...requirements of corporate architecture include, he says, both establishing a single monolithic image that will attract both prestige and clients and providing viable working space for the employees. He claims a third and often ignored purpose is to relate the building to street activity and other buildings at its base. In his work with E.F. Hutton, Pollock struggles, often fruitlessly, to design an environment beneficial for workers and feels that his responsibility as an architect is to urge corporations to break from the practice of caring only for the "big fellow" at the top. The struggle is ultimately with those...
...policy of the Mayor's Office toward the waterfront has been to attract middle and upper class suburbanites back to the city, both as consumers and residents, in order to firm up Boston's sagging tax base.

This 1975 release relates the tale of an ageing...
...dealings with the vendors and musicians. The University ignored their offer to pay for a police detail to supervise the plaza, and has shown no interest in trying to work out a compromise agreement. It has even ignored the distinction between vendors who actively solicit for money, do not attract large crowds, and usually work during the day, and musicians who do not directly solicit money and usually work weekends and evenings...
