Not liking this one a whole lot. Looks like a building-sized contraption for slicing and dicing giant vegetables or some such thing.

Those look cool. Never seen them before. What are they and how big?

I love this building. Given that its Boston ARTS Academy it makes sense to me to have as much visual stimulation and unusual massing as necessary to spark the imagination, cause curiosity and questioning, and otherwise make students, faculty, and guests proud to be housed in such a key landmark for Boston.

It’s not. It’s going to become a hotel.

I don't have much more that I can expand on - it's just not great news regarding the fate of the project, at least from what I've heard.

I don’t get the purpose, then.
