Chicago may have The Bean, but we've got The Ween!

It's wonderful that this part of the turnpike is finally being built on. It's Just unfortunate that the actual design of these buildings is so stupifyingly dull, and clumsy.

Hallelujah! A 20-story building that isn't pathetically pretending that it's a 10-story (or a 6-story!) building.

This is, in my opinion, probably the most extraordinary building in Boston. I would prefer it to be demolished rather than survive in such a defiled state as that.

In my opinion, the designers of this building committed huge blunders by 1.) incorporating so many different exterior finishes onto this facade and 2.) treating the building's exterior as a collection of two-dimensional planes rather than three-dimensional volumes. The whole...

From that angle in the rendering this sculpture looks like nightmare fuel.

The acquiescence of this demolition by Boston's so-called preservationist organizations seriously calls their credibility into question. It really does seem like the true mission of Boston's various "preservationist" groups is to preserve parking spaces, grand window views of the lucky few and...

Welcome to Wallston.

I agree. There are several puzzling design decisions on this one, but overall I think the presence that this building brings to the square, with its more appropriate scale and use of materials, is an improvement over many of the others lining it currently. Hopefully the William Rawn designed...

This building is disorienting. It exudes confusion and discord. It is in total disagreement with itself. How many different scales are represented on its facade?

I dont understand all the praise for this Treehouse. It looks like the Port Authority Bus Terminal. I wish Harvard would lose this corporate campus oriented design mindset. It seems like they're intent on recreating the worst aspects of Kendall Sq in Allston. It's very disappointing.

Boston is being eaten alive by terribly scaled, suburban blah-chitecture just like this. That could be a rendering of Boston Landing, the Seaport, Kendall Sq., the Bayside Expo site, Assembly Row... the list goes on and on and on.

This is hardly better than what's there now. Surely they can do better than this.

This building's massing/aesthetic simply does not work. It's odd in a cheap and uninteresting way. It just looks incompetent, like it was designed by a child.

This double/triple height exterior floor massing has to stop. It is the most insidious design fad that has ever happened to Boston. The city is being grotesquely disfigured.

While coming into the city from the north this building looks incredibly wide. It's like Boston's glassy version of the MetLife Building.

This is going to totally transform the character of this corner of the Public Garden and Boylston St. I can't believe the city is allowing this to happen. It's been 15 years since the last landmark hearing. Maybe it's worth another shot.

Two landscapers frozen in coitus.

I'd prefer to see active retail frontage as opposed to the mini-plaza they've shoehorned onto Brookline Ave.
