Welcome to Archinect City Guide, a new series that explores cities around the world through the eyes of architects. While there’s no shortage of travel guides out there, this series offers something different: A look at the favorite places — cafés, bookstores, parks, dive bars, side streets, and more — that inspire and energize the architects we admire. Think of it as a design-minded lens on urban life, curated by those who help shape it. We’re kicking things off in Boston with Eric Höweler, Founding Partner of award-winning firm Höweler + Yoon and Professor of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Are you a Boston local with your own go-to spots? Or have a city you think we should cover next? Share your thoughts, suggestions, and favorite places in the comments.
