Awkward, perhaps. But significantly better than what was there before.
Some posters in this forum clearly have a blind hatred of Alucobond, but otherwise I think the addition of a new material and new composition help this building overcome the relentless concrete cladding that previously existed. |

This building was designed by Dr. Frankenstein.

I don't hate Alucobond, it can just seem very bland and boring in many cases, even more so than concrete. However, it has it's merits, and is a very useful addition to an architects library of materials. See the Alucobond used at FP3, you'll most likely really like how it looks.

Not a good photo, but worth posting. This was the second day in a row I noticed the building, for the first time. It was lit up, last night. Looks cool in the skyline; from Back Bay it shows up right next to the Radisson, if I remember right.
