In person I couldn't get over the clarity and logic of this tower at ground level. Can't wait to see the SS lobby when the whole thing is complete!

Saw what's finished so far on my recent Boston visit. Amazing and captivating come to mind, even unfinished!

Perfect setting for this building...emerging from the forest and waters to stand proud!

Just came back from a Boston visit. I have to say that this tower looks good only from a distance. The street level is flat, dull, and not the monumental entrance promised even by the latest graphic iterations. Basically it's a hole in the glass framed by a weird column decorated by shards of...

Cost per ticket?

Someone made a big mistake: they built it to last centuries, unlike so many other garages in Boston that practically came down with a gust of wind.

Maybe waiting for the true end of winter. I can see a combo of sod and small perennials. Think the Greenway.

For decades it was the Bond Shoe Store, a familiar sight near Jordan Marsh.

True. It was the only place you could walk and see, sitting at an outdoor cafe, a professorial character with beard, beret, tweed jacket with elbow patches, smoking a pipe and sipping his coffee while reading a student's essay. (Actual eye-witness from the early 70's). Delightful stereotypes...

Let's say someone bought the site and built a tower or two for housing. Who do you think is going to afford this housing? I'd rather see a Dicks there than another block of unaffordable apartments or condos. Given the proximity to the entire Pru complex, which to my knowledge is solely luxury...

Yes!

As it stands now, it looks like a cut-rate motel on Daytona Beach. The side facade is all wrong for this spot in terms of hue, pattern, and material. The front facade is tolerable, but needs a crown/cornice that wraps around to the side. And the dumb and over-used alternating windows can also go

I don't think you failed at all! I was 35 when it was finished. I remember how the pieces hung together as a pleasant whole. I loved using the place. But over time wear and tear gradually took its toll (as I've seen at nearly every T station that has not been properly maintained or so...

Buy something to go before you get to the airport and eat it at your gate. There are nice tables and chairs at Term. C, for example. I've found all the Logan restaurants super crowded and crazy expensive for what you get. Just plan to buy drinks (liquids) after you pass through security...or...

I wonder if the mesh came first, the lawyers/safety officers came second, and the glass came last, as they pondered the effects of non-promotions, flunking, emotional disorders, and depression might have on the general population.

Appropriate for a university to build this ground-breaking structure. Much to learn going forward that will help other builders to move in the same direction. In fact, it would be a great advantage to BU to hold yearly (or less often) seminars/conferences for builders, city planners, and...

True or rumor? Kappy's Liquor and other buildings on the corner lot will be razed for an 8 story apt. building in Wellington Cir.

My concern exactly. I have to say that I'm worried about that tube slide re: liability, accidents, someone getting stuck. Nearly every fountain in the city has been defunct for long periods of time, some never returning online or not working properly (such as those on the Greenway in the North...

What is this, an MIT dorm? Put it back in Cambridge please and build a something we can be proud of in Boston.

Too bad so many have nothing but a view of the Whole Foods roof.
