ruminations about architecture and design

what dreams and what remains
The Boston Globe had an interesting article recently about the efforts that were made in the 1960's to bring an International Exposition to the city for the celebration of the bicentennial. It never happened, and the renderings that accompanied the article demonstrate how fanciful the idea was. One of the architects who participated in the project remarked that the design team worked around the clock in complete isolation.
Boston 2024 feels marginally more plausible. Towers of ilium wonders how the real estate acquisition process is going.
Meanwhile, the Wynn casino in Everett has hit a few development snags, but no news has come to light that promises its disintegration.
