We need a "Boston in Art" thread. I'd spam it with my mom's work.

I appreciate the Boston love, but if you look at Shanghai or Melbourne just to name a couple, it gets diminished quite a bit.

Shanghai's skyline is visually stunning and SO "high tech" and bright -- reminiscent of Hong Kong in a lot of ways -- it really does make Boston look like an intentionally gloomy and dark spot. The Huangpu is so unbelivably disgusting, though (so much worse than Boston Harbor in the '60s-'80s. It looks and smells like liquified diarrhea), that I think Boston's waterfront skyline, while certainly underwhelming in comparision in terms of height and "flash," is much more pleasant.

Some old ones. I often post these types on Dirty Old Boston for those of you who have missed that thread.

The new Verizon Building looks like a glass version of the old Analex Building on the same location.

I'd take the Analex over the Verizon any day.

I agree. It just seems that the Verizon is similar to the Analex in it's massing. Even the Verizon's square-patterned cladding mimics the Analex. I doubt if the architects were trying to pay any kind of tribute to the Analex, but there are some similarities, intentional or not.
