With all the (deserved) negativity about the MBTA’s Silver Line, it’s nice to have some encouraging developments. I haven’t been to the new Courthouse Station in the South Boston waterfront district, but Robert Campbell’s review in the Globe is mostly positive, calling it "one of the remarkable new spaces in Boston." (I do also like his complaint that "with everything else in our lives turning into a media experience, I tend to think the smart move for architecture is to become the last bastion of reality and of solid, durable, recognizable shapes and materials.")
And Cambridge Chatter has some pictures which seem to confirm Campbell’s assessment. I actually like the neon purple, which might be a hard sell otherwise. It’s hard to pick a color to signify "silver" in a nonliteral way, but I think they may have done it.
