From YouTube: City Hall Plaza Renovation Plan Presentation
Description
The "Red Desert" of Boston will be changing as Chief of Operations Pat Brophy and Kate Tooke of Sasaki unveil plans for the redesign of City Hall Plaza. Sasaki is the design firm responsible for reinventing the space, which it seeks to make a more accessible and welcoming place for Bostonians.
A
A
Are
you?
My
name
is
Pat
Brophy
I
am
the
mayor's
chief
of
operations
and
what
that
basically
means
is
I'm
in
charge
of
three
departments.
Here:
inspectional
services,
the
property
management
department
in
the
public
facilities
department,
I'd
like
to
point
out
Commissioner
Joe
Callahan
right
over
here
from
the
property
management
department
and
director
Tricia
Lyons
from
the
public
facilities
department.
A
For
about
two
years,
we
went
on
a
listening
tour
and
an
analysis
of
how
this
building
works
and
how
the
plaza
operates
and
and
how
they
the
to
connect,
and
we
wanted
to
figure
out
a
way
in
which
we
could
make
this
building
a
lot
more
accessible,
a
lot
more
inviting
and
a
placemaking
spot
for
for
Bostonians
residents.
Visitors,
businesses
to
come
in
and
enjoy
this
space,
this
ample
seven
acre
space
that
we
see
outside
of
our
front
door.
A
A
A
We
think
that
this
is
very
important.
The
mayor
feels
that
this
is
very
important
to
engaging
community
members
engage,
asking
people
to
engage
with
their
government
and
figuring
out
ways
in
which
these
things
can
can
can
better
serve
Boston's
constituency.
So,
with
that,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Kate
took
from
Sasaki
who's,
gonna
walk
us
through
the
the
presentation.
I'd
asked
that
folks
maybe
make
notations
or
think
about
questions
that
we
could
ask
at
the
end,
because
we
want
to
kind
of.
A
B
Sorry
about
this,
not
quite
as
tall
as
you
have
there
we
go
excellent.
My
name
is
Kate
Duke
I
am
with
Sasaki.
We,
you
probably
have
seen
many
of
our
staff
throughout
the
plaza
today.
We're
here
in
abundance.
Sasaki
is
a
local
design
firm,
but
we
do
global
work,
so
we
are
based
here
in
Watertown,
but
we're
an
interdisciplinary
interdisciplinary
design
firm.
That
does
work
like
this
throughout
the
country
and
beyond.
So
we're
really
thrilled
to
be
working
here
in
our
own
backyard
and
to
bring
you
designs
for
the
plaza.
B
So
the
presentation
tonight
is
gonna
have
three
main
parts
and
then,
as
Pat
said
at
the
end,
we're
going
to
dismiss
to
an
open
house
where
you'll
have
a
chance
to
engage
with
us
as
a
design
team
and
with
the
city
to
ask
your
questions
and
to
give
your
feedback.
So
the
presentation
has
one
first
part
we're
going
to
share
about
the
project
background.
B
Think
it's
pretty
well
documented
the
history
of
this
building.
Within
this
space,
it's
a
brutalist
building.
It
has
a
tripartite
order,
which
means
it.
It
was
very
intentionally
designed
to
have
administrative
uses
at
the
top.
A
ceremonial
set
of
hoods
which
indicate
the
mayor
and
the
City
Council's
offices,
and
then
the
public
brick
mound,
which
you
actually
are
sitting
on
right
now,
was
really
meant
to
connect
the
city
to
its
public
government.
B
So
the
city's
brick
sidewalks
were
meant
to
be
a
carpet
which
came
through
the
city
and
connected
to
this
public
transactional
layer
of
the
building
and
then
continued
on
through
the
rest
of
the
city.
So
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
the
brick,
the
brick
Plaza
that
we're
all
familiar
with
today
has
its
roots
in
trying
to
be
a
democratic
carpet
which
connected
the
City
of
Boston
to
this
Democratic
space.
B
However,
you
feel
about
the
architecture
and
how
its
expressed
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
this
has
been
for
the
past
five
decades,
Boston's
most
important
place
to
gather
this
is
Boston's
Democratic
space,
it's
our
place
where
we
come
to
in
celebration
and
in
protest
in
order
to
to
gather,
and
it
serves
that
function
really
well
for
the
city
of
Boston,
but
at
the
same
time,
when
it's
not
activated
I
think
this
is
Boston's
place
that
we
sort
of
love
to
hate
as
Bostonians.
It
has
a.
B
It
has
a
sort
of
terrible
reputation
on
a
daily
basis
for
being
barren
and
windswept
the
red
Tundra.
It's
it's
not
a
super
friendly
place.
It
makes
you
feel
very
small,
and
it's
not
very
welcoming,
and-
and
it's
been
that
way
for
five
decades,
the
city
has
done
a
really
admirable
job,
invigorating
the
space
with
temporary
activations.
So
here
you
can
see
some
of
those
the
lawn,
the
Adirondack
chairs,
the
patios
beer
garden
temporary
play
installations
Boston
winter.
B
All
of
these
have
been
incredible
efforts
to
activate
the
space
on
on
sort
of
a
short-term
basis,
but
I
think
we
all
also
need
to
recognize
that
those
temporary
activations
only
get
us
so
far.
The
physical
limitations
of
this
space
are
real
and
they
are
intense
and
they
really
need
to
be
dealt
with
in
order
to
bring
this
space
into
the
21st
century.
These
include
accessibility,
as
Pat
mentioned,
but
also
significant
limitations
to
the
infrastructure
which
sits
underneath
this
Plaza.
B
B
B
This
is
Boston's
Gathering
Place
and
in
today's
political
climate,
it's
more
important
than
ever
that
Bostonians
have
a
place
to
gather
and
a
place
to
express
their
civic
voice,
and
the
second
piece
of
this
puzzle
is
that
those
physical
limitations
and
the
infrastructural
challenges
here
are
not
going
away
and
we
have
to
address
them
at
some
point.
It's
only
going
to
get
more
expensive
to
do
so,
so
the
time
is
now.
The
mayor
has
elected
the
time
to
be
now,
and
we
have
this
incredible
opportunity
to
renovate
this
space.
B
So
now
we
get
to
this
part
of
what
is
this?
What
is
this
renovation
actually
going
to
look
like
I
want
to
share
with
you
a
little
bit
about
our
process
to
date,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
sitting
on
the
foundation
of
a
really
incredible
and
visionary
master
plan,
rethink
City
Hall,
which
set
high-level
vision
and
values
for
the
next
30
years.
B
At
the
end
of
that
design
process,
you
can
see
that,
throughout
the
design
process,
there
have
been
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
the
public
and
stakeholders
to
give
their
feedback
and
their
input
into
the
process
below.
Here
are
just
some
of
the
many
voices
that
have
already
been
heard
through
the
masterplan
process
and
through
stakeholder
meetings
that
we,
as
a
design
team,
have
held,
and
we've
heard
a
number
of
really
common
themes.
The
voices
are
sort
of
unified
and
what
they
tell
us
about
the
plaza.
B
What
the
public
wants
places
to
gather
places
to
be
on
a
daily
basis,
better
accessibility,
better
opportunity
to
host
events,
no
matter
where
you're
coming
from
in
the
city
and
we
as
a
design
team,
have
taken
all
that
input
and
distilled
it
into
four
pillars
of
the
design
which
we're
going
to
talk
to
you
about
today.
So
really,
the
idea
here
is
that
as
an
overarching
goal,
we
as
a
team,
we
as
the
public
City
of
Boston,
want
to
reinvigorate
the
Civic
heart
of
Boston,
the
plaza.
B
This
is
our
place
and
there
are
four
pillars
that
are
going
to
help
us
get
there.
So
these
are
a
welcoming
front
yard
for
civic
life.
I
should
probably
say
a
welcoming
front
yard
if
I'm
in
Boston,
but
a
welcoming
front
yard
for
civic
life
is
really
about,
is
really
about
your
daily
activation
and
daily
use.
It's
about
access.
It's
about
comfort,
it's
about
amenities
that
you
want
to
use
on
a
daily
basis.
A
flexible
and
accommodating
event.
Venue
is
capturing
all
those
great
ideas.
B
Overlaid
on
top
of
that
are
a
number
of
specific
program
elements
which
both
the
city,
the
master
plan
and
stakeholder
process
have
defined
and
I
won't
go
through.
All
of
these
you'll
have
a
chance
to
engage
with
a
lot
of
these
topics
more
deeply
and
in
the
open
house
portion,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
two
particular
things.
B
One
is
that,
over
here
on
the
right-hand
side,
accessibility
is
an
incredibly
important
driver
of
this
project,
ensuring
that
there
are
accessible
connections,
universally
accessible
connections
between
all
streets
and
all
parts
of
the
plaza
and
the
main
access
points
to
the
building,
and
second
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
idea
of
event
space
right
now.
The
plaza
can
host
about
40,000
people
across
its
entire
BRIC
area
and
the
the
city's
idea
really
is
that
we
need
to
right-size
that
space
so
bring
that
bring
the
scale
of
that
space
down.
B
B
So
here
is
the
full
concept
I'm
going
to
take
a
moment
to
just
walk
you
through
this
I
think
for
those
who
aren't
as
oriented
reading
plans
I
think
it's
important
to
realize
that
Fanueil
Hall
is
here
and
the
MBTA
is
here.
These
are
those
big
stairs
that
you're
used
to
going
up
and
City
Hall
is
in
the
center
there.
B
So
a
new
North
entry
in
court
terraces
to
hang
out
with,
on
a
daily
basis,
a
right
sized
event
area
flexibly
able
to
host
ten
to
twelve
thousand
people
or
farmers
markets
or
Boston
winter,
an
upper
plaza
which
has
a
shaded,
a
shaded
covering
which
can
serve
as
a
stage
but
can
also
be
a
smaller
event.
Space
with
City
Hall.
As
a
backdrop,
multiple
terrace
is
to
hang
out
on
a
daily
basis.
B
A
new
Fanueil
Faneuil
promenade,
which
excessively
brings
people
from
the
main
plaza
down
to
the
top
of
the
stairs
on
the
Washington
Mall
area
and
accessibility
upgrades
at
the
main
entry
which
we'll
talk
through.
So
that's
the
full
concept.
The
city
has
elected
to
invest,
first
and
phase.
One
of
that
and
I
think
it's
important
to
see
right
here
that
the
city
has
prioritized
a
number
of
elements
very
highly.
B
First
in
phase
one
we're
going
to
get
all
of
the
activity
and
programming
and
accessible
connections
along
the
north
side,
of
the
plaza
we're
going
to
invest
immediately
in
all
of
the
infrastructural
upgrades
necessary
to
host
great
events
on
the
plaza,
a
diversity
of
great
events
and
we're
gonna,
invest
immediately
in
accessibility
upgrades
to
ensure
that
all
people
can
arrive
at
the
main
entrance
of
City
Hall,
excessively,
no
matter
how
what
what
mode
of
transportation
they
use.
So
a
new
accessible
entrance,
as
well
as
a
new
accessible
route.
B
Up
to
the
fourth
floor,
courtyard,
which
is
behind
you
in
many
ways
it's
one
of
the
most
magical
parts
of
this
building
and
we
believe
that
it
should
be
opened
up
again
to
the
public
use
so
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
series
of
kind
of
what
this
looks
like
now
so
comparisons
of
before
and
after
so
this
is
the
aerial
view
if
you're
flying
if
you're
flying
like
a
bird
over
one
Center
Plaza.
This
is
the
view
of
the
plaza.
B
You
currently
have
contrast
that,
with
the
new
vision,
you'll
see
immediately
that
we're
adding
a
lot
of
trees,
so
the
this
plaza
is
significantly
greener
than
it
once
was.
That
is
also
included,
including
additional
green
infrastructure,
like
stormwater
benefits
on
that
storm
water
is
being
infiltrated
and
we're
demonstrating
how
that's
working
to
the
public.
You
can
also
see
that
the
main
plaza
area
which
here
is
showing
a
farmers
market
has
been
right
sized.
So
it's
no
longer
a
vast
space.
B
So
this
diagram
just
really
shows
in
blue
arrows
all
of
the
accessible
routes
into
the
plaza.
So
right
now,
if
you
come
to
the
Plaza
on
any
corner,
you're
blocked
by
stairs,
and
so
this
is
a
dramatic
transformation
of
accessibility.
You
use
a
wheelchair
or
a
friend
uses
a
wheelchair.
You
can
now
arrive
to
the
plaza
and
all
its
spaces
the
same
way
that
everyone
else
does.
So
it's
really
a
welcoming
space
for
all
Bostonians
in
the
darker
orange.
B
B
This
is
what
we
call
the
Hanover
promenade,
which
brings
you
on
a
sloped
walkway
all
the
way
up
to
the
main
plaza
you
pass
by
a
newly
opened
north
entrance
on
the
way
that
sculpture
is
a
piece
of
public
art
which
would
guide
you
to
that
north
entrance.
On
the
right-hand
side.
You
see
that
there's
welcoming
signage,
which
cues
you
in
to
where
you're
arriving
to,
as
well
as
a
play
scape,
which
is
built
into
the
hill
and
the
grade
change
between
the
high
up
Terrace
above
and
Congress
Street.
B
This
is
a
view
currently
again
of
those
steps,
you're
looking
back
towards
Boston
Public
Market,
some
of
you
may
have
come
out
and
the
virtual
reality
stations
on
the
plaza
with
us
just
now
and
gotten
a
sense
of
what
this
view
looks
like,
but
the
future
of
you
there
instead
of
those
granite
steps
which
are
not
activated,
is
a
play.
Scape
you'll
notice
immediately
that
this
isn't
your
average
playground.
B
That
is
really
unlike
any
other
turning
around
from
that
view,
so
just
turning
180
degrees.
This
is
the
current
north
entrance,
as
I
mentioned.
It's
been
closed
since
2000
since
9/11,
because
of
the
the
need
to
provide
security
screening
and
the
the
small
size
of
the
lobby
down
there.
So
the
the
design
is
actually
going
to
pull
the
glass
facade,
which
is
set
way
back
in
this
picture
out
towards
us
to
enable
room
for
that
security
screening
station.
B
So,
looking
at
this
diagram,
you
can
see
that
there's
one
large
gathering
space
I've
mentioned
that
that's
been
right
size
to
accommodate
about
10,
to
12,000
people
in
a
crowd,
but
it
can
also
support
the
kinds
of
events
that
Boston
is
used
to
Boston
winter
and
the
skating
rink
are
kind
of
ghosted
in
there
you
can
see
how
that
would
still
fit
hub
week.
Farmers
markets,
scooper
Bowl,
which
is
out
there
today.
Those
kinds
of
events
would
still
fit
in
this.
In
this
space
you
can
see.
B
There's
also
that
upper
plaza,
which
can
be
an
event
space
in
its
own
or
can
be
a
stage
and
backstage
for
a
large
event
on
the
plaza
and
then
there
are
two
additional
smaller
event
spaces,
one
outdoor
and
one
indoor
that
also
support
Plaza
events
in
the
pluses.
Those
are
all
places
for
plug
and
play
infrastructure.
B
So
these
are
places
where
all
the
sudden
it's
easy
to
host
an
event
on
the
plaza
because
you
can
come
and
the
infrastructure
you
need
the
power,
the
water,
the
the
data
is
all
right
there
for
you,
so
it
makes
it
easier
for
the
city
to
manage
events
and
for
people
to
host
events
here
so
looking
out
across
the
main
plaza.
We
know
this
today
is
a
really
big
and
bleak
expanse.
The
future
vision.
This
is
an
idea
of
what
this
could
look
like
in
the
winter.
B
You
can
see
the
main
plaza
can
still
host
Boston
winter
and
the
same
kinds
of
events
that
were
used
to
today.
The
upper
plaza
sits
above
that
main
plaza,
so
it
serves
as
a
stage
for
large
types
of
events.
You
can
catch
a
glimpse
of
that
stage
covering
there,
which
again
can
double
as
a
small
event
space
as
well
you're,
viewing
the
plaza
from
a
new
terrace.
B
I
think
just
valuable
to
note
that
beneath
this
plaza,
especially
the
main
part
of
the
plaza
sits
a
really
complex
network
of
train
tunnels,
some
of
the
oldest
tunnels
in
the
country
and
part
of
these
renovations
will
be
to
shore
up
the
structural
needs
of
those
tunnels
to
ensure
that
the
plaza
can
flexibly
host
a
wide
variety
of
events.
Currently,
the
ability
of
where
you
can
put
a
truck
and
where
you
can
put
certain
heavy
program,
really
limits
what's
possible
on
this
plaza.
B
So
this
will
open
up
a
lot
more
flexibility
by
attending
to
the
structural
needs
below
grade.
So,
coming
down
back
to
Congress
Street,
we
previously
looked
up
into
the
plaza
we're
now
pivoted
a
little
bit
right
here
is
an
existing
vent
structure
for
the
MBTA,
and
that
is
a
is
a
structure
that
needs
to
stay.
It's
a
really
large
presence
on
Congress
Street
and,
along
this
stretch
of
Congress
Street,
there's
currently
no
program.
There
are
no
storefronts
there's
nothing
really!
B
That
draws
you
across
the
street
from
the
Boston
Public
Market,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
engage
that
space
with
a
new
civic
building.
This
is
a
building
that
would
provide
resources
and
amenities
to
the
plaza
restrooms
and
mechanical
space,
that's
necessary
for
the
plaza,
but
also
would
have
a
large
open,
flexible
space
that
becomes
a
new
civic
outpost
on
the
plaza.
So
the
idea
here
is
that
you
could
host
a
meeting
like
this
in
that
building
in
the
future.
Where
folks
could
see
it
pass
by
be
interested,
it
could
also
be
a
gallery
space.
B
It
could
be
a
space
where
you
could
pay
your
parking
tickets
without
having
to
go
into
the
heart
of
the
building
coming
around
to
the
front
of
the
building.
Now
this
is
the
entrance
you
all
just
came
in,
so
you
know
that
you
had
to
climb
up
about
seven
steps
right
before
you
got
to
that
entry.
It's
an
inaccessible
main
entry
and
the
route
for
people
who
use
wheelchairs
or
other
modes
of
transportation
is
circuitous
and
not
the
not
the
entry
that
everyone
takes.
B
In
addition,
the
route
to
this
main
space,
the
courtyard
is
inaccessible
currently,
and
the
idea
is
that
that's
one
of
the
most
magical
spaces
of
this
building
and
really
needs
to
be
opened
up
to
the
public
again,
as
was
the
original
intention.
So
the
the
modifications
again
are
very
subtle.
There's
a
new
accessible
route
which
brings
you
right
into
the
main
entrance,
there's
a
new
accessible
route
which
brings
you
up
to
that
fourth
floor,
terrace
and
courtyard
and
then
built
into
the
built
into
the
ramp.
B
There
is
a
new
speaker's
corner
for
the
mayor,
so
when
the
mayor
needs
to
make
important
city
announcements,
he
has
a
prominent
space
at
the
front
of
city
hall
in
order
to
make
those
announcements
and
address
the
public
and
there's
a
lot
of
flexible
space
out
front
of
that.
For
varying
sizes
of
crowds,
so
Boston's
model
and
sustainability
is
really
about
ensuring
that
we
have
a
porous
Plaza
that
can
absorb
rainwater.
B
We
have
a
shady
Plaza,
which
provides
comfort
to
people
and
also
mitigates
urban
heat
island
effect,
and
we
have
an
efficient
Plaza
in
terms
of
lighting
and
infrastructure
and
power
needs.
So
this
diagram
really
just
shows
that
we're
planting
over
a
hundred
trees
on
this
Plaza.
The
idea
is
to
really
provide
shade
to
provide
human
comfort.
There
are
also
in
blue.
These
arrows
show
how
storm
water
is
going
to
be
channeled
in
a
way,
that's
visible
to
the
public
and
educates
about
how
to
channel
storm
water
infiltrate
it
it's
being
infiltrated
where
the
trees
are.
B
So
here's
a
view
in
the
main
plaza
now
you're
standing
in
the
main,
plaza
looking
down
towards
Congress
Street,
and
the
future
of
that
view
is
dramatically
different.
No
longer
are
there
steps
that
separate
you
from
Congress,
Street
and
really
bump
down
in
terraces,
but
instead
there's
that
one
accessible
route,
the
Hanover
promenade,
which
connects
you
from
the
main
plaza
directly
down
to
Congress
Street.
B
So
everyone
takes
that
universally
accessible
promenade
on
your
left
is
a
water
wall
and
that
water
wall
is
recycled
granite
from
the
original
stair
treads
of
the
proud
of
the
plaza
and
becomes
a
cooling
feature
in
the
summer
and
an
active
edge
that
can
be
lit
at
night
and
really
become
a
public
amenity
on
the
right
hand,
side
you'll,
see
terraces.
We
call
these
the
Arts
and
Culture
terraces.
That
might
be
programmed
with
all
kinds
of
rotating
public
art
events.
B
B
Finally,
a
renewed
cultural
and
architectural
legacy
is
really
about
ensuring
that
we
honor
the
bones
and
the
structure
of
this
original
design.
This
building
is
landmarked.
The
plaza
has
a
lot
of
prominent
views
of
the
building
and
also
a
structure
of
its
own.
As
a
design
team,
we've
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
understanding
what
that
structure
is.
So
this
is
a
plan
view
of
the
plaza
everywhere.
You
see
the
dark
blue.
Those
are
granite,
bands
of
stairs
and
everywhere
you
see
the
lighter
blue
lines.
B
Those
are
those
are
brick
jointing
patterns,
and
you
can
see
that
the
structure
is
really
clear
in
this
original
design.
The
original
architects
had
an
idea
about
Siena
Italy
and
the
Piazza's
Ocampo,
which
had
this
radial
pattern.
You
can
see
the
way
that
expressed
itself
in
both
the
jointing
and
the
fanning
of
the
steps,
and
you
can
see
that
they
they
had
a
different
idea
about
the
south
side
of
the
plaza
that
was
a
little
more
referential
to
the
building.
B
B
It
preserves
that
Fanning
pattern
in
both
paving
and
in
granite
bands,
and
then
it's
a
little
bit
more
flexible
around
the
edges
of
the
plaza
where
it
meets
the
city
and
again
that's
what
working
with
preservation
is.
We've
just
we've
determined
that
those
areas
outer
are
much
more
tolerant
to
change.
B
So
you
can
see
I
think
that
the
the
historic
preservation
piece
has
been
embedded
into
every
different
piece
of
this
design.
Thinking
about
preserving
those
views,
especially
of
that
important
West,
facade
of
the
building
honoring,
the
banding
patterns
that
were
original
to
the
plaza,
but
diversifying
them
so
they're
now
paving
bands,
their
water
runs
their
pathways
their
benches.
But
there's
still
an
expression
of
granite
that
runs
through
a
brick,
Plaza
recycling
materials
and
ensuring
that
we're
honoring,
the
original
intent
of
that
materiality,
while
also
updating
it
for
accessibility
and
respecting
the
architecture.
B
So
we're
we're
intervening
with
the
building
itself
were
doing
that
respectfully
and
in
keeping
with
the
original
design.
So
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
reinvigorating
the
Civic
heart
of
Boston.
What
we've
done
is:
we've
talked
about
each
of
these
categories
and
these
pillars
of
the
design
and
share
it
a
little
bit
I'm
sort
of
a
high-level
touch
on
how
the
design
achieves
each
of
those
pillars
and
really
supports
a
reinvigorated
civic
heart
of
Boston.
B
The
idea
here
is
that
we're
strategically
intervening
to
ensure
that
this
place
for
the
next
50
years
can
be
the
Civic
heart
of
Boston
can
be
where
Boston
convenes,
on
both
a
daily
basis
and
for
large
events
and
can
be
a
place.
That's
welcomes
and
includes
all
Bostonians,
so
we've
shared
this
vision
with
you.
B
What
we're
going
to
do
next.
This
was
a
really
high-level
sort
of
quick
opportunity
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
and
we
are
now
really
excited
to
hear
your
opinions
and
your
thoughts
about
the
plaza
and
we're
gonna
do
that
by
switching
to
an
open
house
format
and
here's
here's
how
the
open
house
is
going
to
work
ready.
This
is
a
quick
how-to
I
used
to
be
a
teacher
in
Dorchester,
so
you
can
get
a
little
sense
of
like
teaching
right
now
so
step
one.
B
You
should
have
gotten
a
passport
as
you
walked
into
this
meeting.
You
can
hold
up
your
passport
if
you
have
won
that
passport
is
filled
with
comment
cards
in
each
of
the
four
categories
and
the
four
pillars
of
design
that
you've
just
heard
about.
So
what
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
do
is
to
think
a
little
bit
about
those
categories
and
fill
out
your
comment
cards
at
stations.
So
in
a
moment
we're
going
to
dismiss
from
this
space
and
you're
gonna
walk
down
the
stairs
and
out
on
the
front
porch
of
this
building.
B
Those
four
stations
have
been
set
up,
so
we're
gonna
invite
you
to
visit
each
of
those
four
stations.
Each
of
those
stations
is
going
to
be
staffed
by
design
team
members
who
have
sasaki
t-shirts
on
as
well
as
city
staff
members,
so
you'll
be
able
to
tell
us
your
comments.
One
on
one
ask
your
questions
and
also
fill
out
your
comment
card
and
leave
it
at
that
station.
Tell
us
what
you
like
and
tell
us
what
you
still
wish
or
wonder
could
be
included
in
the
design.
B
If
you
do
that,
if
you,
if
you
complete
your
whole
passport,
you
get
a
stamp
every
time.
You
can
give
us
one
of
your
comment
cards.
Then
you
get
a
prize,
so
we're
incentivizing
you
with
something
really
fun
to
take
home,
and
we
invite
you
to
make
sure
that
you
get
all
those
stamps
on
your
passport.
Talk
to
people
at
all.
The
stations
provide
us
with
your
comment
cards
and
then
you
get
to
take
home
a
fun
prize.
As
a
memory
of
this
evening.
B
We
also
view
you
now
that
you've
learned
a
little
bit
about
the
project
as
a
ambassadors
of
the
project.
Right
so
so
we're
gonna
give
you
a
job
when
you
leave
this
place
tonight
and
that
job
is
going
to
be
to
share
much
more
widely
with
with
the
rest
of
the
community.
What
you
know
about
the
plaza,
what
you're
excited
about
and
tell
them
how
they
themselves
can
also
provide
feedback.
B
So
all
the
information
that
you've
just
heard
and
that
you'll
interact
with
tonight
is
also
online
and
there
is
also
a
way
to
provide
feedback
online
at
Boston,
gov,
City
Hall
plaza.
So
anyone
who
you
know
that
missed
the
meeting
and
wants
to
engage
with
the
information
should
should
be
invited
to
experience
that
website
as
well.
So
Pat,
do
you
have
any
final
comments
before
we
dismiss
and
we
go
down
to
the
open
house
portion
of
the
event.
