This is looking pretty good.

Deer Island Sewage Treatment Plant adjacent to Winthrop.

You would think a coffee place named Third Cliff, would have something to do with Scituate and not JP. LOL

You might be joking......but there is actually a program for that. LOL

Update: The lower left building has become CP's Woodfired Pizza and the upper right is being fitted out to become another Oysterman location. The original is in Duxbury. Both should bring quite a bit of new activity to the area.

It's not specifically about infill development, but this recent drone shot does show that Scituate has a rather dense and walkable downtown, despite the appearance of several large parking lots.

That's wonderful news, but where did you get that information? Is it listed on some MBTA website?

Well, that's not good.

My brother lives in Bartlesville. I've stayed at the Price Tower Boutique hotel. It was VERY cool, and I hope they can save it. I think it worked PERFECTLY as a small hotel, but Bartlesville isn't a huge tourist draw. It's an hour north of Tulsa.

This will be a win in my book if the street is really activated and the retail or restaurants are engaging and full of people. That corner of Boylston was always kind of dead in my opinion.

Melbourne Trams on St. Kilda Road, near our hotel. Service was VERY frequent and quite extensive.

Modern Tram network in Sydney, Australia.

Not a traditional Metro, but high platforms, electric trains, and frequent service to the Melbourne suburbs.

New Barangaroo Subway Station in Sydney. It just opened mid August 2024. Very clean! All trains are automated like the Montreal REM. (I think it's a very similar train design.)

I totally agree with your feelings, but it all comes down to money and politics. I've seen a thousand planning documents with GREAT ideas basically sit on the shelf because there is no money to implement them. Plus, developers have to secure the land in question plus make a least some profit...

There is a whole industry in London for fashion accessories matching the different London Underground fabrics. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2019/mar/12/london-transport-distinctive-fabrics-moquette-history-in-pictures...

Seeing those elevations makes me chuckle. Can anyone point to a previous rendering with trees and dense vegetation on the roof or upper floors that ACTUALLY came to be implemented? There is the rooftop parking garage park at Kendall Square, but I can't think of any other examples. We...

My first architecture job back in 1987, was located in the building highlighted in red: Steffian Bradley Architects That building is nothing special, and I wouldn't mourn the loss, but the nice brick building to the right shouldn't be demolished. I really wish they could at least incorporate...

Even the re-do wasn't that great. In the first iteration, the actual materials looked NOTHING like the renderings, which were OK......if even a bit Disney fake. However, the cheap materials and tacky installation is what really killed it in my opinion. They made it better, but still not great.

This is funny when I searched for a thread about AIA Conventions in Boston, the last post was 2008. It's coming back in 2025! The Seaport will be quite a bit different than in 2008 when I led tours. https://conferenceonarchitecture.com/
