And the Winner (of the Dudley Designer Selection Charrette) Is...
Sasaki Associates was the top pick in the Ferdinand building or rather, "Dudley Square Municipal Office Facility" charrette. As the architectural community has known since mid - June, Chan Krieger NBBJ Ltd.took spot number two and new Roxbury Neighborhood Police Station designers Leers Weinzapfel came in third. None of this is official, of course, until the fat lady s.., er, City makes an announcement. It has been conducting its due diligence since June 13 when "A Request for Qualifications for
Owner's Project Manager Services (was) made available at the City of
Boston Public Facilities Dept. Bid Counter, " according to the BRA's development website. This means the City and Sasaki are determining whether or not they really are able and want to work together on this project.

Art Rox Roxbury
It's not too late to catch Roxbury Open Studios tomorrow from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Olde Town Trolley is running a FREE shuttle all through the neighborhood. The trolley runs up Huntington Ave with stops at Northeastern, the MFA, MassArt, and Brigham Circle. It cuts down Tremont to Roxbury Crossing, up Roxbury Street through Highland Park, over to Amory Street and Egleston Square, up School Street to Walnut, then Crawford and Quincy Streets and part of Blue Hill Ave., back to Warren and down through Dudley Square, across Northampton Street to the Piano Factory, the Mass. Ave T stop and more. In short, you can get a ride.
Derrick Z. Jackson (yes, that Derrick Z. Jackson) is showing photographs of nature and historical figures. Proceeds from his sales go to youth groups.
Here's a teensy sampling of some artists, their work, and some guests.
The following pictures are from last year's ROS but these artists are exhibiting this year, too.
