Ummm... what's going on with top of Winthrop Tower? 👀 Looks a bit illuminated on the crown, east (shadow) side. Is that somehow sunset reflecting through or did I miss the memo?

Lacking... There is a LOT going on which is great, and yet somehow the nightlife scene is still sub-par compared to similar sized cities. Not saying there's nothing to do at all, Boston has come a long way with great food scene, outdoor drinks and dining. That said, certain segments of the...

Mixed thoughts: Clearly going for cohesion with the '50s Finnish modernism on campus, but also, shrug. A bit too on the nose 70 years later. Always happy to see new performance space being invested in, not just always labs and dorms.

Lest we forget this hellscape was landmarked to National Register of Historic Places, in 2008!? I love me some Olmstead, but, landmark, no, not this. Also, no mention of how potential Day Boulevard removal for flood resiliency would factor into this plan idea. But good, have ideas, make...

270 Park Avenue in NYC gives me the same creeps, on a much grander scale.

A lot has gone totally fking bonkers wrong in the world in the last five years, so good for them finally reaching the finish line. We should be lucky we weren't left with some hollowed out rusting mess in the center of downtown.

That 'Design Progression' is a masterclass of Boston design. And not for good reasons.

Better than the Pinnacle Tower in Nashville, which is neither 'Boston scaled' or a Pelli, but clearly a ripoff inspired by. :p

I wonder if he actually had any input on the project? This project has been around for so long, and so many iterations, but he died in 2019. The firm itself has an above average amount of rinse and repeat corporate fare: Salesforce - San Francisco, ICF - Hong Kong, Grand Torre - Santiago, 30...

Slow clap... we have our first shitposter of 2023.

This gives me such Olso/Copenhagen/Hamburg vibes, and I'm here for it.

Freida Garcia Park was the John Hancock/David D'Allesandro c$ckblock of Columbus Center. It will be hard to make that parcel work specifically, given the acrimony over that and inconsistent history of air development rights.

Sorry for the repeated IG findings, but here's a vid from October 2021 with the new letters going up. Signage got a redo presumably (or now confirming) the static lettering replaced with LED. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVVmWZZl6Tq/

The letters also change color too. Not the best image, but the one I could find. Source:

Here's a nice one from last week, just to give an idea of what multi-colors can look like: Source:

It's an edit, see the original post just above it: #2,736

And - lets face it - this is when they'd normally be putting their best foot forward. How many gorgeous renders, even from some of the best in the biz, that have we seen VE'd down to a shadow of their former selves. I'm not sure this is just massing model? If it is, they'd be better served...

Yay, something other than a landscraping lab to look forward to. 🏗

These layers of landscape: New England coast and urban mirage on the horizon, the hundreds of years of history captured in one shot. It makes me homesick, 110%.

Post writers kick back with popcorn, waiting, because they know their required editorial bashing of Boston will lead to an entirely predictable recitation of facts, statistics, and grasped straws, at how NYC just can't compare to the Hub. And we can't stop taking the bait, every time. Off...
