Must be some expensive windows!

Re: Seaport Square (Formerly McCourt Seaport Parcels) This is a CBT project by the way. I know because my friend is working on it.

This will be a nice improvement for the area, although they should have gone higher. They should be very desirable apts - right between a supermarket and a major transportation hub.

I don't think it looks dated at all. It's taking some modernist queues, but overall it looks pretty contemporary to me.

Re: Driven By Customer 'Service' Parte Dos I'd love to see a couple announcement signs in the main South Station lobby...do I have time to run upstairs to CVS or grab a cheeseburger?

Sketchup "renderings" always look crappy. This is being done by the same office that designed the Envoy Hotel being built in the Seaport so I'll reserve judgement until I see a better rendering or until it starts going up.

This comic propagates the myth that architects make a lot of money.

Re: The Commons at Forest Hills | 3593-3615 Washington St | Jamaica Plain The quotes in the JP Gazette are equally ridiculous.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium Yeah, it seems like that happens just about every year, although last game was a bigger than average bump. I doubt that Revolution will be pulling anything close to 30,000 on average anytime soon. This is an intriguing idea, but it may be difficult based on...

That's a pretty neat concept - I'm actually surprised I've never seen something like it before. Is there a reason developers don't do this more often?

I think this building is the perfect scale for its location. With the roof deck it should be really nice. It's close enough to the street level as to liven up the atmosphere and ambiance of the area. It keeps a connection between the two zones but is far enough up to offer some privacy.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium It would be great to be able to do this in Boston (or Somerville) sometime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y90pIqHRCSE

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium I saw this posted on Facebook today. SSS at Carter Playground? http://mwillis.com/post/91177763559/a-boston-dream-for-the-new-england-revolution

If they're doing it for these matches, I wonder why they didn't for the US ones.

Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium [emphasis mine] Now you're just venturing into the absurd.

Interesting lecture here: http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/136 He's also written the two best books about public housing in Boston.
