Running along the south side of Commonwealth Avenue in front of 566 Commonwealth, this brick wall is just plain and dirty. Though I respect the bare-brick aesthetic, with a mural or some inlays this wall has the potential to be a sizable, interesting site for an installment of some kind.
This stretch of wall is fairly long and has the capacity to be beautiful and interesting if anyone took the time to give it anything between a touch up and a total makeover.
One idea I can envision is something like the Boston Bricks installment I posted about previously. If some of those bricks were replaced with sculpted inlays or even just painted as accents then the wall itself would be far more interesting. I can imagine it being a timeline of BU with each detailed brick acting as an event on the timeline. That would allow passersby to take a short journey through the history of the campus they are entering.
