I'm shocked that they didn't just clad that wall in a reflective glass.
Within the past decade "Just fill the space with Alucobond on it and cal it a day." became the unofficial policy of nearly every architectural firm operating in Boston.
At this point, bring on the Alucobond.
Oh....really? Its "natural" unpainted silver would have been better...or maybe multi-colored.
Did I mention cladding it in glass?
Alucobond - the vinyl siding of the commercial real estate world. Ugh.
The less this makes sense aesthetically or economically, the more I think the developers and architects just wanted to give Beacon Hill a giant, architectural middle finger.
