+ White folded metal panels with a lot of angled surfaces and crevasses on the water's edge in a city will be a bit of a cleaning bill..

Even got themselves a job at RAMSA...

If you want to track only tall projects, use the 'Watch' feature at the top of the thread, then click 'Watched' at the top on the homepage. I appreciate some of the larger small projects having separate updates, especially nicer ones like this. Triple decker replacements or 5-10 unit buildings...

By a world renowned firm, nonetheless. Says something about the weight of winning an AIA Gold Medal these days...

Fair points all around. I do appreciate the stance and approach in this regard, and I am similarly growing tired of the do-nothing-and-feel-good-about-it approach. It's a good start for getting some eyes on the concept of actually doing something and feeling better about it (...but it could've...

After sitting on it for some time and seeing it at several book stores as a reminder of this thread, I'm not entirely sold on the arguments in the book as a comprehensive thesis - it's rather weak in arguing that it's all about useless policy and removing paperwork, or maybe it's that they lay...

Seems like a good time to go back to the drawing board while wrestling over funding and use some more common sense this time around...

Patriotic for July 4: Admittedly, if I wasn't told it was supposed to be a flag, I wouldn't have gotten it immediately, but it's an interesting application of tinting. I could see this being applied in much more complicated implementations once the technology takes hold...

At the time of Van's original comment, there were plenty of comments regarding how tall the redevelopment should be (myself included). Following the recent article Wednesday, 2 more calls for more height, and 5 calls for complete demo. If this "thing" is really killing the street, we can't...

Demand for housing =/= penciling out, unless you are charging quite a pretty penny for the housing. With how Boston's high end residential sales have cooled down, I'd be weary introducing a few hundred more to the mix. It's been a struggle to design (albeit- simpler, smaller) residential reno...

For the sake of displaying the transparency of this project, I've been following this in the What's Happening on Project X thread for quite some time, with little additional information to provide: My suspicion, based on Yale's recent announcement around funding concerns and construction...

This feels premature (or perhaps too late from the last building surge) for posting an RFP. Very few projects are penciling right now with how rates are going and construction costs staying high. I can't imagine developers committing to a "redevelopment" that maintains the building, or a...

It's not that shocking when green energy incentives are about to be obliterated.

Developer acquired neighboring property and is increasing from 152 units to 200 (29 IDP (+3), 8 IDP Artist Units (unchanged)), general increases in retail, amenity, etc. Parking reduced but now fully onsite. 48% studio, 28% one bed, 17% 2-bed, and 7% 3-bed.

It's a little bit of a kick in the face when student housing is essentially banned. Scape had to shift their development proposals from private student dorms/housing to residential "open-market" housing [1] [2] after "community feedback" (which if I recall a specific public comment for the...

Cabot Yard has had a planned "full" renovation to bring it up to SOGR, and make it safer and more efficient for a while now. There have been delays to this work due to issues with contractors. Work is to include: All new rail yard tracks, power system, and signals New diagnostics equipment A...

Eh, paint doesn't look great on this stuff, especially with that finish on the concrete. A quick power washing would help substantially.

It's utterly foolish to even make the comparison, and should discredit them. I love Boston, but we'll never come even remotely close to the same orbit as Manhattan on scale and energy. It helps us look and act like a more proper city when we stop comparing ourselves to NYC.
