    New Cape Cod Bridges

    I have to assume that that was just a strawman. The canal is part of the intracoastal waterway, and was built / designated to provide protection from submarine attacks on merchant shipping. Also the nantucket shoals are no joke and the canal is a lot safer way up the east coast than dealing...

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    Give Boston more credit than that. A lot of the financial district is built on the burn scar of the Boston Fire. The Back Bay business district is built on an old rail yard; so is the Seaport District. Kendall was a swamp and then an industrial wasteland. We all know that other parts of the...

    Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport

    Yeah there's going to be some real interesting framing starting here real soon - because of the span over the roadways below, and because iirc there is going to be a very large ballroom volume with a huge multi-floor truss bridge over it...

    How did they get that up there? Temporary derricks? Or a REALLY big mobile crane? Or a chopper?

    Fantasy T maps

    Yeah Rt2 from 128 to alewife is always going to be way too big because it was built at 8 lines with the expectation that it would tie into the inner belt etc. So two of those four lanes could easily be repurposed as bus lanes. Throw a couple park and rides in between there and 128 and you have...

    Seems to me that it can especially be fixed with some high quality glass, greenery, and a thoughtful lighting program.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I had to read this three times before I realized that the 'you' equilibria is referring to is the 'anyone' in CMTAs question, and not CMTA himself. i.e. Equilibria is saying the answer to the question 'why would anyone do this?' is, "because that person is a nihilist and doesn't see value etc..."

    The Boulevard (née The Times/Littlest Bar) | 110 Broad St | Downtown

    It's too bad the narrow wall of windows isn't reflected. Mirrored windows would really frame the reflection of IP really nicely

    Marriott Moxy Hotel | 240 Tremont Street (Parcel P-7A) | Theater District

    Yeah - it reads as a skinny rectangular building composed of two extra-skinny rectangular volumes, which is cool.
