Book excerpt: From the 1950s to the end of the twentieth century, Boston transformed from a city in freefall into a thriving metropolis, as modern glass skyscrapers sprouted up in the midst of iconic brick rowhouses. After decades of corruption and graft, a new generation of politicians swept into office, seeking to revitalize Boston through large-scale urban renewal projects. The most important of these was a new city hall, which they hoped would project a bold vision of civic participation. The massive Brutalist building that was unveiled in 1962 stands apart -- emblematic of the city's rebirth through avant-garde design. And yet Boston City Hall frequently ranks among the country's ugliest buildings. Concrete Changes seeks to answer a common question for contemporary viewers: How did this happen? In a lively narrative filled with big personalities and newspaper accounts, Brian M. Sirman argues that this structure is more than a symbol of Boston's modernization; it acted as a catalyst for political, social, and economic change.

Download or read book Reclaiming City Hall Plaza, Boston, Massachusetts written by Melanie Teresa Smith and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City Hall Plaza is an iconic landmark for the city of Boston, Massachusetts and marks the center of the city both physically and symbolically. The plaza is primarily a hub for movement to other areas of the city and rarely a destination in itself. Many plans have been developed to redesign the plaza, but little has actually been implemented due to funding and politics. The importance of City Hall and the potential it has for remaking the city qualifies this project and its importance for reclaiming lost space. An intervention that will reinstate the historic fabric of the city and reveal the historical traces of the site and city as a larger whole will help link the city to its history on many levels and bring new life to the desolate plaza. The city of Boston does not have a specific institution dedicated to the city and its history. Many city museums today encompass much broader elements in addition to the typical exhibition spaces of history museums. The Boston History museum will be dedicated to connecting visitors to the city as well as reconnecting Bostonians to its history, present, and future. The new museum will engage the public in new ways to become a more active and visible part of the city and be more readily accessible to both visitors and Bostonians.

Book excerpt: In Autumn, 1994, the City of Boston, in partnership with the Boston Society of Architects and the Building Owners and Managers Association, sponsored the Revitalizing City Hall Plaza Ideas Competition. The Competition sought ideas from design professionals and lay people for ways to popularize and invigorate City Hall Plaza. The program espoused by Mayor Menino was simple: "We must create an atmosphere that will more easily link the public to an open and accessible City Hall, and provide a meeting place for Boston's diverse community." This Competition represents two aspects of thought regarding public space; one specific and one general. Specifically, the effort to revitalize City Hall Plaza is consistent with long-standing desires to create or retain a high level of activity and stability in the Government Center vicinity. In focusing attention on the condition of the existing Plaza, this Competition continues a tradition of seeking a strong anchor for downtown Boston, maintaining an urban vitality and richness, and creating an image bespeaking Boston's regional and national prominence. Generally, the Competition created avenues for discussions of the nature and role of public space. From 190 Competition entries it is possible to determine categories that reflect two different approaches to the design and consideration of public space. One is the Morphological approach, in which considerations of the physical form of the space and the urban fabric are primary. The other is the Programmatic approach, which stresses activities and programmed attractions independently of physical form. Using these entries and categories as data, a comparison of the categories is made which suggests that the Morphological approach is more appropriate for effecting long-term legibility and structure to a city. However, the salient characteristics of the Programmatic cannot be overlooked, especially in a modern economy. Therefore, it is ultimately concluded that the vitality of a city is best served when the immediacy of the Programmatic is appropriately housed in the permanence of the Morphological. To achieve this is to retain a vision of purposes for cities and their spaces beyond mere functionality, which speaks to the aspirations for community and humanness that have historically informed the creation of public space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2017 the City identified a $60 million capital investment in City Hall and the Plaza over the next 5 years, which will be combined with revenue from the sale of Hawkins St, funding from Boston Water and Sewer Commission, and any additional funding from partners, for a total Phase 1 budget starting at roughly $90 million. The Phase 1 implementation scope has prioritized critical and time sensitive repairs along with public space and service improvements on the Plaza with a majority of budget going towards required repairs. Improvements will focus on improving accessibility and infrastructure on the Plaza, and improving service in the public areas on the 2nd floor. The team recommends pursing the Phase 1 implementation project as one project in which construction is phased, to maintain use of part of the Plaza, and either the Plaza entrance or North entrance, at all times." -- from summary
