Duany: "Kids these days!!" GSD: *ignore* Duany: "Get off my damn lawn!!!" GSD: "If it's too loud, you're too old" http://urbanomnibus.net/2010/11/gsd-throwdown-battle-for-the-intellectual-territory-of-a-sustainable-urbanism/ Interestingly the most levelheaded and sane thoughts come later...

wow, that's a black & white worldview you have there. You should find a hipster to borrow some crayons from

he can only turn left at that intersection, its one way. Also worth noting that the photographer is standing with his back to a Dunkin Donuts

in a silver line-dedicated lane, no less

Really interesting suggestions, all (really, Gremlins 2? or am I missing the joke?). If nothing else this will keep me occupied over the holidays. I initially thought this could be a great opportunity to expand my own understanding and delve into Metropolis or Battleship Potemkin or Tati or...

I am looking for a film to show a group of undergrads, with the hope of it launching a discussion of space, material, human ritual, etc. I want it to not be a documentary about architecture or anything super didactic, but an inroad to the students sniffing around for architectural influence...

Madison did something similar in the 1990's and built a Frank Lloyd Wright convention center from 50 year old drawings. Not that I advocate doing that stuff. No one, neither the pro- nor con- party, regard it as a true Wright building, even though from a distance it looks exactly like his...

Christian Science Center?

Re: Atlantic Wharf (formerly Russia Wharf) egad. an underscaled lance in hand and an overshined pot on its head.... the don quixote building

Haymarket Mobil Hanover and Commercial Then there's this in Brookline that has been repurposed but last I checked it was indeed vacant, if not abandoned. It's more the vintage you're looking for though. Also check out this old garage with an existing old Cadillac sign (or part of one...

Link? Painting name? Cmon man!!!

I relied heavily on that photo for a proposal we did in that area a few years ago-- nice to see it again. BB, if memory serves it was 1943 (or was it 47?). Anyway you're very close with your estimate

While I generally agree (don't forget the MIT tower and the harbor towers), the interior experience of the JFK Library is really well done. (And the exterior/landscape spaces are masterful, but that's Dan Kiley's scope more than Pei's.) But there are alot of things to like about that building...

it reminds me of one of those Honda Civics you see with 6 grand's worth of shiny, shoddy aftermarket add-ons

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown I love that garage too-- quirky footprint fills the site, has a huge grocery store, offices, and parking. It's unapologetically commonplace and infrastructural and there is a vigorous spirit behind the mind that would think to keep and renovate...

can we start with the mayor? At least Frank is articulate, and I buy him as a thinker. I agree with you on term limits, but he would be in the final phase of lifers i'd replace.

I thought I'd try my hand at connecting dots and ROWs and cobbling together a transit line. Mine seizes the swath of undeveloped land alongside Melnea Cass before using the meatpacking area to connect it to all the active(?) and abandoned ROWs in the seaport area. I give you The Periwinkle...

Re: South Boston Seaport There wasn't one in the Back Bay before that was built either.....

Re: Northeastern eyes dorms Tom, maybe you could unpack "elitism" a bit for us (and for you). What exactly do you mean by that? It's a word that is thrown around alot to mean different things, and I don't really sense a consistent working definition of it.
