In 1962, Boston was in trouble. Residents, manufacturers, and businesses were fleeing the city, leaving behind acres of empty lots and boarded-up buildings. Residents needed a \u201cnew Boston,\u201d and that year the city launched a rare open design competition in search of a new city hall that would symbolize\u2014and help achieve\u2014this rebirth.<\/p>\n

The two-stage, anonymous competition drew 256 entries, but in the end, the jury unanimously chose a bold, cutting-edge, and controversial design that was the work of \u201cthree young architects, two of them foreigners.\u201d This concrete, Brutalist structure would become, David Dillon wrote, \u201cone of the most remarkable debuts in American architectural history\u201d and \u201carguably the great building of twentieth-century Boston,\u201d according to Douglass Shand-Tucci\u2019s definitive history, Built in Boston<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Forty-eight pen and pencil drawings by the winning team\u2014comprising Gerhard Kallmann, Michael McKinnell, and Edward Knowles\u2014are currently on view at the Boston Society of Architects\u2019 BSA Space<\/a> through November 17. The drawings, ranging from small sketches on yellow tracing paper to oversized renderings on mylar, demonstrate the proposed building\u2019s internal organization as well as its response to the site, including specific historic structures. Although its acknowledgement of the past may surprise some\u2014given the widespread demolitions called for by the Government Center master plan, as well as the architects\u2019 own avant-garde proposal\u2014the concept sketches here depict the new building aligned with Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, creating a juxtaposition of structures from three centuries. Both the popular and professional press featured such drawings from the competition, including a 16-page spread in the Yale Architectural Journal\u2019s Perspecta 9\/10<\/i>, edited by then-graduate student Robert A. M. Stern.<\/p>\n

Kallmann\u2019s distinctive section-perspective drawing technique seen here allowed the simultaneous exploration of both interior spaces and building systems. His study of the City Council chamber floating above the plaza entry depicts the architects\u2019 creative re-interpretation of the typology of city halls, in which civic meeting rooms were traditionally located above open ground floors (familiar from European antecedents, and from Faneuil Hall as well). By expressing the form of the Council chamber outside and also from below, this drawing also suggests the architects\u2019 belief that a civic structure should expose the primary spaces of government, instead of concealing them inside an unarticulated building mass.<\/p>\n

McKinnell\u2019s large perspective drawings chart the evolving appearance of City Hall\u2019s exterior, influenced by both the groundbreaking work of Le Corbusier and classical architectural precedents. The design of City Hall\u2019s upper floors, lofted above tall concrete piers, evokes the massing of Le Corbusier\u2019s La Tourette and, at the same time, ancient ruins. Closer to home, its repetitive concrete frames echo the trabeated granite structure of Alexander Parris\u2019 Greek Revival Quincy Market a few hundred yards away.<\/p>\n

The drawings for the plaza-level floor plan demonstrate the building\u2019s proposed openness, unusual for a seat of government, with an array of columns in place of solid walls. (Today, haphazardly placed \u201ctemporary\u201d barricades compromise this unique attribute\u2014inelegant reactions to 9\/11 that still await creative redesign.) The drawings reveal a floor plan intended to welcome pedestrians to this public structure, despite the perhaps less inviting impression that the building\u2019s concrete surfaces would ultimately present for some observers.<\/p>\n

Often it is City Hall\u2019s Brutalist concrete material that attracts attention today. Some celebrate it, as part of the revival of interest in mid-century architecture and the widely heralded restoration of similar landmarks such as Paul Rudolph\u2019s Yale Art and Architecture Building\u2014promoted by both the late Ada Louise Huxtable and the Boston Globe<\/i>\u2019s editorial page as an example for Boston to emulate. Others bemoan the concrete, in combination with the effects of decades of deferred maintenance, and, especially, the unbroken expanse of City Hall\u2019s brick plaza (although this is currently being redesigned to introduce significant new landscaping and trees).<\/p>\n

In reviewing the subsequent career of Kallmann McKinnell and Wood\u2014the firm that these competition drawings launched into being\u2014historians have compared their influence in Boston to that of Charles Bulfinch, H. H. Richardson, and Charles McKim. The office would go on to design buildings from the Student Center at the University of Massachusetts on Boston\u2019s Columbia Point to the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse in Cleveland, from New Jersey\u2019s Becton Dickinson Headquarters to the University of Kentucky\u2019s Young Library, from the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok to the headquarters of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the Hague (the just-announced Nobel Peace Prize recipient).<\/p>\n

Design ideas that first appear in this exhibit\u2019s drawings for City Hall resurface in the architects\u2019 later works: the Hynes Convention Center\u2019s attention to its historic setting in Back Bay Boston, the open plan of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Cambridge, the Stokes Courthouse\u2019s shaping in response to its urban waterfront site, the expression of incompletion in the fragmented forms of the Arrow International Headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania. These examples of what McKinnell has called the \u201cancient craft of architectural drawing\u201d encourage such examination, and also confirm Peter Eisenman\u2019s observation that \u201cIf modern architecture lives in America, it lives in the minds, the hearts, the eyes and the hands [of Kallmann and McKinnell].\u201d<\/p>\n

These drawings depict the gestation of a unique building during an era of optimism and hope; husbanding that structure for the future is the task of the present. As with other public buildings of its era, Boston City Hall today needs attention to lighting, signage, HVAC systems, finishes, and furnishings, along with basic maintenance (window cleaning!) and, more dramatically, sustainably oriented \u201cgreening.\u201d As for those who call for the demolition of City Hall in favor of high-rise towers on its site, the blunt comments of Professor Emeritus Eduard F. Sekler of Harvard merit consideration. In a letter to the Boston Landmarks Commission, he supported Boston City Hall \u201cas a most important Landmark,\u201d and wrote, \u201cwhether it is considered beautiful and liked at a given moment is irrelevant since taste changes from generation to generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston City Hall Drawings<\/a> run through November 15 at the Boston Society of Architects\u2019 BSA Space Gallery, in Boston, Massachusetts.<\/i><\/p>\n
