“Boston and the Skyscraper”
Like many cities, Boston has cultivated a specific image based on its skyline; however, the Prudential and John Hancock Tower are more than a generation old, and Boston has resisted the urge to create more landmark tall buildings.
Join Boston’s chief planner Kairos Shen; architects Tim Love AIA, Alex Krieger FAIA and Blake Middleton FAIA, LEED AP; and visiting assistant professor of urbanism at Yale, Elihu Rubin, on Thursday, June 28, at 6:30 pm at BSA Space (290 Congress Street, Boston) for a discussion of Boston’s ambiguous relationship with the high-rise. Rubin also will present his new book, Insuring the City: The Prudential Center and the Postwar Urban Landscape (Yale University Press, 2012); copies will be available for purchase. This event, part of "Shaping the Living City" by the Urban Design Committee, is free and open to all. RSVP to rsvp@architects.org with “Urban 6/28” in the subject line. Sign in at the event to receive 1.5 LUs.
