With a few exceptions most of the Boston projects are very conservative designs. Having never been there I don't know much about the city's architectural culture, whether the designs are client-driven or a product of firms that don't have enough chutzpah. Given the presence of Harvard and MIT, both of which have really great architecture programs, it surprises me that the level of design in Boston isn't top caliber and cutting edge. Can anyone offer insight into this?
