The review was borderline incoherent lmao At least he was honest with his position eventually which boils down to "I don't like any change whatsoever"

Anyone else surprised no glazing has gone up yet? Progress seems slow and steady here with the steel, whereas the BU stack is shooting up and already getting enclosed.

This is hilarious and I'm so conflicted here. It's both ridiculously garish with a backlog of symbolism, but also refreshingly bold and somehow a tasteful font? Getting a sign that big on a new building (next to Citgo, let alone anywhere else in the city) sounds like an anomaly. I don't recall...

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect at least a baseline of quality in posts/photos instead of anything where a few pixels of a project show up. But also relax dude, it was half a joke.

This is the latest design: Dark verticals were added since the 9/13 meeting.

Funny enough, it looks like you caught the plant mid-emergency with a ruptured steam valve. https://universalhub.com/2021/steam-pipe-ruptures-kneeland-street-plant-bringing But also, please stop taking photos from your car while driving.

Could you post a photo with any less useful information?

I think it's actually really nice to have that keystone-like site be occupied by a civic, more quiet building, than a typical mixed-use whatever that's all throughout seaport and the harbor walk. The park and harbor walk around it aren't detracted by a bunch of inward-drawing program with the...

Is this suppose to look bad? Love it. Looks like an architect designed it instead of a developer's spreadsheet. I'd welcome a return to some monumental brick and bases that aren't just full glass and metal panel.

Pretty watercolor rendering. The rest of Nelson's project don't give me high confidence though in terms of "design." Nice urban waterfront planning though. Reminds me of the new Wharf complex in DC. This in particular made me laugh:

Soulless, glassy AC unit #2, coming online soon...

Did they have to pick... cream for the mullion color? Other than that, this is looking really nice. Better use of materials and proportions than the new Somerville high school.

One Dalton without the budget for curved glass lol

Why isn't Exxon Mobile responsible for cleaning up the mess they made?

Actually yeah I feel that too. Don't get me wrong, I'd love more variety, but somehow the variety has to speak to some degree of quality and natural aggregation over time - some authentic grit. Like just knowing all the shops in hub hall showed up the same way under a parent corp, but the...

Answering for that guy because I feel similar about this one and have been trying to figure out why. It's not terrible, but a number of things are just on the cheap-looking side - particularly compared to TimeOut in Fenway. - For one the shape of the space itself isn't great as just a low-ish...

They're molecular profiles. Apparently it's a running theme throughout the building. Sort of like these:

The issue is that the GL is so physically large with so many stations (many with long names), and need to be labeled horizontally because the diagonal placement was found to be hard to read by users. And in the end, it ranks 3rd in ridership levels and tourists/visitors are unlikely to need to...

Oh I see now. Yeah Inbound/Outbound was pretty clear to me (until around the core...) But regarding the map itself, after watching the video of previous designer talk through the map's history, and considering just how batshit the general rail layout in this city is, I give them credit for...
