The decorum on this board seems to be moving down hill fast. Just over the past year or so I have seen threads having to be locked because of ridiculous arguments, people making outrageous claims about the negative effects of single buildings on the whole city, and now even personal attacks on...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Are you shitting me? If you have read just about any fucking thing I have posted here or looked at my post history it is incredibly obvious I am a theatrical scenic designer living in Brooklyn and often working in Boston. Hell I was just recently...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District The windows are not checkered, they are pleated glass. What looks like a checkered patterns is actually just how the rendering shows the different reflections on the different angles of glass. look at this highres image of the render to see it...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Incorrect. Out of the 8 enumerated goals of the development in the RFP, "highquality architecture" is stated only in one of the secondary goals and is one of about 8 things listed in said goal. The city's premise for development of this parcel is...

Re: 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District Y'all are Chicken Little's. The sky is not falling. I suggest an addition to the drinking game: Everytime someone complains a building with destroy the skyline take a drink. but honestly, the materials for this look great, and the massing, for...

^ all materials expand and contract because of the temperature. Wear from this happens, no matter how "quality" the rails are. It is just physics.

Well she's dead so she's not designing any new buildings...

There are literately no other building around this. The views may be a bit off in the renders, but I don't doubt them, particularly the one facing the airport.

Thank you as always for these photos! I am still impressed by the station design. Simple, effective, and well conceived.

the new road layout with this proposal makes no sense at all.

here is a rendering of the new theater lobby that i don't think we have seen yet. from: http://www.wbur.org/artery/2017/12/15/huntington-theatre-approved

This is one of the more stunning pictures I have seen on this site. Beautiful work.

^You don't need an ugly building to activate a space. This windswept plaza vs. interior space activation is a false dichotomy. By enclsoing this space in such a strange and nonsensical way we are giving up a usable public space for a space that the owners of the building can and will close off...

This weekend they separated the water main so the Theater has its own connection now.

^ A) Just because you do not use a space does not make it desolate. This plaza was used at lunch times and before and after work hours. You could get the same activation this structure will bring by adding a few chairs, some tables, and a coffee cart to the space. B) I have no issue with the...

Well I may not have been elegant in my previous disapproval of this building, I consistently have expressed my disdain of it. Roll back though this thread and you will see. What did I say that was untrue? It does not relate at all to its surroundings nor does it adequately contrast them. It's...

im loading in a show here again this week. the old shops are completely empty and vacated. The elephant door into the theater is locked and sealed. There are a new series of concrete ramps and steps to the theater lobby from the street that act as a poor loading dock/ada entrance. The load in...

This is a hideous blob with no relationship to any of its surroundings. It resembles an undergraduate thesis project. Full of fad, short on substance. I bet is is going to have color change LED lighting....

Yaaaaaaaaaas operable windows Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
