Re: 111 Federal St. | Formerly Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2
Lisbon -- the supreme irony of that Yamasaki reference -- Yamasaki designed the old Eastern Airlines Terminal at Logan [circa 1970]
-- it came down to make way for Terminal A
When you ask -- 2005 the new terminal opened -- I'm guessing the old one was taken down in 2003
Agreed that the Brutalist buildings you mention are more compelling than Rudolph's at 133 Fed. The "Y"-shaped pillars are my favorite part of the building because they remind me of the tridents at the base of Yamasaki's World Trade Center towers. Aside from the base, I'm not 133 Fed's biggest fan. I'm torn as to whether or not it deserves to be saved.
