Scenes from a recent trip to Boston by one of our team members:
In a city with a long history, you get interesting juxtapositions of old and new buildings. The first image is a modern glass atrium to connect two existing buildings on Tuft's campus. The second image is colonial Faneuil Hall, the brutalist City Hall, and a modern glass Sephora. In addition to contrasts due to development over time, the city is full of buildings with incredible detail: restrained deco/modern details of Cram's Post Office, brick and cast iron of early skyscrapers, so many intricate entryways, relief-carved intrados, rusticated quoins, and amazing stone and copper cornices.
