kz's Photos from Various Skyscrapers

[Waldorf]

And if you think about it, there may have been a second shooter from the grassy knoll or was it the book depository?

Friday's views

38th floor of Exchange Place. This is the highest up I've gotten so far

And the 10th floor of Ten Emerson Place

 

[ablarc]

Neither--this is a post-dropout job. Long story short, I hate Berklee and wanted to (and should have) dropped out a lot time ago.

Looks like it's architecture school for you, bo'. Get ready for a life of frustration.

What was your main complaint about Berklee?

 

[kz1000ps]

Ablarc, I'll get back to you about Berklee.

Today's catches:

36th floor of One Longfellow Place

37th floor of One Post Office Square

From Monday the 7th, somewhere in the upper 20s of 125 High Street

and from Wednesday the 9th, the 46th floor of One International Place - Chiofaro's offices

:shock: I always love your shots kz.

The view from the Longfellow towers might be the best in Boston. If I had the money, that's where I'd be.

 

[Ron Newman]

You mean the salt-shaker towers on the bridge?

 

[atlantaden]

As usual, awesome pictures!! Thanks.
Question...in the last pic, is that a fountain/water feature in the Greenway that was recently added?

 

[kz1000ps]

No, he's referring to this

36th floor of One Longfellow Place

 

[Ron Newman]

I didn't even know Boston had a building with this name. Where is it, and what companies are located there?

 

[kz1000ps]

Longfellow Place is just west of the Hurley building, and the two twin tallest towers in the west end (grey concrete 70s things) are a part of the complex.

Only pic I have of them. It's from Staniford St.

 

[vanshnookenraggen]

Didn't I.M. Pei do these?

 

[ablarc]

That courthouse really gets my goat. Its fat, ugly, boring, gloomy, clumsy presence has waddled onto this choice site and settled in for a fifty-year wallow.

And everybody was so glad to see a parking lot replaced that nobody said a word.

[ablarc]

A splendid and unsung building with really great street presence.

I'd hate to ever lose this one; it needs talking up.




Also: just look at all those nifty rooftop additions. The domed one in front of the Hancock is particularly fetching. (The small one on the building's other end is even better.)

Blackstone Block needs to be knitted back into the North End, not separated by the Greenway.

 

[ablarc]

Paired concrete sequoias spring from a bricky mother earth.

 

[ablarc]

What a gem. Too bad it's now so truncated.

Machado/Silvetti's subway entrances look mighty good from here (street-level pix, anyone?).

Traffic pattern in Dewey Square all screwed up. Could that block of Summer Street be closed between Atlantic Avenue and Purchase Street?

 

[ablarc]

Is this perhaps the city's best square?

What a place this would be to emerge from the subway.

Machado/Silvetti's subway entrances look mighty good from here (street-level pix, anyone?).

I like them a lot myself: four organic variations on a geometric theme. The frosted glass is unnecessary fuss, but otherwise a fine understated piece of public art.
