Innovative and imaginative I will give you. Inspired... well that is up for debate.
I think I liked the Liebeskind building better but I still think that was a dud too.

Whose plans are they? Mass Hort is in dire financial straits. They cancelled next year's spring flower show.

A Boston design firm will revise zoning along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority picked Utile Inc. Architecture & Planning to establish the boundaries of the Greenway development district, consider build-out scenarios and devise environmental standards.
Ken Greenberg, the designer who made recommendations to the city for Fan Pier, is expected to be named as a subcontractor. The team will examine the 2.5-mile park that replaced the elevated highway depressed during the Big Dig.
The new guidelines will come as plans emerge for two developments along the Greenway.
The Raymond Property Co. is expected to file plans to replace the Government Center Garage at 1 Congress St. with a so-called transit-oriented project of hotel, office, condominiums and retail. The property is adjacent to the Haymarket MBTA station.
In addition, Donald Chiofaro, owner of the Boston Harbor Garage near the New England Aquarium, hopes to demolish the seven-story concrete facility and replace it with a mix of luxury office space, hotel and condominiums.

For the love of god, how many more firms is the city going to hire to "investigate" how best to use this land?!
Unreal.
$50 says they eventually hire a firm that recommends scrapping the whole thing and adding elevated highways to handle northbound traffic while leaving the tunnel as purely southbound.
