ruminations about architecture and design

nice looking building

I happened to have my camera with me while taking a walk through the city, so I thought I'd share this image of a building near Downtown Crossing in Boston. Its shape is a function of its site, and the original architect was almost certainly under a directive to maximize real estate value--and make it pretty. I wonder what the floor plan is like. Probably a real mess in terms of circulation and code compliance, but the shallow floor plates and tall windows probably mean there's good light in the office spaces.
