Soulless, glassy AC unit #2, coming online soon...

Did they have to pick... cream for the mullion color? Other than that, this is looking really nice. Better use of materials and proportions than the new Somerville high school.

One Dalton without the budget for curved glass lol

Why isn't Exxon Mobile responsible for cleaning up the mess they made?

Actually yeah I feel that too. Don't get me wrong, I'd love more variety, but somehow the variety has to speak to some degree of quality and natural aggregation over time - some authentic grit. Like just knowing all the shops in hub hall showed up the same way under a parent corp, but the...

Answering for that guy because I feel similar about this one and have been trying to figure out why. It's not terrible, but a number of things are just on the cheap-looking side - particularly compared to TimeOut in Fenway. - For one the shape of the space itself isn't great as just a low-ish...

They're molecular profiles. Apparently it's a running theme throughout the building. Sort of like these:

The issue is that the GL is so physically large with so many stations (many with long names), and need to be labeled horizontally because the diagonal placement was found to be hard to read by users. And in the end, it ranks 3rd in ridership levels and tourists/visitors are unlikely to need to...

Oh I see now. Yeah Inbound/Outbound was pretty clear to me (until around the core...) But regarding the map itself, after watching the video of previous designer talk through the map's history, and considering just how batshit the general rail layout in this city is, I give them credit for...

I mean, I can just as easily scroll through google scholar and find twice as many studies that find the opposite of the ones you've linked. And Shelterforce is just as much a "thinktank" as the ones you disagree with. What are the loopholes and how would you close them? Would you really...

Do you have anything to support your position on rent control? Every report from modern economists I've read is very against the idea - it's been tried and does not/is not working.

It only goes eastbound until north station, and then it does go north west. Is that the section you're talking about? (the new extensions?)

Hot take: The garage was/is far more architecturally interesting than anything going up around here - including One Congress. Terrible urbanism though. For the best that it's going.

It's over in Madison Park Village https://www.google.com/maps/@42.332471,-71.084598,3a,60y,79.04h,95.13t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXwA-0Z-6qacU0NL-rf_dPg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en&authuser=0

I hate it too. But I mean, there were many renderings of this turd as is before it started construction. It went through a complete redesign, but there wasn't some bait-and switch that no one saw. At the time, this forum was surprisingly positive about it...

Two thoughts. This is SO much better than the July submission which was a hodgepodge of random materials and timid "design" moves that looked completely out of place next to both the old Landmark and new labs at the back. The fenestration and materials relate much better, the base is more...

Ok, now that we've fully derailed here, maybe back to the mayoral race... Has anyone heard/seen Wu or AEG's stance on the Harbor Plan? Could that be revived in any way if the mayor supported it?

Good. It is.

Is there a way to mute certain sections of the forums (not just individual threads)? No disrespect meant at all, but I just don't care about developments in Portland Maine. Would be cool to be able to filter that out if possible.

100% are reporting in now. Wu and George are going to the final.
