SUMMARY:Tour: Art Deco on the Upper Upper West Side (that's not a typo)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society (M.A.S.) Reservations required – click here. $30 ($20 MAS members). \nA meandering walk across the upper west tracts of the Upper West Side\, from West 85th to 103rd streets. We see work by such stalwart Manhattan Deco icons as Sugarman & Berger\, Boak & Paris\, and Harvey Wiley Corbett\, as well as architects less well known for their Deco productions\, including Emery Roth and Rosario Candela. Highlights include Roth’s Normandy Apartments and Corbett’s Master Apartments; the Broadway Fashion Building – four-stories of commercial space in a Moderne glass box; Joan of Arc Junior High School; Boak & Paris’s Midtown (now Metro) Theater; and one of Manhattan’s last surviving Horn & Hardart automat buildings\, with splendid Art Deco terra-cotta. If you’ve taken our tour of Art Deco on Central Park West\, and wondered what else might be out there closer to the Hudson\, this is your chance to find out

SUMMARY:Lecture: Art Deco New York – From the Chrysler Building to the Grand Concourse
DESCRIPTION:Art Deco today can refer to anything from saltcellars to skyscrapers\, produced anywhere in the world during the early decades of the last century\, using abstract\, stylized floral\, geometric\, or streamlined design. 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 during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings today survive as prized remnants of a distant-yet-modern past that still helps to define the city’s visual identity. \nThis 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 like Radio City Music Hall.

SUMMARY:Tour: Central Park as a Work of Art
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required ($20; $15 MAS members). To register\, call 212-935-3960\, or click here 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. Protecting the historic design is just another responsibility of the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Art Deco New York – From the Chrysler Building to the Grand Concourse
DESCRIPTION:Art Deco today can refer to anything from saltcellars to skyscrapers\, produced anywhere in the world during the early decades of the last century\, using abstract\, stylized floral\, geometric\, or streamlined design. 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 during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings today survive as prized remnants of a distant-yet-modern past that still helps to define the city’s visual identity. \nThis 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 like Radio City Music Hall. \nThis lecture is sponsored by the New York State Council on the Humanities; free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Why So High? The World's Tallest Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Since the ill-fated Tower of Babel\, mankind has been powerfully attracted to the idea of buildings rising into the clouds. The Empire State Building and the Sears Tower still rank among the world’s tallest and most famous buildings\, while the latest contenders for the title rise close to a quarter mile into the sky. In the 20th century\, it was the American skyscraper that regularly pushed the limit – from the Singer\, Met Life and Woolworth buildings to the Chrysler and the Empire State\, and eventually the World Trade Center and Sears Tower. Plans for the World Trade Center site have focused worldwide attention on such monuments\, raising the question: why so high? Was it strictly dollars and cents? Or was something more at play? This illustrated journey across a century and a half of the race to the top pays special attention to the design and construction of the Trade Center. \nThis lecture is sponsored by the Patterson Library\, and funded by the New York State Council of the Humanities. It is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT All Day Bus Tour: Art Deco Landmarks - Unlikely Battles And Great Successes
DESCRIPTION:New York City boasts the world’s greatest collection of Art Deco architecture. In honor of the 50th anniversary of New York’s Landmarks law\, being celebrated in 2015\, the Art Deco Society of New York (ADSNY) is sponsoring a marathon bus tour of Deco highlights in all five boroughs. \nMany of New York’s best-known Deco buildings are official Landmarks\, but others were disfigured or lost before they could be protected. This very special tour for ADSNY will take us on a whirlwind visit in which we celebrate restored landmarks\, mourn lost treasures\, and consider potential Landmark candidates still at risk of destruction. \nThe tour begins with a visit to some of the great Deco residential skyscrapers of the Upper West Side\, including the dramatic story of the close call when one of them was threatened with disfigurement. Next\, we will visit the first Deco apartment building in the Bronx\, given landmark status 30 years ago\, followed by a surprising Deco building that isn’t a landmark but perhaps should be. \nIn Queens\, we will stop for a buffet lunch at the beautiful Marine Air Terminal\, while admiring its restored Landmark interior\, including the once-lost murals of Flight. We’ll also visit a site that should have been made a Landmark but wasn’t\, and recently was completely refaced – a sad example of what can happen in the absence of Landmarks protection. \nThen it’s on to Brooklyn\, a borough ADSNY has not yet toured\, where we will see a once abandoned public building whose restoration resulted from a contested landmark designation; another building once proposed for landmark status but vandalized before it could be protected; and some wonderful Deco apartment buildings in Brighton Beach that lack protection and might disappear at any moment. \nLastly\, we will head to Staten Island\, a borough too often overlooked\, to see residential\, public and medical buildings that showcase Deco design. At the end of the tour\, you can choose to return to Manhattan on the bus or on the magical Staten Island Ferry 0 one of the great New York experiences.
