New Design for SCL Development

To provide an update on our MassDebate articles opposing and "meh"-ing the proposed redevelopment of the Shreve, Crump & Low building, it seems that Back Bay residents have united in strong opposition to the proposed modernist design, prompting the Boston Redevelopment Authority to put the project on hold. Citizens say there's too much glass, not enough tribute to the way the building used to be, and nothing "Boston" about it. Developer Ronald Druker says "We have an obligation to do a contemporary building and not to do a cartoon of a Back Bay building from the 19th century... Office buildings require consistency, and that's what we're in the process of creating." Consistent with what, we ask--genericness?
