Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion I believe the unmbrella tables shown in the rendering are for the corporate dining hall. In the rendering you see a small fence that closes the area in. The public will get a small coffee cart/counter in the lobby.

This forum has turned into a shitshow

Re: Christian Science Church Center Renovation/ New Towers More form the February 1, 2013 Courant article: "As long as the design proposal conforms to zoning guidelines set by the city when it approved the master plan, NABB's membership will be receptive to the project, according to Kassler."...

Re: Christian Science Church Center Renovation/ New Towers I thought this was moving forward and had all approvals (the towers), but there's an article in the current issue of the Boston Courant with the head "NABB is Receptive to Christian Science Plan." This a quote in the article, by Howard...

Re: Residences at Kensington Perhaps your time would be better spent writing love letters to the BRA

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion There are no retail entrances. The only retail is going to be in the form of a coffee cart, or maybe something a little more permanent, inside of the lobby.

Re: Residences at Kensington I thought I saw the same post. Then thought it was about another building and was trying to find it. I recall there was a comparison between this building and Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building.

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion You cant even see the Park Plaza in the skyline. Your comment is ridiculous.

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion The last time I looked this was an architecture forum. What's wrong with having a critical discussion? Should we just post and endless stream of photos and gush about very ordinary or underwhelming buildings.

Isn't that all one needs to run this town?

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion How can it be stone AND precast? Are you saying that it uses crushed limestone as part of the concrete? I guess that would explain the stone company's involvement in the project.

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion "Is the cladding precast or real limestone? It is precast. Good-looking precast, but precast just the same." Ive thought this all along, even though I found the link to the Bybee stone company. I'm not sure what their involvement was. Is it...

Re: Filene's The speed of the approval probably had something to do with the 2013 mayoral election.

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown Abusive parents often care about their children, too. Okay, I've derailed this thread enough. Sorry everyone.

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown I don't understand why, or how the guy keeps getting voted back into office. IN the last election he was voted in my 14% of all active voters in the city. Only 28% showed up at the polls. His largest voting blocks were Dorchester (22% of his votes)...

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown Well, I disagree with you. It was a great little building. We're all allowed to have our own opinions.

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown Sorry kmp1284, I did notice the building before and thought it was exceptional. I'm sad to have watched this happen (my office is two blocks from it and I've been checking out the demolition activity daily) and sadder that what's replacing it is so...
