Architectural Back-Talk!
The message boards over at Boston.com are humming with feedback about the tragic idea to make city Hall a landmark. You can see all of the posts here.
Some of my favorite comments so far:
"Boston City Hall manages to be ugly, shabby, and completely dysfunctional all at the same time."
"Even by the dubious aesthetic standards of modern architechture, City Hall is a hideous monstrosity, an enormous eyesore at the center of a largermistake in urban planning, namely the entire plaza on which the building in question rests."
"The fact that this building was designed by a well known architect cannot serve as a reason for its protection, even David Ortiz strikes out once in a while."
"City Hall Plaza is an utter embarrassment to the concept of architectural design. The building is acutally demoralizing to the spirit of Boston."
Keep 'em coming people... and remember to forward to your comments to the Boston Landmarks Commission and your City Councilor (if you're a Boston resident).
