From Complex Curves to Clean Installs: Inside the Seaport’s 10 World Trade Project

By Randy Gould for Walls and Ceilings Magazine

At Boston’s Seaport District’s 10 World Trade tower, the complex design of curved walls, domed ceilings, and wood-finish canopies became a showcase of early collaboration and constructability. By engaging Century Drywall and RadiusTrack early, the project team used coordinated 3-D modeling to establish hanger points, translate freeform curved surfaces into 2-D fabrication geometry, and simplified exterior canopy assemblies. This upfront coordination minimized conflicts, reduced field rework, and enabled clean, efficient installations that honored the architectural intent.
