Re: future skyline vid
 ...too boxy I was expecting some renders of projects downtown but those were interesting, too! |

Re: future skyline vid
Back Bay skyline idea #4: Replace the esplenade with new boxy low-rise boathouse luxury apartments.
I'm so thankful for the insightful journalism that brought me this well-researched report on napkin sketches done by people who clearly have never been to Boston! |

Re: future skyline vid
Boston's a fail. Don't worry guys. When I become an architect, I'll make sure these "architects" will get booted out of this business because they clearly don't have a creative mind. Building on top of the existing tower by adding blurry squares? Crescent building that can barely be seen in the skyline? Since when were 100 ft boxes a part of the skyline. Fail fail fail. The serpentine is the best but like always will never get approval. My god and they say these four are the best. Makes me cringe.

Re: future skyline vid
Who said anything about these being four of the best? These were drawn up in a week by no name designers who were solicited via facebook.

Re: future skyline vid
That was terrible, but it would probably be interesting to do something similar on aB.

Re: future skyline vid
I second the idea of a "archboston skyscraper design competition."

Re: future skyline vid
What would you say - Just for the Back Bay as in the BBJ report, or in any area/context?

Re: future skyline vid
Either that or design a building on already existing proposal.
