BRA approved.
"The façade features a highly visible, pleated curtainwall that subtly nods to the building’s address—the Roman numerals III II I—and coaxes depth out of a north-facing exterior."Design has changed a bit for the better.

Great observation!!!"The façade features a highly visible, pleated curtainwall that subtly nods to the building’s address—the Roman numerals III II I—and coaxes depth out of a north-facing exterior."
Cool!
Since that pleating clearly costs $'s, I bet it was the developer who needed to be coaxed!I love the archi-speak use of the word coax. Like the building itself was saying "hey ... I just want to be flat man" and then "oh ... ok ... I will wiggle a bit just for you."

That location is very visible, so worth the investment, and it serves the additional role of hiding 1000 Washington (the old Teradyne building behind it). (Also being hidden from the south by 345 Harrison!)
The above post contains my response to Jeffs post. Likely BCDC sent it back for improvements. An yes ... it does cost $$. Is it worth it?Praise the BCDC! It's thankfully no longer a copy of 1000 Washington!
I wonder why developers are choosing not to cover the entire parking structure...
