Boston’s ugliest buildings?
I saw this article in the Boston Globe magazine today about Boston’s modern architecture – such as City Hall, the JFK Federal Building, and the sprawling State Service Center. I love these buildings and have never understood why so many people, including Mayor Thomas Menino, think they are ugly. It seems many people agree with me. I like brutalist buildings because they stand out and give visual interest to the city – it would be boring for Boston to be filled with just old-fashioned brick buildings. City Hall Plaza is one of my favorite places in the world. It is dramatic and breathtaking in a way that no park or traditional brick building can match.
Here are some of my favorite pictures that I have taken of Boston’s modern buildings:
