your disingenuous shading graphic.

Bunch of trees right next to benches along the GSA per that photo montage earlier - on a rainy day. No I don't have photos. It's barely shade-seeking weather and the trees just finished filling out. And the weather has been generally shit the past few weeks. I'd gladly go read a book over there.

This is missing literally all of the trees they planted. There's 100 new ones in the plaza redo, and all the existing ones near GC T stop and Congress St. They provide nice shade.

The other arches are coming later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM8smvjc7IQ&t=52s

Yeah I see that. But this looks larger? The scale of that in old renderings doesn't match this.

Is that some new wacky iteration of the Dock Square garage project we haven't seen before? (And was it really that hard to building a more accurate city hall with any of the cantilevers...)

It's temporary.

I actually don't mind plastic as it's more easily beat up, won't scratch like painted metal, and sometimes helps the proportions of taller vehicles today - but along those lines, this it my real problem with trucks today: 20 years apart. (Yes these are different segments of trucks entirely, but...
