Re: One Seaport Square | Parcels B-C@Seaport Sq. | Seaport
This hurts my brain.

^ Yes, there is a lot going on there, and not in a good way! It feels like it should include a plaque "Inspired by M. C. Escher"
Diversity of shapes, colors and textures works here to give it a layered urban form - which is important for a building in a district built from nothing. And, even if the facades are all over the place, there's a unity of design language here. I think it's a big win.

^ Thats interesting because thats the #1 most complained about thing regarding the new buildings in the seaport. I imagine overall these would be received much worse by the masses than they are if they were boxes.
Personally, seeing this in person and knowing what they are going to look like when complete based on renders I think this is actually a very good development and a perfect fit for the spot. Time will tell once people start moving in and hanging around in the area how much it livens up the area and becomes a "destination" or not.
