You are fortunate to live in the Boston area. A city highly regarded for it's architecture. I want you to go to Boston and visit a building that you like or want to know more about and research it.

Read these two articles reviewing Boston Architecture:

Objective: research and learn about a significant building in the Boston area

Steps:
After reading these reviews select a building to visit and use as the subject of your project.
Visit the building
Photograph the building from various angles
Research the building- find out the following information:
   -Who was the Architect?
   -When was the building created?
   -What is the location of the building?
