Re: New Tower(s) Planned For Prudential Center
All the Pru itself and the residential towers need is love.
Residental Towers:
-Powerwash the concrete (restores the contrast between it and the brick)
-Replace windows, either with integrated shades or tinted/reflective glass to avoid the white window trend with so many shades pulled down. This really kills the building as well.
-Repaint/reclad the mechanical floors. Maybe with aluminum to match the pru.
-Lighting. Light up the penthouse and mechanical floors like a christmas tree. Some soft downlighting on the sides could be nice too.
The Pru:
-Shine up the aluminum so it blinds aircraft pilots with its splendor.
-Replace the teal panels. Possibly the same color, just freshen it up.
-Clear glass instead of mirrored, to allow the teal panels and aluminum to really stand out.
If you notice, the pru looks AMAZING in night shots, particularly because the long exposures hide the years of dirt and grime and make it looks new and shiny. Making it look this way in the daytime would do wonders.
The depth of materiality on the pru is really stunning, and particularly unmatched in any towers before or after. That should be embraced instead of left to deteriorate.
