There's a thin-ness to the Whoop's façade that makes it seem transient. Like they could easily rip it down and reskin the building if a different tenant wanted it.
 
The only acceptable façade of the WHOOPS building is the concrete backside.
 
If the sampler is a true indication of what the finished product is going to be I'm very worried.

I was horrified by the Kensington development's cheap use of materials years ago. It's blended into the skyline, and I'm not as offended today. I wonder if this development will be the same over time?

The Whoops building in all its glaring orange-ness at sunset. The pinkish color it has during the day is a bit subdued here by the orange light, which makes it slightly less hideous, but still ugly and cheap nonetheless.

Independent Thought Alert

As bad as the brick is and the Whoop sign is, the people shitting on it are worse. It sucks but it’s there. And is it the worst building in the Fenway?
