Shreve, Crump & Low Redevelopment | 334-364 Boylston Street | Back Bay

[RandomWalk]

I really want to see how this looks with a finished interior, both during the day and at night. I personally fear that this is going to look best at night, with the backlighting granting the windows some personality.

The wrap around corner windows were a mistake IMO. There's enough detail to allow this building to blend in, but the corners make it stick out in a bad way.

Parcel P (Foundation Medicine) in the Seaport

Dang! I like that one. Great old industrial look and a bit art deco. I wish the Shreve, Crump and Low was up to this

That Seaport is architecture by someone who gives a shit about urban fabric. Druker's building is simply someone grabbing as much dinner as possible.

It's also a space hog. The sidewalks around this massive building block should be far wider for a heavily walked area.

..but, hey, it's not like that location of Boylston Street is some sort of marquee spot or anything

If you ask me, Druker got aware with urban architectural murder here. He should have a lot to make up to Boston for this one.

What were people thinking - Druker, the city, RAMSA? Take down a landmark and give us this? Everyone whiffed. Sad.
