Its worse than ugly. That would be a bold statement. This is a collage of blah tropes. Way more infuriating. cca

Cleaned up might be strong right? Capping does not clean up, there is a whole ecosystem sub-grade that will continue to do its thing while we watch washed up rock stars and shove coins into machines (or cards rather). cca

Nope ... you would have done your research and understood the premium you get with hiring a Name. Now ... BCDC will have not reason to not want to change things .. .and the neighborhood with pull their typical shenanigans so i doubt that we get what is being rendered here. Truthfully I would...

Mrs. Gang is going to give you something with a "twist" always ..that is her brochure appeal. She is getting tons of work riding the wave of Aqua Tower in Chicago and her High Line work in NYC. The developer is playing a name recognition game with asking for this designer to do her thing...

Poked me right in the eyes. Ouch. cca

Art allows your current state of mind to attach meaning to the work. I am pretty liberal, care about abortion rights ... but never saw this as the motivation. Since I am a father and middle age I think of choice very differently so .. I think its tough to associate a word with a stance. What...

I was not criticizing this building at all just explaining that when you hire "idea based" designers ... you will get strong reactions. I am sure they expected that and have bought in to it. cca

I believe this is TAT. I believe Parcel K is Arrowstreet. Should not surprise you that they are similar. They have similar criteria. cca

He is a smart guy, but he is also more interested in ideas than anything else. These kinds of "experiments" are inevitable with artists (not designer) like Mr. Terani. cca

Yeeahhh, well if they google translated conveyor belt they would have found that in french that would be called a tapis roulant. Guess they could have called it TAPIS and that would have made as much sense as CIENTURE which just means belt like the one you hold your pants up with. cca

Digging it ... from the beginning till now. Nice stuff. cca

Nickle Sulfide Inclusion. Affects 1:1000 lights. Just saying.

Architecture is not allow to be not beautiful. I learned that here at AB. I think there is legislation coming to that effect. cca

Copper colored metalic paint with a resin coating. Same finish that your car gets just coppery. cca

I would say that something just aint quite right here. cca

If the BPDA saw the mock-up and signed off, and then reviewed it and signed-off ..the answer is never. If there is some question of quality or execution there will likely be some immediate remediation since the crews are out there already. It is possible that when the sun is at an extreme...

Lets not call it that ... unfortunately we should just call it normal. Its what the market will bear. Build cheap and thoughtlessly because ... you can. The markets says its ok, and the numbers work out. So ...here we are. cca

Re: Innovation Dist. / South Boston Seaport They needed the name to attract certain tenants away from Kendall Square and other tech/bio markets. They dont need it any more and likely no one will call it that soon. cca

It is a plank style panel ... but it IS oil-canning which can happen as described above or ... because the gauge of the metal is too thin ... thus not rigid enough for the forces that push and pull on it. (wind). cca

BCDC/BPDA requires an on-site mock-up. It is intended to be a quality control tool. If the mock-up and the finished product do not match (in material or in exicution quality) the BCDC/BPDA can require remediation. So ... there is accountability. Sorta. cca
