MBTA and the library
i was at the BPL recently and took some photos of the Copley T-Stop for those of you using the Parcel 13 site. its a little inspiration for your projects as you think of how to incorporate the existing/closed T-Stop into your designs.
This is quite "cute" actually, and in many projects in the studio there is the opportunity to be even more daring when connecting the public transportation with the library, which in this case seems to be a coincidental rather than planned from the beginning as such. Remember for example that in many of the stops of the subway in New York when you get off the train, there are signs connecting to directly to major buildings and sights (from the MET to... bloomingdales).
