Heritage Ball 2010: Celebrating Leadership

10.07.10: More than 1,100 guests gathered at Chelsea Piers to celebrate design excellence at the Heritage Ball. The event, with proceeds benefiting the AIA New York Chapter and the Center for Architecture Foundation’s many initiatives, honored Vicki Match Suna, AIA, Senior Vice President and Vice Dean for Real Estate Development and Facilities at New York University Langone Medical Center (Center for Architecture Award); the Clinton Climate Initiative, a program of the William J. Clinton Foundation (Center for Architecture Foundation Award); 200 West Street Project Team (AIA New York Chapter Award); and Henry N. Cobb, FAIA, Founding Partner of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners Architect (Presidents Award).
Cobb accepted his lifetime achievement award with “three brief but memorable remarks,” that Cobb explained “have accompanied and often sustained me throughout the six decades of my professional life.” The third of these was by Claude Lévi-Strauss: “The city is both natural object and a thing to be cultivated; individual and group; something lived and something dreamed; it is the human invention, par excellence.” The 1,135 attendees responded to his remarks, and his achievement, with a standing ovation.

The Liquid Wall.

Sam Lahoz

The exhibition “Innovate:Integrate — Building Better Together” recently opened at the Center for Architecture featuring six finalists from the AIANY Chapter’s Open Call for Innovative Curtain Wall Design. The highlight of the exhibition, visible from the sidewalk, is the full-scale, two-story mock-up of the winning design, Liquid Wall by Peter Arbour/RFR. His team included Prototype fabrication and construction: Aerotech Manufacturing; Competition Architectural Metals; Coreslab Structures; F.J. Sciame Construction Company; Digital Fabrication Laboratory, Georgia Institute of Technology; Kammmetal; Ductal® by Lafarge North America; Matthews Coatings; Oldcastle Building Envelope; and Polytek.

Peter Arbour, Assoc. AIA, explained that a benefit of curtain walls is their potential for economical prefabrication. His team “tailored the system to fit with that mode of building” by using low-tech materials in combination with high-tech software. Curtain walls are typically made from aluminum, but Liquid Wall features a frame of Ductal ® high-performance concrete, which can perform in tension. The exterior and interior frames are separated by a thermal break, and the system also features a built-in radiant heating system.

In the Center’s Hines Gallery, the “innovate” portion of the exhibition features renderings, videos, and models of the other five finalists’ designs, as well as notable projects that incorporate cutting-edge curtain wall technologies such as the Seeko’o Hotel by Atelier King Kong with its Corian façade. The “integrate” portion of the exhibition is on the Mezzanine, which provides a “behind-the-scenes” glimpse into integrated project delivery — including top-down construction management, mass customization, digital fabrication, 4-D visualization, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) — in the context of projects such as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill’s Burj Khalifa and the Cellophane House by KieranTimberlake. Visitors may also interact with a BIM model of Yankee Stadium.

Architects may find many of the concepts presented in the exhibition familiar, but they are intended to reach a public audience. AIANY President Anthony Schirripa, FAIA, IIDA, who contributed to the development of the exhibition, explained that it is an opportunity to “show the public the complexity of the building process and that it is a team effort.” The exhibition will remain on view through 01.15.11.

The 200 West Street Project: Teamwork, Diversity, Creativity

Event: A Conversation with the Architects of 200 West Street
Location: Center for Architecture, 10.05.10
Speakers: Stephen Apking, FAIA — Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; Jay Berman, AIA — Pei Cobb Freed & Partners; Maddy Burke-Vigeland, AIA — Gensler; Scott Cohen — Preston Scott Cohen; Timur Galen — Global Head of Corporate Services and Real Estate, Goldman Sachs; Monica Ponce de Leon, Intl.

Six years, $2.5 billion, six architecture firms, two city blocks, and countless hours of collaboration. The result? The Goldman Sachs global headquarters at 200 West Street, an indelible legacy of the financial giant, and a tribute to teamwork, creativity, and diversity.

Completed in 2009, Goldman Sachs’ new home is not meant to publicize the company’s brand, according to Timur Galen, global head of Corporate Services and Real Estate, but to create a positive work environment. Galen saw the project as an opportunity to engender the culture of Goldman Sachs over time, creating a building that was “somehow like us.” Priding itself on a diverse staff which embodies myriad skill sets and backgrounds and strives to find efficient solutions through collaboration, Goldman sought an identical model for the design team that would realize its new home. Honorees at the 2010 Heritage Ball, the project team selected for the building — Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Gensler, Preston Scott Cohen, Office dA, and SHoP Architects — married talent, experience, vision, and unrelenting perseverance.

Under the direction of Pei Cobb Freed, each firm was tasked with a specific aspect of the 740-foot building. Stephen Apking, FAIA, of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who worked on the design of the office floors, saw the project as a “network of spaces and experiences that are carefully choreographed.” Largely influenced by the culture of Goldman Sachs, Monica Ponce de Leon, Intl. Assoc. AIA, of Office dA, balanced complexity with a perception of effortlessness in the design of 200 West Street’s dining hall and servery. Chris Sharples, AIA, of SHoP Architects, saw the project as a test bed for ideas, pushing creativity within a stable culture, similar to Goldman’s approach to business.

From the many voices that created 200 West Street, Galen’s mantras for the project emerged: “design matters” and “function is paramount.” An exercise in rigor, the building embodies the energy and collaborative spirit of Goldman Sachs.

Design education is in something of a crisis. At least that was the impression given by the deans of 13 architecture schools in the New York Metro area (including Upstate NY, Philadelphia, and New Haven). The discussion provided a valuable snapshot of current architectural discourse and the issues being debated in universities, and where the profession might be heading.

At times, the panel adopted the tone of a jocular class reunion: asked to promote their schools, Mark Wigley of Columbia University and Anthony Vidler, Assoc. AIA, of Cooper Union praised each other’s instead, to much laughter. But disagreements soon became apparent. For one, the panelists differed on how students should conceive of their role. Given the great complexity of real-world problems, Mark Foster Gage, AIA, of Yale University, suggested that architects are becoming “managers of information flows.” Even so, NYIT’s Judith DiMaio, AIA, cautioned that students are drawn to architecture for its artistic, form-giving potential, and educators should encourage and develop that passion.

The most contentious issues, however, concerned architects’ social responsibility. “We are professionals,” said Vidler, “and professionals, I think, have to have a certain ethic towards the society they serve and they work for.” Everyone seemed to concur, but when he cast the architect’s role as advocate and educator, many hesitated. For instance, George Ranalli, AIA, of City College of NY, criticized educators who fail to take seriously the layman’s dislike of Modern architecture, and also those who rehash Modern-vs.-Postmodern, politics-vs.-capitalism debates that students themselves no longer care about. Princeton University’s Stan Allen, AIA, put it another way: “When I look around at younger colleagues and recent graduates, they don’t have this anxiety. They’re perfectly willing to dive into the marketplace and tap the creativity of that marketplace.”

At its core, the discussion betrayed a long-standing existential crisis over the architects’ position in the world, especially as disciplinary boundaries become more flexible. Urs Gauchat, Hon. AIA, of NJIT, stressed the need for architecture students to make connections to other disciplines such as ecology, transportation, real estate, or public policy, and Mark Robbins of Syracuse University noted that students are empowered when they become conversant in these other discourses.

But some members of the audience had more practical concerns on their minds: “What about the cost?” someone asked. Yes, private institutions can be quite expensive, Gauchat conceded, but public universities and grants can make school more accessible. In the end, DiMaio said, a design education is valuable because it provides a foundation to do almost anything.

The Next Evolutionary Stage for NYU Med

After a discussion of NYU Langone Medical Center’s expansion plans, from a presentation of the site’s history to a blizzard of renderings, plans, and sections for the new Helen and Martin Kimmel Pavilion, Ennead’s Duncan Hazard, AIA, casually mentioned, “None of this is designed yet.” The 10-year plan to modernize the university’s East Side campus with a world-class acute-care facility, plus a renovation of the existing Tisch Hospital building, is just getting under way. The presentation by a team including Heritage Ball honoree Vicki Match Suna, AIA, and NBBJ’s Joan Saba, AIA, involved planning documents, not final designs; some components may change. But even at this early stage, the project promises to make NYU Langone a focal point in the specialized art of advancing the healing professions through design.

It’s a challenging site, complicated by Amtrak’s two Northeast Corridor tunnels, storm sewers, the nearby FDR Drive, and soil conditions precluding basements. There are also the existing buildings, which have appeared over multiple expansion stages since the Skidmore Owings & Merrill master plan for the campus first took shape in 1949. Now, the combination of medicine’s technical advances, new standards for outpatient and emergency care, and an increasing awareness of synergies between medical and environmental values (the green element in a campus not only improves its energy profile but enhances patients’ experience) have raised the stakes for architects working in this complex area.

With the institution’s integrated mission of patient care, teaching, and research requirements, architects are working closely with Design and Operational Strategic Teams comprising representatives of clinical departments. Evidence-based design, based on precise studies of how hospitals’ physical and operational features affect patient outcomes, is guiding many decisions. Modular same-handed room design can reduce staff errors; rethinking procedures along “lean management” principles incorporates strategies for infection control and minimizing patient handoffs between personnel.

State-of-the-art operation/procedure rooms, 12 to a floor, will accommodate broad ranges of surgical and other forms of care. Bed floors, delineated as a distinct volume atop a podium of procedural floors, use a floor plan resembling two open parallelograms, cracked at the center to offer patients a maximum of light and views. Connections between Kimmel and Tisch incorporate a central hallway spine to simplify patients’ wayfinding. The seventh floor will provide a roof terrace, one of Kimmel’s more prominent green features.

The campus transformation will take place within an active teaching-hospital environment; demolitions and relocations require multiple two-step processes to avoid disrupting operations. The East Side’s hospital district is about to endure some tricky transitional years, but Suna and her colleagues are giving NYU and the city an impressively coherent vision.

The West 4th Street Walls Are Talking Architecture

Event: MADE IN NEW YORK Exhibition Opening
Location: West 4th Street Subway Station, 10.08-31.10
Organizers: AIANY / Center for Architecture
Sponsors: Kramer Levin

MADE IN NEW YORK exhibition.

Jessica Sheridan

For the second year in a row, the ramps at the West 4th Street subway station are donned with recently built and proposed architecture. While last year’s “NEW YORK NOW” exhibition featured work within the five boroughs of NYC, this year’s “MADE IN NEW YORK” expanded the program to also include international work by AIANY Chapter members completed after 01.01.2006.

Offering a “snapshot of current practice,” according to the exhibition description, projects range in scales and types, from small to large, private to public, and include historic preservation, industrial design, landscape, and urban design. Seemingly random adjacencies bring out the full range of projects while featuring similar themes. For example, the Poets House in Manhattan, by Louise Braverrnan, Architect, is near the Interactive Poetry Walk in East Cleveland, OH, by the NY Art Project with Barry Holden Architect. The sustainable Iraq Ministry of Interior Public Housing in Erbil, Kurdistan, by Arpad Baksa Architect, relates to the Green Roofscapes of the Jacob K. Javits Center Renovation and Expansion by FXFOWLE/Epstein and Ken Smith Landscape Architects.

Because there are no project descriptions — just names of the projects, locations, architects, and engineers — interpretations and connections are made by the viewer. Because the viewers are mostly the public, there is a unique connection that this exhibition makes between project teams and those observing from outside of the profession.

Note: Thirty of the 200 projects will be exhibited at the Zodchestvo 2010 Architectural Festival, opening in Moscow this Thursday, 10.14.10, under the banner, “MADE IN NEW YORK: The Architecture of Social Responsibility.”

City Architects Shape the Public Realm

Event: Conversations about Public Architecture
Location: Center for Architecture, 10.05.10
Speakers: Peter Magnani, AIA – Director, Capital Program Management/Facilities Planning, Queens Borough Public Library; David Resnick, AIA — Deputy Commissioner, NYC Department of Design + Construction
Moderators: Michael Plottel, AIA, and Anna Torriani, AIA, of the AIANY Public Architecture Committee
Organizer: Center for Architecture; AIANY Public Architecture Committee
Sponsors: Kramer Levin

Behind NYC’s civic facilities are architects in leadership positions who guide the procurement, design, and construction processes through government entities. Libraries and other community buildings comprise the highest volume of public projects, while the largest portion of the budget goes toward public safety projects, explained David Resnick, AIA, deputy commissioner of the NYC Department of Design + Construction.

Peter Magnani, AIA, director of Capital Program Management/Facilities with the Queens Borough Public Library system, who has overseen several library projects in Queens, and sees transparency as one of the most important themes to encourage visitors to stop by and stay a while. Marpillero Pollak Architects designed the renovation of the Elmhurst Branch Library; its original 1900s structure weighted the middle of the park. The renovation resulted in a “transparent and dynamic building,” according to Magnani, that reconnects visitors with the park. The Kew Gardens Hills Library by WORKac entices passersby with glimpses through the glazing of its ribbon-like façade. The new Glen Oaks Community Library by Marble Fairbanks Architects features varying degrees of opaque glass on the exterior.

On the other hand, for the PSAC II, a 911 call center designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill under Resnick’s guidance, the designers strived to create a pleasant workspace for people who “always have to be on top of their game” by including features like a green wall that functions as a huge air return system. Another large-scale public project that Resnick is involved with is the 35-acre College Point, Queens Police Academy by Perkins + Will, which consolidates several training facilities throughout the city into one. Resnick mentioned that the Design + Construction Excellence program also pairs small firms with small but significant design projects, providing yet another opportunity for architects to take part in shaping the public realm.

Phase One of Rockefeller University’s new Collaborative Research Center on the Upper East Side has been completed. Designed by Mitchell/Giurgola Architects, the complex includes the renovation of Smith Hall, one of two neo-classical limestone-and-masonry buildings, and the construction of a “bridge building” over a parking lot sited between the two buildings. The 250,000-square-foot project reorganizes both buildings into open-plan laboratories. Horizontally oriented lab space will allow as many as eight laboratories to share a single floor plan, an arrangement that will help foster interaction among scientists. In addition, the project includes campus-wide support elements, such as a conference center, a café, and facilities for campus-wide glass washing and chemical/biological/radioactive waste removal. The limestone-and-glass curtain wall bridge building incorporates conference and meeting rooms, snack areas, and pantries. During Phase Two, Flexner Hall will undergo renovation and a 200-seat lecture hall will be constructed below the atrium.

Broadway Housing Community development.

David Adjaye Associates

Broadway Housing Communities, a non-profit community housing development and management organization providing permanent housing for individuals and families at “high risk” in Washington Heights and West Harlem, has unveiled plans for the new project designed by David Adjaye Associates. The building, which overlooks the Harlem River, will contain 124 housing units and be home to the new 18,000-square-foot Faith Ringgold Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling. The museum will house the artist’s permanent collection of painted story quilts along with temporary exhibitions and children’s artwork, a performance space, shop, café, media center, and library. Work on the project is expected to begin later this year and the building is scheduled to open in 2012.

RKT&B Architects has completed an 80,000-square-foot, $15 million NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) project in Harlem. Located close to Marcus Garvey Park, the project, which is two new eight-story infill buildings that flank an existing low-rise building, includes 37 affordable housing units, commercial ground floors, and community facility space. Both buildings are thematically similar and relate architecturally to the early 20th-century neighborhood. The facades consist of bricks in three colors that relate to the colors of the surrounding buildings. Staggered windows create a variegated surface while allowing flexibility in locating apartment walls.

Community of Designers Creates a Mixed-Use Community for Brooklyn

Navy Green.

FXFOWLE Architects

Ground was recently broken for Navy Green on a 103,000-square-foot city block, a former naval prison site known as “The Brig,” in Fort Greene/Wallabout, Brooklyn. Designed by FXFOWLE Architects, master planner and architect, Curtis + Ginsberg Architects, architect, Architecture in Formation, design architect of supportive housing building, and Todd Rader and Amy Crews Landscape Architecture, the site will be transformed into a mixed-use community by combining affordable rentals with market-rate co-ops, townhouses, and supportive housing facilities constructed in two phases. The first phase includes an eight-story, 101-unit, affordable rental building and an eight-story, 98-unit, supportive housing building. The latter will provide housing and social services, such as access to medical care, recreation, and vocational training to chronically homeless and low-income single adults. When completed, Navy Green will consist of approximately 458 residential units in four multi-family buildings and 23 townhomes. In addition, the project features over 8,000 square feet of commercial and/or community facility space, and approximately 32,000 square feet of common green space in the center of the development.

Park Avenue Armory Begins Phase I of Renovations

Elliot Kaufman

Park Avenue Armory has completed the first phase of a $68 million, multi-year renovation and restoration project by Herzog & de Meuron, design architect, Platt Byard Dovell White, executive architect, and Fisher Dachs Associates, theatrical consultant. Work completed to date includes reinforcing trusses and bolstering the building’s electrical capacity, and the installation of high-tech rigging, lighting, and mechanical equipment. The renovation has transformed the Wade Thompson Drill Hall into one of NYC’s largest visual and performing arts spaces for large-scale, immersive, site-specific installations and performances. The overall renovation plans for the building, designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Platt Byard Dovell White, will be unveiled next year.

Libeskind’s Warsaw Project Gets Green Light… Again

ZLOTA 44.

Studio Daniel Libeskind

Objections from neighbors forced Polish authorities to suspend the permit on ZLOTA 44, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind, located in the heart of Warsaw. After proving the project was planned and designed in accordance with all local codes and regulations, work has resumed on the 54-story concrete structure with glass curtain wall cladding. Designed in response to the destruction of Warsaw in post-war Russian reconstruction, the 804,602-square-foot project — Libeskind’s first in his native Poland — will include 251 luxury residential units, retail, and parking/storage. Orco Property Group, the project’s developer intends to complete as much of the building as possible in time for EURO 2012, the final tournament of the 14th UEFA European Football Championship.
