Hmmmm ... should I take offense at this?
Only if you consider yourself to be an "idiot architect."
Which I hope not.

buy very insightful, well informed posters.
Nobody thinks that they are an idiot. They are only outed as such on internet forums buy very insightful, well informed posters.
Just so you know, my work in Boston has been called idiotic on these boards more than once. So I guess I am.

An architect with a thick skin, that I like.
Hopefully there has been some positive responses on here as well, even though this can be a very negative space (and not in the artistic or architectural meaning.)
The creation of "wide, lifeless boulevards" over and over again is a whole other thing. The infatuation with wide boulevards is a serious, endemic problem in the planning profession.
If the response of planners and architects to criticism is simply to blow it off as "haters gonna hate" then we're just going to keep going nowhere, and continue building more districts already doomed from the start, before the shovels even go in the ground.

Lol! This is the developer? Scumbag Steve's hat is icing on the cake.
Thanks for the info. Don't post any PDFs that aren't publicly accessible. You'd be surprised how many professionals in the industry watch this board like a hawk for leaks in certain threads for their developments.On the subject of the Seaport, I have the commercial leasing plans for Parcels B & C, the two apartment buildings that are supposed to break ground in June, plus 101 Seaport and Watermark Seaport. Three stories of retail at B & C, one to two stories at the others with absurdly high-end retail and local Boston stores and restaurants looking to put up a second "flagship" facility, plus some national high-end retail and restaurants. Move theater and bowling alley. You name it. Just completely over the top. I'm extremely torn about and ultimately reluctant to post the PDFs because they aren't public (I received them by way of a female friend who flirted enough over drinks with someone running the process, to the point that he forwarded them via e-mail to impress her - what a dope). But just think Newbury Street part deux.

Isn't the existing chapel on either Seaport Square Parcel B or C?
If the chapel needs to be demolished and it won't be demolished until the new chapel is complete (2016 according to this) how does B and C break ground in June? I was under the impression the proposed project shares parcels B and C for subgrade parking and possibly a few floors of the base of the two respective towers.
Am I talking about different parcels?
