What are you referring to, Ablarc? Anything in particular?

Not a "green space" dog, but love the park and amphitheatre ideas. Pity it will be a parking lot for 20 more years. Bigger pity that the sweetheart developer who got the gift is keeping all the parking revenue!

Well, I think that text looks a bit Photoshopped (is there a word for when real life looks like computer graphics?) but I must say that it somehow works.

Looks way less photoshopped than the cartoon cupola on the Charles Street Jail.

Love it, kinda. Boston finally discovered a way to respect/revere history without pastiche bricks & ivy!

Re: Suffolk Dorms / Modern Theatre

But that's not the Modern, it's the Paramount/Bijou project. Can someone move it to the more appropriate thread?

I would like it much better if it had "KEITH" in huge letters in honor of the late, great, theater owner, but I'll settle for less.

That's actually Suffolk's project, the Paramount Center is essentially done, save for some interior work.

How tall is this project supposed to be?

Whoops! Fixed.

Re: BRA approves Emerson College's Paramount Center

All this construction in these tiny, challenging, historically sensitive lots makes the emptiness of Hayward Place look like more of a joke every day.

Just a note: I found out today that the silver Alucobond motif extends to the interior of the building.

Re: BRA approves Emerson College's Paramount Center

Damn, I'd love to take that tour, but I have a class on Thursday nights. If anyone else can go, I'd love to see a report here (and photos).

Is a more public grand opening ceremony scheduled yet?

Hell, Ron, what are you doing still taking classes?

You should be giving classes.
