Friday Bonus
On the Friday before Christmas I like to see if I can find a Friday Bonus that has a bit of holiday magic. This was sent to me by my friend Anne McKinnon. The Boston Society of Architects has a gingerbread design competition.This year it had a transit theme. This creation, which Anne helped build, won. It shows a proposed, but never built urban ring subway for crosstown connections. Check out the other entries, too.
