    Worcester Infill and Small Developments

    just a smattering of "cool" things from the not so distant past in Worcester that I can think of off the top of my head: -The Hanover Theatre Conservatory -Brickbox Theater -The Grid district -Carroll Plaza revamp -Worcester Common renovation w/ skating rink -growth of stART on the Street -WRTA...

    Bay Village Apartment Tower | 212 Stuart St. | Bay Village

    The edges and corners of this one are absolutely stunning. The sliced though uneven scallops just above that awning is such an amazingly textural detail.

    South Station Tower | South Station Air Rights | Downtown

    Also there will be something dramatic in walking through a smaller, more regular opening and being released into a grand arching space. I design imersive theater and one of the big spacial concepts we work with is compression vs. expansion. Walking though a small space to get to a big space...

    Then the answer is to make things better for them, not make it worse for everyone else. We should all have a right to sit down in public spaces and have access to public restrooms. Even, or especially, the homeless should have these rights. Let's maybe house people instead of removing benches...

    NYC Architecture and Development

    This isn't a Penn station redevelopment. It is a way to give multiple city blocks and a ten figure tax break to Vornado as a kick back for helping to get people elected. *reposted becasue of messed up syntax*

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    The way the world is right now I'm sure we could find another literal Nazi, like Johnson, to build more fascist-coded architecture for us. Palladian windows for all the people that deserve them and no one else...

    Alta on the Row | Mulberry Street | Worcester (Mount Carmel Site)

    Mostly this whole development is just a stab I'm my heart. Growing up I went to about 3 weddings in that church and played in that gym countless times. Replacing a beautiful if crumbling church building with anonymous apartment blocks and a parking garage hurts more than a little. Is the housing...

    Lyrik Back Bay | 1001 Boylston Street (Parcel 12) | Back Bay

    Words like "transformational" are thrown around a ton, but this project is going to change everything around here. Incredable it is getting built and I am interested in what the vibe of the area is going to change to after it is open and settles in. Will it make this windswept corner of the city...

    Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial | Boston Common | Downtown

    I still hold that this is going to become seflie fuel and so many inappropriate pictures are going to be taken with it.

    NYC Architecture and Development

    New official renderings for JPMorgan Chase's headquarters at 270 Park Ave just dropped. The tower itself is interesting in shape and how it expresses it's structure, and I'm into how it is raised off the ground like 175 Park, but that ground floor is a disgustingly empty no-man's land...

    Winthrop Center | 115 Winthrop Square | Financial District

    I am absolutely loving the pleated façade. The fractured reflections of the sky are so interesting. As the glass gets further up we should see some spectacular sunset images with the pleats catching different colors of sky in vertical stripes all the way up the building.

    84 floors. 46 apartments. Has me feeling a certain sort of way.

    Blue Line extension to Lynn

    I think this is the right place for this as connecting Wonderland to the commuter rail would reasonably be a first step to extending the blue line, but please feel free to move if I am mistaken...

    Commuter Rail to New Hampshire?

    But doesn't a state have a right to tax goods and services? Isn't the storage of a vehicle or a train ticket a service? If there is a passenger station in Nashua shouldn't the state be able to add a tax in the same way local airports can add a "fee" to airline tickets? In NY you get hit with...

    Commuter Rail to New Hampshire?

    Forgive me for maybe being a bit naive on how passanger rail networks work, but all this scheming between MassDOT, CSX, Nashua etc. Seems to be a recipe for disaser. If they all really do decide to run trains into NH without the NH state government behind it you would suddenly have a bunch of...
