behold "The Dick Holder" I cannot understand the fact that the sculpture was created on computer 3D models & small scale sculpture models PRIOR to its approval & construction, so the artist & everyone involved in its creation could have noticed, realized & countered the "controversial angle/view...

This project's concept is very likely to be incorporated at Wollaston's T station in 10+ years time when the next construction boom happens...

I was a bit concern about the overall result of this building, but I'm very pleased the way it was built- specially the facade with the balconies & solid wall that distinguishes it from all the glass boxes around the bay.

So I bet you don't use the commuter rail at all, do you?

Re: South Station Tower Agreed. And I can't even think of the nightmare for the commuter rail users while that monstrosity gets erected ......

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I like it :)

sorry but all the proposals are "horrible" to be honest & polite. Make the competition International

I'm aware of that too - I never stated the need for the Mass Ave portion to be as high as the towers, but to simply gain few stories in order to have proper facade - that's all ;)

Because I'm well aware of that, I question the design for having that lower portion of the building parallel to Mass av for that green roof solution, as opposed to gaining more stories on that side while providing a higher facade with much more character -and if the project has constrains on Sq...

I somewhat like the proposal, even if its architecture isn't that great at all, but the idea of filling up that "no man's land" with a new structure that can bring continuity to the mass av building blocks with new commerce for pedestrians while giving a new dynamic to the area, seems the right...

sorry, but the BU DSC proposal appears to me somewhat like a rip-off of SANAA's Museum of Contemporary arts in NYC but in brick....

Re: Government Center Redesign Really? I mean.......... REALLY? is that all they got?

Re: Official City Hall Plaza Proposals Indeed. I've always stated in order to fix City Hall Plaza there are only 2 options: Get rid of City Hall & integrate the plaza with Quincy Market with an ambitious Urban Landscape design OR Get Rid of City Hall & The Plaza all together and redevelop...

Re: Official City Hall Plaza Proposals Reminds me of what a dear Professor of mine used to say on urban design: "When all options seemed to have run out, just plant trees" really pathetic!!

If there are thousand structures like the building in question worthy of being PRESERVED then those very Thousand never ever should be considered for demolition in the first place. See-once a city allows to systematically rid its Architectural Historic fabric and identity in the name of...

Thank you!!

Repairing the most horrendous elements of the building ........... oh, the Irony...

Re: 10 Fan Pier Blvd | Fan Pier Parcel E | Seaport I can't help but noticing how the ICA building is getting the worst deal of the massive development going around it by becoming literally isolated & diminished by its neighboring buildings...... such a pity....

Re: South Station Tower The initial project was designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, but fell apart after the 2008 economy collapse and the following recession. Instead, Piano's office got busy doing other smaller commissions around Boston, like the Isabella Steward's garden museum &...

Apparently the elevations have been subject to revisions, but it appears those are for some of the materials (siding) I quite agree the tower could have been a great opportunity to create an structure that could have set a precedent in Quincy, but it seems is just the will of the Mayor & the...
