I nominate this 17 story building at South Station ,I would think it be a better suited for a public transit oriented residential tower 40 plus stories.
Absolutely agreed. I freaking love the JFK Federal Building (the tower portion) & its lit exposed stair. It's such a bold architectural move to expose an egress stair like that and it works so brilliantly, especially at night. I can't tell you how many times I've nearly fallen down the steps on City Hall Plaza staring at that building.I happen to like the JFK Federal Building and think it is one of the few buildings from that era (or error) that is standing the test of time. ... But I have no love for the JFK tower's low rise neighbor.
Remove forever these obvious mortal sins:
The Center Plaza building, the Federal Office building (the one north of City Hall), The O'Neill building, City Hall, the State Service Center, and of course all of Charles River Park.
That would be a good beginning.
Habor towers. They are beyond ugly, in a super prominent spot on the haborwalk and green way, always seen in the skyline, and have miserable Street interaction. If that isn't bad enough, their resident association is against tearing down the habor garage to build two really cool and visually attractive towers.

curved building across from city hall as well
495 Summer Street (Barnes Building) in the Seaport. It has to be one of the most hideous buildings I've ever seen and is a huge long-block monolith that's completely dead and oppressive at street level.

Yes. Whatever "architect" designed that should be shot.
