    The Ipswich | 2 Charlesgate West | Fenway

    Seems like they simplified the facade as well - maybe the goofy alternating windows trope does here. Between this project, the one on Kilmarnock, and the one on Beacon that broke ground (but is stalled?) that’s over 1000 new homes in the neighborhood. A good start!

    West End Library | 151 Cambridge Street | West End

    Everyone’s trashing that one because it’s the same lazy approach to facade articulation we’ve seen and trashed 150 times in the last two decades.

    West End Library | 151 Cambridge Street | West End

    Every development above a firehouse is usually several stories above the garage level because the floors above the garage are reserved for the firefighters themselves.

    West End Library | 151 Cambridge Street | West End

    I’m not opposed to the project, I think it’s fine given what they have to work with, it’s just embarrassing to see the same silly design trick used again and again and again.

    Such a large, blank site, right on the green line, and all we get is a cardboard box painted silver.

    West Roxbury Infill and Small Developments

    Look at those construction materials! I think if I got a running start I could run straight through that entire building.

    40 Rugg Road | Allston

    It’s very strange to walk around this area and see how much has been built with a combined architectural merit of nil.

    Congestion pricing. There, there’s your task force. You could roll it out in two months and the hole is plugged forever.

    Harvard Enterprise Research Campus | 100 Western Avenue | Allston

    It’s an excellent building. It’s the best thing that Harvard has built in the last century at least. It’s in complete moonscape but that will change.

    Until the filters need to get replaced in one year and don’t.
