SUMMARY:Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark
DESCRIPTION:On February 1st\, 1913\, the brand-new Grand Central Terminal opened its doors to an admiring public. On February 1st\, 2013\, the beautifully restored Terminal – rescued from destruction by a seminal 1978 Supreme Court decision – celebrated its Centennial\, accompanied by exhibitions\, events\, and a new book: Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark. The Terminal’s creation combined engineering bravado (sinking two train yards below ground)\, technological wizardry (electrifying the trains to eliminate steam and enable their underground functioning)\, and real-estate savvy (replacing the original street-level train yard with 16 blocks of newly prime Midtown Manhattan real-estate\, whose development paid for it all) with innovative planning (interior ramps and looping tracks) and Paris-inspired Beaux-Arts design. This illustrated lecture brings the Terminal to life – its remarkable history\, stunning architecture\, and central role in creating midtown Manhattan. \nThis lecture is funded by the New York Council for 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 Art Deco Society of New York\, and funded by the New York State Council of the Humanities. It is free and open to the public (to register\, please send an email with your name and the name of the lecture to Events@ArtDeco.org).

SUMMARY:Tour: Landmark Battles of Broadway's Theater District
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. \nThe great Broadway theaters\, built between the turn of the century and the onset of the Great Depression\, are stunning works of art in themselves as well as monuments to the lively history of American theater. During the 1980s\, their fate hung in balance as the city sought redevelopment to clean up the area’s crime and pornography – construction of the Marriott Marquis hotel required demolition of five theaters. After several years of controversy\, the Landmarks Commission designated most of the surviving theaters\, many of which have since undergone major restorations. Your guide served as the Commission’s Deputy Director of Research in the 1980s\, and led the staff effort to document the theaters’ architecture and history.

SUMMARY:Tour: The SoHo/Cast-Iron Historic District
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. \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:SOLD OUT Tour: Manhattan's Art Deco Interiors
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. \nThe phrase “Art Deco New York” generally conjures romantic images of Manhattan skyscrapers. But just as remarkable as the towers are their sumptuous interiors – which are also far more comfortable to visit on a cold winter’s day. On this tour\, we’ll visit the publicly accessible interiors of half a dozen Deco marvels: the Daily News Building\, the Chrysler Building\, the Chanin Building\, the General Electric Building\, the Waldorf-Astoria\, and the RCA (then GE\, and soon to be COMCAST) Building at Rockefeller Center.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED (BLIZZARD) - TO BE RESCHEDULED 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:SOLD OUT Tour: Art and Architecture of the Subway
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. \nFrom the beginning\, the people who planned the subway’s construction considered it\, in words actually written into the contract\, a “great public work” worthy of attractive design. On this tour\, we will ride the rails from the Battery to Midtown\, and consider the three major phases of subway design: the original 1904 IRT\, the Dual Contracts extensions of the ‘teens and the modernistic Independent Line that opened in 1932\, with a peek at a ’70s redesign by Philip Johnson. Don’t miss the tour that CBS News called one of the five best art walks in New York! Note: You will need to bring a MetroCard worth at least three fares.

DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. $25 ($15 for members of Landmark West!) Click here to register. \nA meandering walk across the upper west tracts of the Upper West Side\, from West 85th to 103rd streets\, Broadway to Riverside Drive.
