From City Hall's steps looking towards Faneuil Hall, one has a view of different type of architecture of the city. From 1740 to 1806, the Faneuil Hall has been under different renovation and became part of one the most historic place of Boston.
Standing in the middle of the South Market and the North Market, one experiences a sequence of public stages: The walking path in the middle is interpreted as the most public space, then the little outdoors spaces of the stores around create a semi-public space and the stores- closed rooms but open to the public- created the least public place of all three.
A contrasting experience is created there in the middle of the massive building. At the lower part of a building at the seemingly intersection of two busy built zones, a work of intersecting arches creates a little open space as the air way of the area.
The Paul Revere Park- one of the most frequented visited park in Boston- offers the same diagrammatic experience in two different ways: standing in the middle of the park, one can see the green space followed by the built environment on both sides, also looking forward, the green space space is also followed by a built environment created by the buildings in the background.
