It's definitely too late for these changes now but it looks like a couple of things I noticed from the pre-production show car haven't been addressed: -Is the new thin circle circumscribing the T in the logos canonical? It looks like a knock-off but maybe they've gone in a different direction...

Gotta go down before it goes up, right?

Thanks statler, well handled.

Anyone know the final paint color of the spandrel panels in the oriel windows? Not in love with the rust color.

I understand the impetus to try to spare rural Western motorists, but I still find it irksome. No matter how far-flung some residents are, Boston is the sun which sustains their lifestyles. No one wants to pay for stuff they don't use but they still benefit.

This is...quite broad, and pretty much the main subject of architectural history and theory. I'm reluctant to reduce to a response here what is really and education's worth of an answer, but really (really really really) simplified: the styles we see are a result of the dialogue between broader...

It would be very difficult to be at all interested in this building. The driving principle for the facade seems to be, "mullions are good, so more mullions is better, and many mullions is best."

Podium looking very solid; cladding on the res tower looking like warmed over Pierce leftovers, and not in a good day after Thanksgiving kind of way. I am not holding out hope for the office tower. But hey good news, I was never going to go into those buildings anyway so I'll just enjoy the...

Any chance we'll replace the Arch St. garage with something nicer in the next cycle?

Thinking about how when Hamburg had the opportunity to redevelop many waterfront sites it didn't totally squander the opportunity with the cheap and banal...I'm not asking for an Elbephilharmonie, just a little vision for our harborfront.

Do you know if there are still ATC functions in the old tower? There's still the bridge connecting it to the new tower, but I wonder what the other impact will be.

I like it. It gives me vaguely sinister vibes, but in a nice way.

I'm not a luddite, I just do not accept the premises that (a) the technology will continue to improve [to the point of outmoding human drivers] and (b) that this is a solution especially for cities. Even if I accepted (a), it would be in the exact opposite of the places you propose: put them...

lol at the idea that fully autonomous cars are anywhere close, or a reasonable solution for cities. I'm all for transportation improvements if they're mass transit. I'd put decent money if I had any on the autonomy play being a huge waste of time and never being fully realized. But even if they...

I don't know, but my guess is that it creates a sense of resolution of the elevations. It gives them both a considered and defined top, a way to end the building as the eye moves upward. The first thing that comes to mind is Louis Sullivan's discourse on the composition of skyscrapers--a...

I believe it's just two different colors of brick.

Getting late in the cycle for that, too.

It's kinda like a park now.

It's not 36,000 but I got out of school within the past few years, and there are definitely luxury students to put in these projects. Pick a new residential building around town from the last ten years, and there are 20-year old BU and Northeastern kids with Porsches living in it. I'm excited...

You could ask if that's now how he sounded every day.
