Tuesday’s blizzard, winter storm Juno, hit the Boston area hard and we took the opportunity to compile some of our storm photos as a tribute to the AIA’s #ilookup campaign and the winter weather. From using a macro lens to capture individual snowflakes to the beach in Winthrop, the photos ran the gamut of locations and details. When we look around, sometimes we’re confronted with a winter wonderland and the prospect of shoveling for hours.
And a few photos taken yesterday (Wednesday, Jan. 27) …

Along the waterfront by our office building. Normally we can see the Boston Tea Party Museum from this vantage point.
In contrast, one colleague’s family home on Nantucket, with winds over 75 mph, that’s quite a drift!

This year’s studio identifies seven sites along the frayed edges of Boston’s Greenway. The Greenway is a one-mile-long linear park running through the heart of the city, reconnecting downtown Boston with its waterfront. Many of the parcels along its edges remain undeveloped and present mute, blank facades to the public realm. Addressing and repairing these edges through acts of infilling, layering, grafting, framing, and placemaking is the core focus of the studio—SUTURE.
