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.

SUMMARY:Tour: Landmark Battles of Midtown Manhattan
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. \nMidtown Manhattan has seen more than its fair share of landmark battles.

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: 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: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.

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.
