SUMMARY:Lecture: Why So High - The saga of building 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 “world’s tallest” title rise close to a quarter mile into the sky. In the 20th century\, it was the American skyscrapers of New York and Chicago that regularly pushed the limit — the pre-World- War-I Singer Building\, Metropolitan Life Tower\, and Woolworth Building; the 1920s battles culminating in the Chrysler and the Empire State Building; and the post-World War II World Trade Center and Sears Tower\, along with a dozen or more also-rans. \nThe destruction of the World Trade Center\, the rise of its replacement\, and the continuing phenomenon overseas\, 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? The development of steel-cage construction and elevators\, rising real-estate values\, and the economics of proximity\, all helped create the skyscraper — but none of these factors seem to have required the vast heights reached by the most famous. How could a strict\, hard-nosed business proposition like constructing an office building produce skyscrapers too tall to make economic sense? \nThis 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. The lecture is part of a program called “JCC University.” Call Kathy Graff at 201-408-1454 for cost and registration information.

SUMMARY:Tour: Margot Gayle's Tribeca - A Victorian Society New York New-Member-Orientation Walking Tour (so join up!)
DESCRIPTION:This tour of Tribeca\, focusing on its many cast-iron wonders\, is offered to newly minted members of the Victorian Society New York (the local chapter of the Victorian Society in America) which was founded in 1966 in the West 9th Street kitchen of legendary preservation advocate Margot Gayle. Without Margot’s efforts\, Tribeca might not be the protected historic neighborhood it is today. Though the tour is by invitation only\, there’s a simple way to cadge an invitation: join Victorian Society New York! \nI first led a tour of cast-iron architecture in Tribeca in the late 1970s\, as one of the volunteer guides for Margot’s “Friends of Cast-Iron Architecture.” This walk retraces the steps of that tour\, with special focus on the work of James Bogardus – one of Margot’s special interests – as well as facades cast by D.D. Badger’s Architectural Iron Works\, the only major 19th-century iron foundry whose catalog still exists. For more\, see the article in Panorama\, the chapter’s newsletter\, describing the tour as given in November 2011. \nFor more information\, and to sign up\, see the VSNY web site.

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:Lecture: 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. \nFree and open to the public\, thanks to the New York Council on the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Tour: Art Deco on the Upper East Side
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. \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 city’s best architects of the period\, 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\, by Harry Allen Jacobs; the elegant Carlyle Hotel; and apartment houses by Sloan & Robertson (of the Chanin Building)\, Horace Ginsbern (of the Park Plaza and other West Bronx wonders)\, Henry S. Churchill\, and George and Edward Blum – the latter being among the very first Art Deco apartment buildings anywhere in the city. Sponsored by the Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts – reservations required. $20 ($15 members of the FUES). \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Behind the Bright Lights - the Great Broadway Theaters
DESCRIPTION:With three-quarters of a century of history behind them\, the 40 surviving Broadway theaters stand as stunning works of art in themselves\, as well as monuments to the lively history of American theater. Many were built as lavish headquarters for Broadway’s great impresarios\, who spared no expense in their decor. The Belasco Theater\, designed for self-styled “Bishop of Broadway” David Belasco\, boasts Tiffany glass\, paneled wooden ceilings\, and murals by the New York Ashcan School artist Everett Shinn. The Georgian facade of the Little Theater\, built for aristocratic New England producer Winthrop Ames\, suggests a Colonial New England manor house\, into the intimate drawing room of which Ames cordially invited his audience. Other great Broadway houses include the recreation of the Petit Trianon in Versailles built for producer John Cort\, the pseudo-Florentine palace built for the Theater Guild\, and the delicately sculpted Music Box built by Irving Berlin for his Music Box Revues.
