Do you mean "850" Boylston St., the one with the failed wind turbines?

To put the area in context: The grand old building to which you refer was the A.T Steward Department store and then the Record American newspaper. Trucks would line up on Otis Street to be filled with daily deliveries. The whole area was basically industrial by the 20th c, and rather run...

I keep thinking of how wonderful it could be if the Mass Pike were covered. The flow into the South End would be matchless. Yes, I know it's expensive...but down the line maybe...

Massive!

Okay, that strange back wall just got more acceptable. I actually like the fins and the textural effect.

Sweet looking park for a sweet kid who was forced into the ultimate sacrifice. Hope the story is told along with the tribute.

Looks too much like the ugly Lowell Wang towers.

On a recent trip to Boston I was particularly impressed by the lushness of the parks across from the Intercontinental as well as the abundance of flowers in the North End parks. Everything else around them fade into the background. The air even seems purer. Admittedly I was very afraid that...

Great pics DZH22! Some of them are in fact wonderful abstractions, artistically rendered, that depict the uniqueness of Boston and her skyline. Great overlay of textures, patterns, shapes, and materials.

Much better facade design. I am liking this building much more. I had hated it in its previous iteration.

Just for some perspective: There are parts of Florida that continue to boom non-stop. I live in Hillsborough county, where Tampa and St. Petersburg are located. Next door, in Pasco County alone (relatively small; there are 67 counties in FL, few cities and towns, lots of unincorporated land)...

I love this sculpture. Right size, right placement, right color/finish, right material and most of all, the right abstraction to offer remembrance and tribute to MLK. He embraced all of humanity to encourage our better selves. This is the message I hope all will get.

Oh....:-(

Does anyone know what happened to the fourth statue in the set? It was removed when the new headhouse next to the plaza was built, but never relocated. Hope it hasn't disappeared as happened to the two lions of the set of 4 that were supposed to adorn the Chinatown gateway.

Not the thread, but is there somewhere here where Boston Common improvements are described as related to the Little Building?

Did an architect actually get paid to design these facades? The grey one isn't even a real facade; it's just a blank wall with holes for windows. Why are residents who will be paying good money to live here, saddled with butt-ugliness?

History has shown time and again that when a metro area grows to depend on limited kinds of industries or companies the time comes when these generators of cash go away or become obsolete, and no one can pick up the pieces. These economic downturns leave behind social upheaval and poverty for...

While I love the look of this project, I lament the loss of Quaker Lane. It was one of the last 17th C street patterns left in the city; it was where Quakers, a seriously persecuted minority, found a safe haven for a while (until Mary Dyer was hung on Boston Common for her religion and the...

I like the section on the lower floors on Causeway St. that connects up the pieces...the "windows" evoke the old Garden facade. And the section on the right reminds me of the industrial buildings that populated the area.
