Kind of off topic but: > Mark Pasnik is a founding principal of the Boston-based design firm OverUnder and a professor of architecture at Wentworth Institute of Technology. If you go to the OverUnder website, the proposal to “revamp” the existing Boston City Hall is just an admonition that brutalism sucks and is miserable to be around. > The design creates vibrant counterpoints of light and liveliness to City Hall's monumental framework. It proposes a series of tactical modifications to the building's lowest and most public levels: clarifying way-finding; improving views, light, and sustainability; occupying abandoned spaces; and increasing the building's openness to the city. > Daylight from the atrium would stream downward into what is presently a dark hall. Light globes, colorful wall panels, and illuminated information screens would create an animated atmosphere. So, adding in all the things brutalism is not. Guys. Just tear the thing down. No amount of aesthetic improvements will make people like that place. http://overunder.co/work/architectural/Boston-City-Hall http://overunder.co/work/architectural/Boston-City-Hall
