Boston Riverfront by Kayak

Boston Riverfront by Kayak

This project explores the character of the Boston riverfront through a look into the history of select rivefront buildings and their architecture. A photographic survey was conducted via kayak from Beacon Hill through Allston, from these images the luxury condominium building 180 Beacon Street, Boston University’s 725 Commonwealth Avenue, Genzyzme’s Allston Landing manufacturing plant, and Harvard Business School’s Tata Hall were selected for further discussion. These buildings are all relatively recent (<100 years) additions to the Boston skyline, and each tell an interesting story about what was, and what could have been in their place.
