ruminations about architecture and design

lovely rendering of a high rise in Boston

This is a very good watercolor of a high rise that could be built over the Mass Pike in Boston. Of course, this probably won't get built for at least another decade because of the state of the economy, but one can dream. This rendering view doesn't give any idea of the scale impact at street level near the tower, but take my word for it, it would be an improvement on the current situation.

I made an error in my last post. I said that an architect can make the claim: "I design buildings." This is true up to a point. An architect designs a building within a set of limitations imposed by outside forces, that include client, money, codes and program.
