  • New York by Gehry Architect Brochure
    architect “I’ve always been fascinated with folds. All artists through the ages have spent time on the fold. Michelangelo had stacks of drawings of fabric. At 8 Spruce, we’re using Bernini’s folds to inspire the façade. I look for ways to express feeling in a building without using historic decoration.” Frank Gehry As varied as the cultural contexts in which he builds, Gehry’s muses include the natu- ral environment, clients, colleagues and artists from a variety of eras and disciplines. When seeking inspiration Gehry has spoken of turning to classic art, and, especially, to paintings, which he has said are ephemeral, open to interpretation and filled with ideas. However, for New York by Gehry, he was initially particularly inspired by Michelan- gelo’s drawings of fabric, which suggested the design of a very curvaceous, voluptuous façade. Later, in an early morning epiphany, Gehry recalled the work of 17th century Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the design took a new direction. Gehry’s fascination with Bernini dates back to 1960 when he first saw Bernini’s masterful sculpture, the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, in the Cornaro Chapel in Santa Maria della Vittoria. This sculpture, which he now visits on annual trips to Rome, features Bernini’s signature sharp, elongated folds of flowing fabric. The morning after his epiphany, Gehry went to a young designer in his office and asked her if she knew the difference between “Michelangelo curves and Bernini curves.” She said that she did, and within a matter of hours she delivered the sketch that led to the first model of New York by Gehry.

Credits 1 ADVANCING WOMEN IN REAL ESTATE IN THE UNITED STATES Overview of the Women’s Leadership Initiative The Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) at the Urban Land Institute (ULI) was founded in 2011 to encourage greater diversity in the real estate and land use industry. A variety of global research demonstrates that gender diversity in a company’s leadership ranks correlates with improved per- formance compared with peer organizations that lack diversity. Economic research also illustrates the increased productivity possible if industry sectors fully use the female population in the work- force. Yet membership statistics for ULI reflect a lack of diversity, with only one in four members being a woman. In order to build a vibrant and sustainable organization, that lack of diversity must be addressed. The mission of WLI is to raise the visibility and number of women leaders at ULI and in the real estate industry. This mission is achieved through the following objectives: • Promote the advancement of women, throughout their careers, as leaders in the real estate industry. • Increase the number of women serving in leadership positions in the real estate industry and at ULI.

  • The Pacific Park Brooklyn Project Is the Redevelopment of 22 Acres In
    CREDIT VUW PACIFIC PARK BROOKLYN The Pacific Park Brooklyn project is the redevelopment of 22 acres in downtown Brooklyn that will include approximately 6 million square feet of residential space (6,430 units of affordable and market-rate housing), a state of the art sports and entertainment arena, the Barclays Center, 247,000 square feet of retail use, approximately 336,000 square feet of office space and 8 acres of publicly accessible open space. The project plan permits a program variation which could allow for up to 1.6 million square feet of commercial space. The project also includes major transportation improvements, including a new storage and maintenance facility for the LIRR and a new subway entrance to the Atlantic Terminal Transit Hub, the third largest hub in the City. Atlantic Yards’ Master Plan was designed by Frank Gehry. The development was renamed Pacific Park Brooklyn in July, 2014. DEVELOPER In 2006 New York State approved Forest City Ratner Companies’ master plan for Atlantic Yards. In June of 2014, Greenland, USA and Forest City Ratner Companies closed on a joint venture agreement to develop all phases of the project – excluding Barclays Center and the first residential tower, 461 Dean Street, already under construction – including infrastructure, a permanent MTA rail yard, a platform above the rail yard, future residential units and future commercial high-rise development. Greenland Forest City Partners was chosen as the name of the new development company. SCHEDULE In June of 2014, Greenland Forest City Partners, New York State and New York City reached a deal to accelerate the build-out of Pacific Park Brooklyn.
