Why is Glass Curtain Wall Container House Better?

Re: 101 Seaport Blvd (PwC) | Parcel L1@Seaport Sq. | Seaport

The glass wall on the JHT is different in that it is designed to stand out. 4 WTC melts into the sky. I love the JHT more but that has to do with the shape rather than the glass.

Van -- Cobb designed both the JHT and the Moakley's Sea Wall to mirror the surroundings and both do the job spectacularly

Of course both had help:

The Moakley Glass Sea Wall -- particularly from across the Fort Point Channel reflects the ever-changing harbor with its activities as a background with a foreground of the Court House Park. Unfortunately, its landside view from a pedestrian emerging from Court House Station on the Silver Line is worse than just mundane -- it just looks like a bunker. Some of that was the less than inspiring surroundings at the time of its design, but a lot of it is that there are a lot of internal, non-public Court House functions that don't want to be near to large windows and Cobb just put those on the landside of the building.

The JHT -- offers the best of all worlds as because of the the parallelogram floor plate, the setting of the building at an angle to the streets and the wide glass mirror of the neighborhood on the long sides. But even the short side view from Copley Square near to Trinity looking toward the church works well as the noted narrow mirror wall frames a reflected view of Richardson's incomparable masterpiece of Trinity. Other good views include:

• the Skywalk of the Pru where of course you can't see the Pru.
• Skywalk of the Pru at dusk catching the sunset and lights coming on
• from the plaza next to 500 Boylston looking toward Trinity where you can see the Old Hancock with the ever changing weather beacon reflected against the background of the sky's vicissitudes.
• Hancock 3 reflecting Hancock 2 and 1
• from the Public Garden nice views of the Back Bay and at certain angles you might see the reflection of the Old Hancock with the occasional championship pennant flying from its top.
• across the Charles in front of MIT-- with the seasons and the weather as a backdrop for the Back Bay neighborhood.

Since Cobb is involved in the Four Seasons Tower it will be interesting to see how he takes advantage of its neighborhood


PS: back to the original matter -- what about 601 Congress Street -- aka John Hanckock 4
