Glazing Over Maki

Over at <i>Architectural Record</i>, <a href="http://archrecord.construction.com/news/2013/05/130501-Commentary-Glazing-Over-New-York.asp">Fred Bernstein laments</a> how New York City is "permitting continuous walls of glass to erase the city’s history and  leave its citizens with little to reflect on but reflections." The example he uses to describe this phenomenon, "where relentless repetition of glass facades leads to a numbing sameness," is <a href="http://www.maki-and-associates.co.jp/details/index_pic.html?pcd=120">Fumihiko Maki's office building</a> nearing completion at 51 Astor Place.<br /><br />I was in the area the other day and decided to snap some pictures of the building. Here is a view looking from the west, where the building reflects <a href="http://departmentstoremuseum.blogspot.com/2010/06/john-wanamaker-new-york.html">Daniel Burnham's Wanamaker department store</a>:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8723011673/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="516" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7384/8723011673_6bc1f924a9_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I have not really studied the design of Maki's building, and I'll admit I did not fall in love with the early  renderings of it, but I don't think it's the best (or would that be  worst?) example of what Bernstein is criticizing. The faceted  massing and variety of glass and framing types push the building a notch  above most glass-wrapped buildings in the city. If anything, it's a glass building made even glassier by its small trapezoidal site, which lets it be seen prominently from at least three sides, and by the adjacency of the old stone buildings of Wanamaker's and Cooper Union's <a href="http://cooper.edu/about/history/foundation-building-great-hall">Foundation Building</a>—the latter is visible on the left side in this view looking north up Third Avenue:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8723011295/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="575" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7380/8723011295_6ed04e9b33_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />In these views from the south and east (above and below), the double-sided nature of Maki's design comes across. On the west, where it reflects Burnham's 1905 building, 51 Astor Place appears to be a glass slab, akin to a small-scaled Miesian office building. But on the east it reads as three masses: the tallest black slab, a truncated triangular section in the middle, and a four-story base that fills just about the whole block, minus a plaza on the southeast corner (the massing can be seen best in <a href="http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.showprojectbigimages&img=2&pro_id=2044">this model view</a>). This sculpting of the glass building is fairly diagrammatic, but it's made better by the articulation of the exterior wall—the diagonal change from dark, butt-glazed panels to lighter glass with vertical fins gives the impression that the middle section of the building peels away from the taller slab. I'll grant that this is a visual conceit, but it's one that somehow manages to work well.<br /><br />Here is a view looking from the east, with Charles Gwathmey's earlier glassy "<a href="http://www.gwathmey-siegel.com/portfolio/proj_detail.php?job_id=200204">Sculpture for Living</a>" in the background:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8724132288/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7454/8724132288_067a9a6541_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Where I disagree with Bernstein is the fact he lumps so much scorn on Maki's building but goes pretty easy on Gwathmey's earlier building—its undulating wall is seen in the middle of the photo below, a view looking north on Lafayette toward 51 Astor Place. If there is one notable glass building in New York City since 2000 that I cannot stand, it is Gwathmey's tripartite tower. The clunky tower does the same things as Maki's tower (reflecting/refracting its surroundings, breaking up the mass, using different types of glass and framing), but in a much less elegant way. The faceted curves that make up the portion of the tower above the two-story base is one of my least favorite anywhere. Maki's building has a much bigger footprint than the Sculpture for Living, but I'd argue that the later building works better with the neighborhood, in terms of massing and articulation of glass, than the earlier one.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8724132634/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="410" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7373/8724132634_fff6d41851_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />In terms of Bernstein's general argument—glass as the default wrapper for new buildings needs to be reconsidered—I'm in agreement. It's something I've actually <a href="http://archidose.blogspot.com/2006/05/glass-is-new-painted-concrete.html">talked about in the past</a>, though to me the issue is about the design and articulation of glass walls as much as their prevalence. If all glass walls were given the care of 51 Astor Place (the area above the entry on Lafayette is seen below), or a building like 7WTC (not 1WTC, which is bland in comparison), then the "glazing over of New York" would not be so objectionable.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8723011547/" title="51 Astor Place by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="51 Astor Place" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7338/8723011547_e7132b7a0b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />One example Bernstein uses that I am in total agreement with is <a href="http://3columbus.slgreen.com/">3 Columbus Circle</a>, a 1928 that was <a href="http://nyc-architecture.com/?p=1047">literally glazed over</a> with what the developers call a "New Glass Sleek Façade" to create a new image for a building that occupies a similarly small and trapezoidal site (but in a more vertically crowded context) to 51 Astor Place. If, as Bernstein says, "it takes both old and new, working in concert, to keep a city from becoming a suburban office park," then arguing to maintain the historical qualities of buildings like 3 Columbus Circle makes more sense than decrying 51 Astor Place's attempts at fitting into its context.

happy mother's day

3:00 AM Anonymous 0

In honor of the holiday that should be celebrated every month (in my opinion), I thought I'd take a moment to say a big Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Jan. I owe every inch of my design sensibility to her, she taught me everything I know. I could tell you the difference between Biedermeier and Baroque by the time I was 10 and I was picking out estate jewelry before I could talk. And thanks to her I've toured every old home on the eastern seaboard and been to 46 state capitals. She is a great teacher and friend and there is no one I would rather go shopping with.<br /><br />Basically what I'm saying is this...<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihaQ85DvIkqt-45y8JVxGHuZ_4CI6JwSvxZXzknILGONhRiI6fqIgISoxwE1Xdz1YicI8tf4BLCwToD5lE8dmP4jqRRHqUWtTQIc9_pY-WgptXfo_6TySiHQHwP3cZdaKNijkRsHyG6pfj/s1600/e8d988d2b69962e7e37abf4aa5a3eb86.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihaQ85DvIkqt-45y8JVxGHuZ_4CI6JwSvxZXzknILGONhRiI6fqIgISoxwE1Xdz1YicI8tf4BLCwToD5lE8dmP4jqRRHqUWtTQIc9_pY-WgptXfo_6TySiHQHwP3cZdaKNijkRsHyG6pfj/s400/e8d988d2b69962e7e37abf4aa5a3eb86.jpg" width="380" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/267260559107147715/" target="_blank">source</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />And for something only she will understand - this is as close to a card as you will ever get. xoxo<br /><br /><br />And speaking of moms, don't forget to check out the <a href="http://blog.simplybabyfurniture.com/2013/05/09/blogpartyweek4/" target="_blank">Simply Baby Spring Blog Party</a> today.

As I researched for this show, I found this report out of North Carolina reporting an increase in test scores. A county here in Georgia is also implementing Early college stem as well. STEM is something every school needs (listen to the earlier show I recorded w/ Kevin Jarrett) but this is an interesting approach.  "Just two years after it opened, a North Carolina high school has found that teaching students the principles of STEM can boost test scores and keep learners engaged. That’s prompting the school to ask, “If we can do it, why can’t other schools do it, too?”  The school has a mouthful of a name: the Wake NC State University STEM Early College High School. It has attracted many students to its Raleigh campus – first generation-college students, minorities, and students from poor backgrounds – who are underrepresented in STEM fields. But in 2012, students did far better than average on the state’s standardized exams, with more than 95 percent passing."</p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/stem">stem</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/college">college</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://choose2matter.org/quest2matter-join">Quest2Matter - What It Is & How to Join - Choose 2 Matter</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">Help your kids submit their idea and work to Quest to matter.

There will be a winning project that is showcased and mentored. </p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/quest2matter">quest2matter</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/choose2matter">choose2matter</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/passionbasedlearning">passionbasedlearning</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/passion">passion</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/google20%">google20%</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/all_teachers">all_teachers</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/bestpractices">bestpractices</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/edu_news">edu_news</a></p>                                        </li>      <li>      <p class="diigo-link">                <a href="http://www.pavtube.com/guide/top-10-adobe-flash-player-for-new-ipad-3.html">Top 10 Adobe Flash Player for the new iPad 3</a>      </p>      <p class="diigo-description">One of the concerns about ipads is the inability to use flash or javascript. This can be done. Here are the top 10 flash players. If you limit down to those that can do Flash AND java - the options are a bit pricey - Cloud Browse does both but only lets you have 10 minute browsing sessions. Virtual Firefox ($4.99) and Virtual Browser for Chrome (19.99) each can allow Java and Flash and also bookmark/sync services with your desktop browser (5.99 and .99 respectively.) This may be a tad expensive but show it can be done. The highest rated is virtual browser for chrome. I think the chrome browser is a tad pricey. You do have to be 17 to download these apps, I guess because you can use them to access video. </p>              <p class="diigo-tags">          <span>tags:</span>                      <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/education">education</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a>            <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/apps">apps</a></p>                                        </li>  </ul><p class="diigo-ps">Posted from <a href='https://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.
