Standing 43 floors tall with nearly 1 million sq. ft. of office space, One Congress is part of the Bulfinch Triangle redevelopment in the heart of Boston. This complex, multiphase regeneration project aims to replace the Government Center Garage with a mixed-use live-work-play development catered to modern needs.
Join us to review the urban-planning aspects of the development and the exterior massing and facade design of the tower before turning toward the interior spaces and impressive building amenities. Discover how this ambitious project transformed the area, how the massing and facade respond to environmental factors, and much more.
Learning Objectives
- Consider how a project can deploy specific architectural massing and facade strategies that respond responsibly to a building's urban location at the scale of the city, street, and site.
- Find out how a project can reimagine the existing urban condition, connect adjacent neighborhoods, and provide a catalyst for renewed urban growth.
- Discuss challenges that the design team faced and overcame to create a rare urban respite in the form of a rooftop garden.
