I would hope at the very least briv has given someone his contact info after this incident

I wonder if it's supposed to look like a satin ribbon wrapped around the building? Which is sort of neat but god the up-close shots make it look cheap.

That name is REALLY bothering me for some reason.

To the full blown architects in here, a question: is it possible that 3d printing could make elaborate and beautiful facades an affordable option in the near future? I've had this thought a few times and have been curious about whether it will bring back attractive buildings with intricate details.

That pallet being lifted looks like it's about to break... I'm guessing it didn't or we'd probably have pictures of that...

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) At least we are clearly in the "major global city" development tier. Even if we are super stumpy. You can't go tall here anyways.

Mind you, the example room is citizen m since we don't yet know what brand this will take on, if any.

I became incredibly curious about this building, dug around for some history. "Fens Gatehouse Built in 1909 at the connection between the Stony Brook and the Boston Marginal Conduits, this gatehouse is now land-locked by the widening of Esplanade in the 1950's."...

Gonna guess it's not going to be too different of a layout from the citizen m going in at North Station. (Do we know what the branding might be?)

Does this mean we are letting in New members?

Huh, can't say I've ever noticed any terracotta roofs in the area before, as seen in the foreground of this pic.

Scandals that go in this thread: playing fart recordings at passing strangers Scandals that don't go in this thread: right wing smear campaigns aimed at a literally dying conservative who has dared stand up to the supreme leader Trump. No stupid propaganda ffs.

Re: Residences at 399 Congress St (formerly Madison Seaport Hotel) To anyone in here who gets the opportunity of making these kinds of decisions: please choose more of the classy textured stuff on the left. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is fond of materials like this.

https://resources.troweltradessupply.com/what-is-waterstruck-brick The distinctive brick of New England is expensive, and I don't think there's too many producers of this type of brick left. I personally wish we could see more of it in new buildings.

Well fortunately for you I can imagine the sediment there is too toxic for anything to grow in, and dredging might actually improve everything downstream of this.

I don't think driving in Boston is something people do for fun. I don't see much point in buying a sports car here. Lol, I just pictured some masochist buying a supercar because they like sitting in Boston traffic.

Hey hey, it's gonna be alright. I highly doubt it will see the kind of usage shown in the renders. Your reaction is a bit Rifleman with the traffic rant here.

Oh. Gross. It'd be nice if they picked something that would fill in the skyline a bit better for that location. Eastgate is no architectural marvel but it's silhouette has definitely carved out a recognizable part of the skyline.

I just dug through this whole thread, do we know what exactly is supposed to be replacing eastgate?

I'm still really disappointed we aren't getting the beehive here.
