Unfortunately, the poor infrastructure is all too common in America today.

The brick masonry looks pretty authentic. The only significant vertical seam runs about a foot from the left edge of the new building. So, I give the building an A.

Up until 1960, Boston had night-owl service on its subway system. Here's a brief history gathered by AI. It's pretty lousy: 1960: Regular 24-hour "owl" subway service ended when the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) was replaced by the MBTA. 2005: The MBTA "Night Owl" bus pilot...

That truly looks like random pieces of crap just pasted on.

Kendall Square continues to produce winners!

No data to back this thought up, but I'm wondering if snowy climates like Massachusetts are not a good fit for diverging diamond interchanges. Especially when snow stuck on the roadways and poor visibility obscures pavement arrows and markings so that an unfamiliar driver doesn't see the...

I see small businesses, not retail, on the ground floor of many 5 over 1s. That could also work here.

Welp, after all, those shadows are killers.

I like this latest version the best. Its a more unified design, not disjointed like the original. Plus, to me it looks classier.

The neo-mansard in this case complements well the sloped roofs on the adjacent buildings.

ENR is a civil engineering and construction magazine, so they have historically been looking at costs for many decades now. It's like the discussion on here about MassDot not really breaking away from it's autocentric history. ENR has to change its mindset to fit the times as well.

Looks like a good project, but the cost for the new elevated line (with stations) on this project is $1 billion per mile. But that does include a new rail yard.

Or it could have looked like this, which is a fairly decent 60s building:
