So sorry to sharply dissagree with your assessment of this concrete bunker mess and its "playful" shadows and all as the sun passes across its HEINOUS facade through the day. Well, heinous rhymes with ANUS, and this City Hall is a a pile of architectural excrement NOT WORTH saving - the exterior is a chop-a-block mass of Brutalist SHIT and the interior of the building is a dark, dank, oppressive, noisy, waste of space that CANNOT BE renovated - the tales I hear about some wanting to make this building "GREEN" are SO LAUGHABLE. This EYESORE 1962-designed, "DESIGN CONTEST AWARD WINNING" (WHAT AN F-ING JOKE!!!!) concrete monster and the desert it sits upon MUST BE DESTROYED to make way for a COMPLETELY NEW CITY HALL building - I will agree with those stating a preference for keeping City Hall SOMEWHERE within the confines of its existing Plaza...but preserve this architectural pile of concrete puke??? - I DON'T THINK SO!!!! And the same goes for the HURLEY PILE OF PUKE, THE CHEERY AND WARM LINDEMANN MENTAL HEALTH CENTER PILE OF PUKE - TEAR THE WHOLE MISTAKE DOWN. Brutalist Architecture is garbage, through and through. By the way, you ARE in the minority with regards to this issue just to let you know- most people HATE City Hall and the Plaza and want it gone....eventually City Hall and the Great City Hall Plaza Wasteland WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY ALTERED.....the sad thing is that it probably won't happen for many years to come.....Menino is probably all talk on this issue, but I would like to spearhead a group to tear down Government Center and start anew.
