SUMMARY:TOUR: Central Park as a Work of Art
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the New York Botanical Garden\, Members Trips. (To take this tour\, you must be a member of the Botanical Garden – click here for membership details.) Reservations required: call 1-718-817-8703\, email membership@nybg.org\, or click here (scroll down to find the tour) to register on-line. \nPerhaps best-known of New York’s official “Scenic Landmarks\,” Central Park offers New Yorkers refuge\, recreation and rejuvenation; a temporary haven from a city of brick and steel\, concrete and glass. And yet this park which delights us with its lakes and streams\, wildflowers and grand open spaces\, is almost entirely artificial\, carefully designed right down to the hidden pipes feeding a rustic waterfall.

SUMMARY:TOUR: SoHo Historic District
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required ($30\, but $20 for MAS members). Click here for information and registration. \nSoHo today is home to the world’s greatest trove of cast-iron buildings. Cast-iron architecture began as a mid-19th-century cheap imitation of stone\, in which the glories of the world’s past could be offered in modern times in mass-produced\, ready-to-build versions. But cast-iron soon developed into a remarkable technology expressive of the industrial revolution\, capable of entirely new architectural effects. Threatened by a proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway\, SoHo was rescued from near obliteration in 1973 by designation as one of the city’s earliest historic districts. This tour considers the district’s original architecture as well as new Commission-approved additions.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: The Twin Towers - Remembering the World Trade Center
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. For information and reservations\, click here. \nNow that more than a decade has passed since the disaster of September 11th\, 2001\, and a new World Trade Center rises on the site\, we can begin to remember what the original was like — “a city-within-a-city” that housed 50\,000 employees\, and welcomed 80\,000 to 100\,000 visitors every day to its Twin Towers\, briefly the tallest structures in the world. \nBased on the book Classics of American Architecture: The World Trade Center\, this lecture reviews the story of its creation\, post-World War II Downtown redevelopment\, the origins of the Trade Center concept\, the search for an architect\, the evolution of the design\, the urge to build the world’s tallest buildings\, the engineering feats required for the towers’ construction\, and the critical response. It is offered as a reminder of a more innocent time\, when the Center stood as a symbol\, certainly\, of hubris\, wealth and power\, but also of the conviction that in New York\, Americans could do anything to which they set their minds.

DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. Reservations required – click here for information and registration. \nMarvel at the world’s greatest trove of cast-iron buildings in this guided tour through the streets of SoHo.  Cast iron began as a mid-nineteenth century cheap imitation of stone\, in which the glories of the world’s past could be offered to American merchants through that most modern of marketing tools\, the sales catalog — in mass-produced\, ready-to-build versions.  But cast iron soon developed into a remarkable technology expressive of the industrial revolution and modern America\, capable of entirely new architectural effects.  Tour highlights include cast iron recreations of Venetian palaces on Broadway\, French style Mansard roofs on Greene Street\, and the audaciously original metallic creations of New York’s Victorian commercial architects.  The tour also incorporates SoHo’s more recent history\, including the impact of the proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway\, designation as a New York City Historic District\, the changing economics of light industry\, and the fashions of the art world.

SUMMARY:TOUR: Washington Heights Art Deco
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required – click here. ($30; $20 MAS members) \nHigh up on a hill\, its streets lined with modest but attractive six-story Art Deco apartment houses\, Washington Heights has more in common with West Bronx neighborhoods just across the Harlem River than with the rest of Manhattan. Many of the same architects who worked on the Grand Concourse also designed apartment buildings on or near Fort Washington Avenue – we will see work by Horace Ginsbern\, Jacob Felson\, Israel Crausman\, Miller and Goldhammer\, Charles Kreymborg\, and H. Herbert Lillien. Two taller apartment buildings\, by Boak and Paris\, offer a more idiosyncratic take on the modernism of the 1930s. This walk with Anthony W. Robins will also include a one-story taxpayer\, and one of the city’s few frankly Deco subway entrances. But the star attraction is the Fourth Church of Christ\, Scientist (now the Hebrew Tabernacle of Washington Heights)\, one of perhaps a dozen or so Art Deco houses of worship anywhere in the city.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: Art Deco New York: The Architects Speak
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Art Deco Society of New York. Click here for details. ($50; $35 for ADSNY members) \nWe explore the work of three of the architects who helped transform the face of New York City in the 1920s and 30s with the colorful and geometric designs we now call Art Deco–and we hear the architects describe their buildings in their own words. \nThe great Art Deco skyscrapers–the Chrysler Building\, the Empire State Building–were designed by socially prominent architects\, often of old New York stock. But a generation of Jewish architects and builders–new to the profession and often new to the country–helped spread the Deco style across the more modest\, but also more numerous\, middle-class landscapes of the city\, from the Garment District to the Grand Concourse. In the late 1970s and early 1980s\, I had the good fortune to meet and interview three of those architects and recorded the interviews. \nThe three architects––Israel Crausman\, Louis Allen Abramson\, and Marvin Fine––came from varying backgrounds. Fine\, of the firm of Horace Ginsbern\, had a sophisticated architectural education at the University of Pennsylvania; Abramson apprenticed to a famous older architect\, took a few extension courses at Columbia\, and then went out on his own; while Crausman was a self-taught builder. Fine designed the first Deco apartment house in the Bronx; Crausman designed many Bronx apartment houses on and off the Grand Concourse; Abramson designed notable Horn & Hardart Automats\, as well as restaurants in the Longchamps chain.

SUMMARY:LECTURE (in Chicago): Art Deco Metropolis - the jazz age architecture of New York City
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Chicago Art Deco Society. For further information and to register\, click here. ($15 CADS members\, $20 guests) \nThe Chrysler Building\, the Waldorf-Astoria\, Rockefeller Center– these are among the hundreds of Art Deco monuments that during the 1920s and ‘30s helped create the image of New York City as the world’s Modern Metropolis. In New York\, Art Deco evolved through a series of Manhattan skyscrapers into the city’s chief architectural language. Following a massive reawakening of interest in them during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings today survive as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still help define the city’s visual identity. \nThe lecture covers the great skyscrapers of architects Raymond Hood\, William Van Alen\, Ely Jacques Kahn and Ralph Walker\, including the Daily News\, Empire State\, Irving Trust\, General Electric\, American Radiator\, Barclay-Vesey and RCA Buildings. It then traces the adaptation of this “skyscraper style” through apartment buildings on the Bronx’s Grand Concourse\, airport terminals at LaGuardia\, the Central Park West residential skyline\, automated midtown parking garages\, diners\, hotels\, department stores\, banks\, and theaters.

SUMMARY:TOUR: Art Deco on the Upper East Side (Itinerary No. 10)
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. $30 per person ($20 for MAS members). For information and registration\, click here. \nThe Upper East Side—Manhattan’s Gold Coast—maintains an aura of conservative respectability\, and perhaps as a result never attracted as much Art Deco flash as its counterpart on the west side of Central Park. Nevertheless\, tucked among the Beaux-Arts town houses and sedate neo-Georgian apartment buildings\, the neighborhood has some remarkable examples by some of the best architects\, including an apartment house by Raymond Hood (built for the owner of the Daily News); one of Manhattan’s very few Art Deco town houses; the elegant Carlyle Hotel; and apartment houses by Sloan & Robertson\, Horace Ginsberg. and George and Edward Blum—the Blums having designed some of the very first Art Deco apartment buildings anywhere in the city.
