Yeah so reopening immediately is essential. Sorry that I don’t feel the need to lock down everything to futilely prevent the deaths of people at or near the life expectancy. It’s like shutting everything down if there was a surge in cancer deaths one year. Might feel good, but won’t actually...

I think it’s a perfect setting for breakthroughs in science and engineering. The interior will look awesome. The back is great with the park and the other massings. My main problem is that it’s not urban enough but it should still be interesting with public interior access and the park in the...

I’m tired of keeping everything shut down primarily to save the lives of boomers. Either that or we implement a full universal basic income immediately.

I think it’s a mindblowing work of art, and reminds me of just why I passionately love architecture, especially in these times. It has a good mix of forms and will be an undeniable landmark of lower Allston. I think the front is the weakest side but even there it has potential for stunning...

Struts.

Yeah watch out for those Canadians! This will definitely shrink the site massively in the long run. I use the app so usually I don’t notice the changes but the desktop experience has been massively downgraded. And they will not change/fix anything; all of their forums must follow the same...

I am aware.

Ollie is the name of a coliving company, so I doubt it was ever the name for the building.

Wow that curve is a major missed opportunity. I don’t mind the green/black parts though.

Yeah fuck briv.

Seriously awesome. The first non-banal building by BU in a loooong time. And a very central location for this jewel.

Sure, if that's what you want to do. No problem.

I guess you can quit the site. Up to you.

Is anything necessary?

Great pics. So it's going to all be suburban-style "pad" buildings right?

I guess I was talking more about Main Middle, especially the corner of Main and Chandler (which some can consider to be part of downtown). No one's going to harm you if you're just walking by so no need to fear anything, true, but I lived in the area and it is an accurate statement that there...

This area could be a great urban node if they totally replaced all the people lol. Right now it's very sketchy and forlorn with almost no pedestrian traffic except for the occasional druggie and/or prostitute. The buildings are architecturally pretty good but largely underutilized. The Grid...

Why can't we migrate to a community-run forum (as was the plan all along until briv pulled the rug out from under us)?

Wow that looks bleak. Beautiful buildings, but literally nothing beyond that.

If they're like the DC metro you can open and go through the doors between cars but obviously most people don't do that.
