SUMMARY:Lecture: Art Deco New York – From the Chrysler Building to the Grand Concourse
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Bronxville Library – details TBA \nArt 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: Art Deco on East 42nd Street
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\, or email membership@nybg.org. Details TBA. \nCoined in the 1960s to describe a style of French decorative arts\, “Art Deco” can refer to anything from saltcellars to skyscrapers built with abstract\, stylized floral\, geometric\, or streamlined design. Following a massive reawakening of interest during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings survive as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still define the city’s visual identity. This tour focuses on three of the finest Deco monuments in midtown: the Daily News Building by Raymond Hood (1929)\, the Chanin Building by Sloane & Robertson (1927)\, and the Chrysler Building by William Van Alen (1930)\, plus a look at nearby Tudor City. Your guide\, Anthony W. Robins\, is the author of the award-winning New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tour: Central Park as a Work of Art
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. Reservations required – 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.
