Did anyone see this on Boston.com? I almost put it in the Filene's thread as 1/2 of the suggestions are for that spot, but it does include more spots (including Columbus Center).

There's also a photo section of the 25 designs here: http://www.boston.com/business/arti...e_up_stalled_building_projects_around_boston/
Our amateur (and professional) architects can submit their designs too here: http://www.boston.com/business/gallery/holerenderingsubmit/
