Copley Square is so rich in history that the elevation becomes a major factor. This design primarily consists of a reflective glass curtain wall system. Brushed steel panels cover parts of this wall to create the desired filtration system. These panels are staggered, layered and juxtaposed all across the facade to filter various elements around the site. The reflective glass mimics the Hancock Towers use of the material. The reflection of the site appears on the face of the new building allowing it to blend into the existing neighborhood. Relationships between the four major buildings, the Old South Church, Boston Public Library, Trinity Church and the Hancock Tower, were all taken into consideration when looking at the scale and material.

Hi Annie,
I think your ideas are very innovative. I am a design student in the Boston area and I have also found inspiration for one of my projects in Copley Square. The unique pattern of the bark on the trees are particularly inspiring. Do you by any chance know the type of tree that is?
