Re: New tower at Aquarium parking garage.
Thank you. The dude was a douche but he knew what he was doing.
Um, but Johnson lived here when he wasn't in CT or NY (they just put the plaque on his old house in Cambridge). And the Palladian windows were an expression of the classical kitsch that was tres chic at the time. Thankfully Johnson actually knew how to do pomo professionally; you can't ever really take those windows seriously. Stern's miniature State House dome on Boylston St., on the other hand, looks like a cartoon.
