^ This. Oh, so this.

Can we have this rule for "the Greenway will be perfect when the trees grow in," too?

I passed by the work site earlier this afternoon and I was amazed by the amount of process. The core on 50 Northern Ave. was up to the fourth floor and 11 Fan Pier Blvd. core was up to the eleventh, while steel work was at ground level.

Cranes Cranes

With apologies to Rogers and Hammerstein Carousel

Cranes is bustin' out all over!
The streets aren't sleepin' anymore!
All the Ram trucks chase the lunch trucks
All determined there'll be new towers
and the folks aren't even keepin' score!

All
On acounta it's Cranes in March, March March
Just because it's Cranes in the Hub

Mock ups.

Is that an angry hunchback???

Are these still the best/latest renderings?

i would assume so based on the above image of the skin mock up:

 

[Hutchison]

50 Northern Avenue looks like a massing model for the Center for Life Sciences. 11 Fan Pier Boulevard looks like a tubby, misshapen Saltonstall Building.

Please pass the NoDoz...

Agreed, BB.

The interplay between these two buildings is overwhelmingly awkward. There's the uneasy space that opens up a few stories aboveground when the setback kicks in on building that's in the foreground in the above photo (btw, do these buildings have names or any separate identities, or will we always be referring to one or the other as "the one in the foreground/background"?).

Then there's the fact that the building in the background in the above pic has the unfortunate horitzontal panelling that screams "Welcome to the 80s!" and looks like a layer of skin shed by the Tip O'Neill Building or the Westin Copley Place. Really, what were the architects not thinking here?
