The fake bike lane that appears out of nowhere.

Stinker.

This is just a graph of interest rates.

You can’t allow public architecture, even for a utilitarian building, look this bad.

Why are there different types of brick coursing and different types of brick? Why are the quoins different on each side? Why is there efflorescence already? This is a fucking mess.

What will it take for Boston’s corps of second rate architects to abandon this lazy trope?

Colossal order offset windows, Grade F.

I'm fine with everything but the demolition of that building on W2nd. Surely that can be repurposed!

I note that this plan also calls for a complete clearout along W 2nd Street. This means demolishing the very large, stately handsome brick building on Broadway and W2nd.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - my comment is in reference to this specific park and I am praising its inclusion in the project.

There needs to be a sizeable park somewhere around here. Somewhere to throw a ball around or hold a concert or a summer movie. These little pocket parks and nooks are great, but there needs to be something bigger. Additionally, this will probably be designed to serve as flood mitigation.

The Lucas is great and this is going to be great. Truly the highest adaptive reuse of these old buildings. Much better than the fate that befell the church that IBA purposefully allowed to fall into disrepair or the church in Charlestown that is currently a DOLLAR TREE.

5000 parking spaces.

This would be an absolutely perfect spot for a weird Japan-style microbar if only a liquor license didn’t cost $800,000.

Incredible that they're taking a building without alternating windows and going and jamming in alternating windows.

Harvard hasn’t built a good building in about a century.

It would be such a blessing if this project died.

Genuinely appalling that they’re doing paper construction at a site like this. Heads should roll.

Not great, not bad. This will do.

GL to Nubian before anything else.
