Isn't the point of an art gallery the interior? I wouldn't make a trip to anywhere, just to see the exterior of a gallery...Bilbao included. Plus - just to play devil's advocate: an art gallery is a type of storage facility.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) This isn't true. Commercial RE rents have already fallen 15%-25% depending on the building and location. Tenants whose leases expire in 2012 are shopping now to lock in these bargain rates. Vacancy rates are in the low teens for Class A office...

Bubbybu - well said! I initially reacted negatively to the fact that Foster's addition doesn't move or inspire me, but after some consideration, I've rethunk my opinion. What it does extremely well, because of this aesthetic ambivalence, is to be deferential to the original structure. It...

Re: 45 Province St Tremont "Temple"

Re: Landmark Center Expansion I always marveled that they built that great connector from the T station under Causeway Street and then stopped it 50' short of the vestibule into North Station. Does anyone know the rationale for this?

^^^AMEN!

hmm...either a) you are thinking of the wrong parcels - something in Waltham perhaps; b) you actually have never walked through the Mass Hort parcels; or c) the last time you were there was 2008, when at that time, I might have agreed with you. In reality, the parcels in front of the IC and...

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) That's it. You can also see two circular elements on it. Keeping with a "mast" theme - they're remarkably analogous to a couple o' crow's nests. I'm looking forward to seeing this hoisted up.

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) Take a close look at the last two photos. A section of the spire (mast?) was delivered and is on the flat bed truck in front of the building.

One of the most recent innovations out of SF: the queer rosary So is the stereotype really all that absurd??? ...you be the judge.

IMO - this ^^ is backwards: theirs is an overbearing monstrosity; I can't find one redeeming quality about it. Ours just has some detail issues.

Re: Congress Street Garage Development The EPA is wrapping up renovations to the Post Office at PO Square. I believe they're moving there in January and probably locked in there with a pretty long term lease commitment.

Ok...looks like a few of you took your obtuse pill today. I KNOW what it literally means. I was laughing at the "Trans" part of Transbay - you know...as in the whole LGBT thing...San Fran being the capital thereof, etc...

They really need to rethink the name of this tower. "Transbay" ...in San Francisco... is this some kind of joke???

I say rip that sucker down!!! I work near this monstrosity, & sure, I'll admit it's a work of art, but let's memorialize it on YouTube. This thing sucks the life out of the block; it is truly offensive to the pedestrian experience...brutalism is one thing; brutality is entirely different.

^^^ Is that Hartford or Rosslyn, Virginia??? ?those accursed skywalks that take pedestrians off the street!!!

^ditto Not sure if any of you picked up on a subtle bit of misinformation in the video: The Boston Tea Party took place at Griffin's Wharf not "T" Wharf. Nevertheless, that was a charming an totally entertaining bit of nostalgia.

Re: Congress Street Garage Development AND...a raised floor air delivery system for the office tenants - how Euro!

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) The garage is 100% below grade. Take another look through those windows in the brick section; your eyes have deceived you.

^ah...ok, thanks for clarifying what you were referring to. I see your point...the anti-gravity brick is a funky detail (not a good funky).
