Not liking this one a whole lot. Looks like a building-sized contraption for slicing and dicing giant vegetables or some such thing.

Couldn't agree more! I would never have imagined back when I was a student during the rise of the Silber bunkers that my alma mater would someday erect a building like this.

You need to understand that contemporary reality is composed of 10% bricks and mortar and 90% media hoopla.

I'm starting to worry that the lab spatial density in Bos/Camb is reaching a saturation point the spacetime continuum can't support and the whole metro area will collapse into a lab hole from which not even a virus can escape.

Looks like the BIG brother of the pavilion that was proposed for the Seaport park. Wonder whatever happened to that. It looked pretty cool and a great place to hang out in good weather...

To me they look like ocean waves, which I guess explains the seasick sensation.

Vive la juxtaposition!

Looking at these windows undulating in and out makes me feel kind of seasick. Anyone else have a similar reaction? Maybe some passers-by will feel the same when it's done and it will become known as the Seasick Building.

The rising skywall (is that a word?) makes the common look really small in this picture.

I thought it was going to be a giant teabag dangling down the side. Were there multiple proposals, or was the teabag proposal for another site?

In other words, No. Thanks for the link. I've never seen that BO thread before.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to simplify the tangle of roads in this area? To benefit the pedestrians, I mean.

Mmm...I don't know. People here constantly go on about how horrible this is, but it doesn't look that bad. Still not seen it IRL, but for me it sort of works, even the WHOOP.

I have no idea why, but I find the glazing in the new photos kind of unsettling.

I think that "all the people who were against Columbus Center" basically came down to Ned Flaherty and the guy who headed the community advisory committee. Ned was just fighting to preserve his views and I have no idea what the other guy's motives were. They sure knew how to work up a crowd, though.

You and my brother would get along. Total car racing nut. (Also WWII fighter planes nut, in case you feel ostracized about that too).

The architects must have been watching "The Big Lebowski" and suddenly a 1000-watt lightbulb turned on over their heads.

It has a certain affinity with the Pierce in that regard. Those developers basically incorporated a hero shot component into their building. Good thing too, otherwise there'd be nothing there to meet the eye.

Two comments: 1. This is starting to look like a mighty impressive skyline to me. (y) 2. I love the layered look of these pics, with the brick base on the bottom and the glass and steel towers rising from the base.

Have never heard of them before but it sure does look like their work. Thanks.
