That almost looks like it was prefab-assembled from a bunch of half-complete boxy sections trucked in by wide-load flatbed...a phenomenon I had front-row seat watching get constructed in real-time with a couple condo buildings out by New St./Concord Ave. The jut-out "style" ends up the byproduct of all the constituent parts being made from flatbed-sized building blocks. Out in that area you wouldn't notice the difference in finished product because the razed property was all flipped ex-industrial parcels. Definitely more jarring a sight around Harvard, so the aesthetic fit is questionable at best.
Probably wasn't a modular job here, so who the hell knows what they were thinking with all those juts. The building next door most definitely does not tee up the sort of counterpoint that begs to be so over-the-top high-concept. Those angles are extreme-unorthodox enough I almost wonder if it's unnecessarily constraining the inside space.
