Site Analysis


3/33

The urban fabric near the Gillette site exhibits a marked difference

from both the large but regular blocks of downtown Boston and thefine-grained venacular residential fabric throughout much of the restof the city (right). This difference is much more prominently displayedin the study of individual streets near the site, with Dorchester Ave.clearly showing a transition in both scale and grain as one moves fromSouth to North. Also, unlike much of Boston, streets and other openspaces are no longer defined by a strong built edge.
