    South End Infill and Small Developments

    They should have put the Apple logo on the glass box. Then everybody would be cooing over it. justin

    MBTA Construction Projects

    My battery died before I could take many pictures, but here's what I got: Ashmont: (temporary headhouse) Shawmut: The brick wings on either side are new and contain the elevators. I think they were originally meant to be stone. The multi-paned doors are good, they make the whole...

    Do we want board moderators?

    The best thing would be if each one of us would start by moderating himself and keeping the discussion focused on the development rather than the politics or sartorial tastes of this or that board member. If you have to get personal, use private messaging. justin

    Red Line Construction

    As promised: Comparison with the original: Notice that the same kind of tile (if that's what it is) is used for the sound barrier and the station piers: The metal panels covering the entrance awning are really ugly, and they're used all over the station. The diagonal pole is all...

    Red Line Construction

    The panels are copper-green on the outside and they're noise barriers, so yes, they're there to stay. The glass headhouse is a hack job, but the access to the station is very easy and they did a fine job renovating the old platform, which now has casement windows and mottled red tile. I'll...

    Photo of the Day, Boston Style - Part Deux

    The fact that I had to stop for a moment and figure out whether that photo is in color or not is a very cool touch. As is the composition. Kudos. As for the Intercontinental, I'll eat my hat and say I feel the same way as Merper. There are angles of it and details which are cool, and I...

    Providence developments

    I'd say it's more appropriate to put it under 'Architecture and Urban Planning'; official designation or not, it definitely is too far, physically and psychologically, from Boston to be included here. justin

    South End Infill and Small Developments

    I posted that exact same view on the old forum three years back! It's a great examples how two architects, working at about the same time and I'd assume independently, produced a nice little formal vista. One of the building is country fair PoMo, the other quite subtle, but they make for the...

    Urban Ring

    The 'abandoned Red Line tunnel' is pretty much a phantom crossing the air of the present Harvard station lobby. Even if there are a few yards of it left by KSG, you'd be hard-pressed to extend it under Harvard property. If this tunnel is ever built (not in my liftetime), it will probably...
