    New England Conservatory Residence Hall | St. Botolph St. | Back Bay

    I never quite understood presence of benches/landscaping here; clearly some good money was spent on making this island-in-an-intersection a pedestrian respite, but I pass by here all the time and I'll be surprised if I ever see anyone sitting on these benches. Some piece of public art or even an...

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    I was just in Rio's Santos Dumont airport where Uber has a sleek "lounge" concept with very comfy sofas, newspapers, free bottled water, wi-fi, and staff calling drivers for you. Works right alongside the regular taxi service. Haven't seen anything like that in the US. It would revolutionize...

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    I agree with your list if, by "connecting all gate areas in terminals post security" you don't just mean via corridors but something like a "skytrain" that would simultaneously connect terminals while providing some Logan-wide design themes. Although nothing as bad as LGA or JFK, Logan suffers...

    Quincy Market Update/Renovation | Faneuil Hall Marketplace | Downtown

    Don't get me wrong. I think we should all "beauty together."

    Quincy Market Update/Renovation | Faneuil Hall Marketplace | Downtown

    Wow. Sephora's on course to be the CVS of the mid-20teens. Does the world need this much make-up??

    Museum of Fine Arts Developments | Fenway

    Please do share any gossip you hear about this; I live in a building next to the Forsyth and am dying to know what's happening in this potentially exciting area. I think it could really use some upscale dining or retail to counteract the pizza-burrito vibe of the East Fens (I think a 3-season...

    Millennium Tower (Filene's) | 426 Washington Street | Downtown

    It's not all that tall...maybe 8-9 ft. if I recall correctly. The clock and carving are definitely vandalism-height.

    Bay Village Apartment Tower | 212 Stuart St. | Bay Village

    Re: Bay Village Apartment Tower | 212-222 Stuart St. | Bay Village Not bad. Within the space constraints I don't think we could expect anything more distinctive.

    Kennedy School of Government | Harvard Square | Cambridge

    As a new high school in Dallas, this would be great.

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Wasn't this supposed to be a water feature of some sort?

    Boston Properties Office Tower | 888 Boylston Street | Back Bay

    Throughout December it will be lit with different colors every day.

    The New Retail Thread

    Yes, it seems much smaller than the NY and Chicago branches--maybe Terrra is going to add a lot more square footage. Right now, it is ridiculously crowded and impossible to navigate, but once the novelty wears off, I suspect the layout will make more sense.

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    I see your point, but this can lead to hoarding behavior: keeping everything around in case it might be useful/come back into fashion in the future. My closets are full of clothes that bear witness to the pitfalls of that strategy. :D

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    I'm sure that aesthetic will come back into vogue some day--maybe in 2040 folks will look at photos of that and say "geez, that was classic late 20th century" but in 2016 it just looks passé and tacky. Things have to go out of style before they can come back into style.

    Copley Place Expansion and Tower | Back Bay

    Actually, I think they've done a lot of interior renovation already--things seem much brighter, lots of white-on-white. I really hope the waterfall is dismantled--very 80s vibe and not a good 80s vibe.

    Museum of Fine Arts Developments | Fenway

    Any possibility this might be integrated into the old Forsyth Institute building after the expiration of the NEU lease? I thought the initial plan was to make that a center for curation. Edit: there is a loading dock and elevator there too.

    Wow. Loving this.

    New England Conservatory Residence Hall | St. Botolph St. | Back Bay

    One of the nicer urban academic building around. I wish the recent Berklee tower had cladding similar to this.

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    The marbling makes me think of granite.
