Crime Against Urbanity
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I used to be for the demolition of this building but the fact that it could have been saved had the Mayor and Kairos Shen not stuck their nose in it, this is an incredible tragedy.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

So glad Shen decided we needed to be saved from iconic buildings.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

It's disappointing. not every building has to be iconic (or would be if it tried.) and bland boxes in their background have a place, but the fact that they actively hollowed out an vibrant, purposeful design is terrible.

There's that sinking feeling again...

Shen and Menino give pigs a bad name.

Who's got molotov cocktails? Let's get that damn construction equipment.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I'm not working today, can someone go over and get some progress pixs? I know at least two of you's who works around the corner :)
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

Well. That sure is depressing.

It makes you wonder if the "Mad Men" craze is making its way into architecture and urban planning. Should we next expect the North End to be leveled for a highway and 3 or 4 Modernist, right-angles-and-concrete housing projects surrounded by grassy dead zones?

Oh, you mean the West End?

Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I'm not sure I can stand to see more pics of this. For once I want fewer updates and not more...
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I've been thinking the same thing. I compulsively check every thread but I wish there was a way to block this one.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

Better get used to it now. It'll hurt even more when Shreve's gets murdered.
 
Re: 120 Kingston, 29 Story Tower in Chinatown

I refuse to walk down the street to look at it.
