I'm not part of the height crowd so I know your comment is not directed at me but let me clarify why I hate this design. It's a box. It's a box stacked on top of boxes.
Having traveled around many major cities across the US, I realize the quality of the architecture in Boston is not reduced because of the height, it's reduced because architects are putting in the minimalest of effort to make anything iconic here and y'all are giving them a pass. Aside from the slanted roof towers we get, which btw is nothing breakthrough (we have 5 of them in the last 20 years, do something new for once) the only proposals that are of quality in the foreseeable future is the office tower at the government center garage and to a lesser extent, 1 Dalton Street only because of it's height.
If you really think a stack of off centered boxes is quality (which is essentially the ICA times 6), then you guys really need to start traveling to other major cities and look at what's being built elsewhere.
