The Coliseum was a complete round shell before it was um... partly destroyed lol

Here's my attempt:

No one is allowed to touch that thing. It's an incredible piece of brutalism, predictably left to rot and completely ruined by the misuse of the front corner.

I actually had direct involvement with this project in an earlier form 2 years ago (colors me biased against this one). Our office even has a barren overly detailed site model of it sitting downstairs still lol But I don't think we have settle for good-enough just because it's in the projects...

This feels very banal and underwhelming for the program. Dull massing, cheap-looking slat fenestration. They put all their rendering 'pizzazz' in that garage door yet it'll probably be open for very very rare (in season) events.

Is the architectural identity of Kendall just going to be annoying, over-engineered cantilevers?

These are a neat modular core formwork that saves a lot of construction time. Instead of building up each wall of formwork piece by piece, those containers are each a full floor that's stacked, rebar run through, then concrete poured down into (between 2 layers of the corrugated metal).

Yes, they're plastic.

But I asked for less information...

The review was borderline incoherent lmao At least he was honest with his position eventually which boils down to "I don't like any change whatsoever"

Anyone else surprised no glazing has gone up yet? Progress seems slow and steady here with the steel, whereas the BU stack is shooting up and already getting enclosed.

This is hilarious and I'm so conflicted here. It's both ridiculously garish with a backlog of symbolism, but also refreshingly bold and somehow a tasteful font? Getting a sign that big on a new building (next to Citgo, let alone anywhere else in the city) sounds like an anomaly. I don't recall...

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect at least a baseline of quality in posts/photos instead of anything where a few pixels of a project show up. But also relax dude, it was half a joke.

This is the latest design: Dark verticals were added since the 9/13 meeting.

Funny enough, it looks like you caught the plant mid-emergency with a ruptured steam valve. https://universalhub.com/2021/steam-pipe-ruptures-kneeland-street-plant-bringing But also, please stop taking photos from your car while driving.

Could you post a photo with any less useful information?

I think it's actually really nice to have that keystone-like site be occupied by a civic, more quiet building, than a typical mixed-use whatever that's all throughout seaport and the harbor walk. The park and harbor walk around it aren't detracted by a bunch of inward-drawing program with the...

Is this suppose to look bad? Love it. Looks like an architect designed it instead of a developer's spreadsheet. I'd welcome a return to some monumental brick and bases that aren't just full glass and metal panel.

Pretty watercolor rendering. The rest of Nelson's project don't give me high confidence though in terms of "design." Nice urban waterfront planning though. Reminds me of the new Wharf complex in DC. This in particular made me laugh:
