I'm on-and-off about this building. At the ground level, it's not too bad. From a way, it's awful. And from the south, with the (dare I say it?) magestically ugly Christian Science tower*, they're two deformed nipples on the only hooker not taken at last call. (The thing in the middle? Yaa, that's her adam's apple. Try not to stare.)
it is kind of depressing to think that this is the design we get anymore when height is finally permitted. Is the BRA so aesthetically unaware? Does no one architect have an original or even just a mildly attractive idea? Is no one willing to spend any money not toward building a non-bland box of boring?
(* NOTE: The FCCS tower works extremely well in the context of the concrete campus but remains an ugly blot on the Boston landscape, only providing interest in the atrosity of its utter instrusion in a city crammd with bland boring blah towers. As if Comrade Stolichnaya had a few too many before putting pencil to paper.)
