So do I. Architect is Nader Tehrani, a real designer’s designer. Used to be head of Harvard and MIT architecture schools. He also did this building in the South End in 2007, another dark jagged one.

IMG_9811There's a perspective you don't see every day. What an interesting vantage point. And we even get one of the radio/TV towers out on 128 in the shot (not sure of this, but drawing a straight line across a map it looks like it would be the WBZ/CBS tower in Needham).
I added a wider shot to the Cambridge skylines thread and you can see 3 out of the 4 supertall towers. (would have seen them all if I panned more to the left)
The specific viewing location is from the plaza here:

Interesting, just noticed an application filed with the Historical Commission to install a mural in the alleyway between the NoMa tower & the old American Red Cross building (on the side of the Red Cross building), roughly here:
(via google maps)
My first thought was "no way" this is getting approved, that's one of the oldest buildings in the area, then I noticed they are proposing first applying a layer of removable sacrificial coating so that the mural can be easily removed. I suppose I like the thought of adding some vibrancy. Here's the application:
