SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: "New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham's Jazz Age Architecture"
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. Information and registration\, click here. \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. \nAfter the talk there will be a book signing for New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture (SUNY Press\, Excelsior Editions\, 2017).

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: The fabulous Broadway theaters - Times Square Reborn
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. Information and registration\, click here. \nWalk the streets of the Great White Way? as we trace the history of New York’s Broadway theater district from Oscar Hammerstein in the 1890s to Walt Disney in the 1990s. With 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 on 44th Street was designed to the specifications of the extravagant David Belasco\, the self-styled “Bishop of Broadway”? who\, among other eccentricities\, wore a clerical collar. The Little Theater\, built for aristocratic New England producer Winthrop Ames\, originally sat a tiny audience of 300; its precious Georgian style facade looks less like a typical Broadway theater than a Colonial New England manor house. Producer John Cort’s theater was designed as a recreation of the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Today these jewels sparkle among all the brash new skyscrapers that have transformed the once dingy and dangerous Times Square. The tour includes it all: theaters\, skyscrapers\, and city planning at its most controversial.
