Remember: A City's tallest highrise or notable highrise, would most likely be allowed, while the local Best Western will not. An innovative design like Foster's Swiss Re would be OK, but a slab like NYC'S AT&T Longlines Building would not...

This building is ugly and awkward when seen in a skyline shot or a wide pano shot. I agree, it's horrible. However, at street level this building is a wonder. The colour matches the two older blocks next to it perfectly, and the larger windows at the top make for an interesting perspective change. The overhangs are vertigo-inspiring from the street, and the window-washing machines drop down from the overhangs through trap doors. For a building of its period (late seventies/early eighties) this one is a gem. And, it's really nice on the inside too (unlike many of the buildings we admire from HK).

I care more about what a building is like when you exit the taxi or subway and walk up to it. How does it make you feel. I care much less about how it looks from a helicopter, boat, or distant suburban park...because people who use those things aren't going to use the building.

Look at Seattle or Houston: great skyline, but many of those buildings are disgusting up close. This Boston building turns that problem on its head: terrible from a distance, but great up close. Few Bostonians complain about this one, (and many local critics respect it) it just works.

facade matched to old Building infront that I guess is the post office
It all so not that bad and iconic of it time
Why it could do with some denisty around it to hide it a little still a great looking tower
