AMERICA DEL NORTE | ESTADOS UNIDOS CUADERNO DE ESTADOS UNIDOS Trenes Parece una locomotora. La fotografía, algo borrosa, muestra, a lo lejos, una columna de humo que desaparece por el lado derecho. Pero es en realidad la fotografía la que está tomada desde un tren que viaja de Queens a Manhattan el 11 de setiembre de 2001. Y mirando con algo más de detalle, uno se da cuenta de que a lo lejos, lo que parecía una locomotora (o más bien su chimenea) no es más que el perfil apenas visible de las Torres Gemelas. Train, de Chris Martino, muestra la inquietante ambigüedad de los trenes. Y de la foto- grafía. Este Cuaderno de Estados Unidos, a la manera de prólogo de viaje, por su parte, recalará en algunas fotografías “de viaje” para componer un pequeño dialecto sobre Estados Unidos. No es un prólogo de arquitectura, por cierto; pero espero que algo de arquitectura aparezca por uno y otro lado. Y es solo un prólogo posible; cada uno debiera hacer el suyo para evitar el peligro de los prólogos: escudriñar con demasiada eficiencia el relato que sigue, develar demasiado, dejar demasiado poco. Aquí, creo, no hay peligro: es demasiado lo que se prologa y demasiado breve el prólogo como para decir más de la cuenta. Train está en un libro blanco, pequeño. El título: Requiem. El autor: Sanford Kwinter. Pero hay más del título; el subtítulo, apenas visible en blanco mate sobre el blanco brillo de la tapa: for the City at the End of the Millennium. La fotografía ilustra un útlimo ensayo, Ground Zero, que provocativamente cierra el libro. Está claro que Kwinter no proclama la muerte de la ciudad a secas. Sí la muerte de la ciudad tal como la hemos entendido convencionalmente. La ciudad bella y ordenada da lugar a una ciudad exuberante, irracional, redundante, y eventualmente sublime. La ciudad de la muerte y el placer. Si el primero de los ensayos refiere al parisino Beaubourg y al Centre Pompidou, el último insiste sobre la locomotora infernal del 9/11. * * * El contra-réquiem de Kwinter es, probablemente, un tácito homenaje a Nueva York, la ciudad de la muerte y el placer. En un encuentro fortuito en Brooklyn (a la Auster), en un caminante frenético por el Central Park (a la Allen), en una ambulancia fugaz en la lluvia (a la Scorsese), está esa ciudad. Y parece una locomotora. 6 GUÍA DE VIAJE | GENERACIÓN 2006 AMERICA DEL NORTE | ESTADOS UNIDOS View of Central Park Looking North, Abelardo Morell (2008) ¿El Central Park en una habitación? Tal vez esta debió ser la primera fotografía, la came- ra obscura. Una habitación. Se pueden ver los zócalos, una puerta, una cortina y dos alfombras, cables tensados sobre el muro blanco. Y el Central Park. Sabemos, por la luz y por ciertos efectos perspectivos, que no se trata de un mural sino de una reflexión; de hecho, el Central Park aparece invertido. Las hojas rojizas de otoño (pudo ser primavera, verano, o un invierno blanco) cubren toda la habitación. Ahí está Manhattan, enfrente del cuarto transformado en camera obscura. Y ahí está el Central Park; casi se puede ver el dibujo de Olmsted y Vaux sobre el muro, la Greensward plan de 1858. Frederick Law Olmsted: recuerden este nombre, por el Central Park y el Prospect Park en Nueva York, por el Emerald Necklace de Boston y tantos otros parques. Si hoy visitáramos el Manhattan de los Commissioners de 1811 la habitación sería otra. El Central Park no estaría y en su lugar solo seguiría la grilla interminable. Pero el concurso de 1858 marcó uno de los más grandes hitos en la historia de las ciudades. El parque inglés, admirado por Olmsted en su viaje a Inglaterra de 1850, descalzado ahora de la retórica esteticista de Pope, Payne Knight y otros, aparece como el gran parque urbano de Manhattan. La tierra de arbustos, cascadas insípidas y afloraciones rocosas se trans- formaría gradualmente, como anunciaban las imágenes presentadas en el concurso de 1858, en uno de los escenarios naturales más memorables de Occidente. En su dialéctica urbana, su titánica ingeniería, y su meditado devenir, es el principio de muchas cosas. Entre otras, como sugiere provocativamente Robert Smithson, del land art. Y el Central Park en la habitación. La textura de las hojas y los edificios, con sus ventanas vibrantes, sobre el muro blanco. Morell sabe que el Central Park está en cada habitación de Manhattan, y que es, al fin, un juego de reflexiones. GUÍA DE VIAJE | GENERACIÓN 2006 7 AMERICA DEL NORTE | ESTADOS UNIDOS Moon and Half Dome, Ansel Adams (1960) f/64. La apertura es mínima. Una Hasselblad de gran formato, posiblemente un lente rojo intenso, y el Zone System garantizan el perfecto balance tonal de la composición. La fotografía en blanco y negro extrema los contrastes: la luna, el cielo denso, y la roca áspera de Yosemite adquieren una apariencia diurna, casi solar. Adams insistía en “visua- lizar” la fotografía, en imaginar el resultado final; tal vez no había más placas y no podía cometerse un error. Adams (como Martino) sabía que eso ocurriría solo un instante. Que la luz cambiaría, que la sombra se haría más tosca, que una nube cubriría la luna. Adams había fundado el grupo f/64 en 1932 como respuesta al pictorialismo fotográfico de Alfred Stieglitz y otros. Nada de pinturas o fotografías coloreadas o afectación, aquí solo la realidad más íntima e intensa de la naturaleza. Difícilmente el transcendenta- lismo de Emerson y Thoreau (desde su cabaña en Walden) y Whitman, o el enardecido preservasionismo de John Muir (el padre de los parques nacionales), pudieron imaginar un mejor tributo a la naturaleza que el de Adams. Convertido en lector de Emerson y seguidor de Muir (a través de su Sierra Club) epitomiza el pensamiento americano so- bre el “wilderness,” la unidad hombre-naturaleza contrapunto de la vida urbana nada “transcendente,” nada “espiritual.” Digamos ahora, que a esta dicotomía seguramente apunte también el Requiem de Kwinter. Adams elevó la fotografía al status de arte. En el Museo De Young de San Francisco se exhibieron las primeras obras del grupo f/64, y fue el propio Adams que colaboró en la creación del Departamento de Fotografía del MoMA, en 1940, y también del SFMoMA. No es poco importante que el departamento de fotografía del MoMA de Nueva York naciera, en buena medida, de la mano de fotografías de la Costa Oeste y de su naturaleza “salvaje.” Este y oeste: recuerden esto también. 8 GUÍA DE VIAJE | GENERACIÓN 2006 AMERICA DEL NORTE | ESTADOS UNIDOS Union City Drive-In Theatre, Hiroshi Sugimoto (1993) Robert Smithson publicó Frederick Law Olmsted y el paisaje dialéctico en Artforum en 1973, el año de su muerte. Smithson, que había leído a Gilpin, Price y Payne Night, comprendía que la estética pintoresquista del Central Park no era sino una máquina en constante evolución, un territorio dialéctico de pulsos y contrapulsos (tal vez Morell tam- bién lo sabe), tal cual él lo había explorado en su land art y sintetizado tempranamente en el Spiral Jetty de 1960. Este y oeste, otra vez. Mucho más que la ruta de Kerouac, este y oeste están inextricablemente ligados: el cisma vertical de Nueva York parece réplica del vector horizontal del oeste.

    Published on AIA Top Ten (http://www.aiatopten.org) Home > Cherokee Studios Cherokee Studios Project Overview The photo shows the eastern street view of the building along Fairfax Avenue. - Photo Credit: John Linden The main entrance, including retail frontage on the first floor, can be seen in this photo. - Photo Credit: John Linden A street view looking northwest is shown in the photo. - Photo Credit: John Linden . This urban infill, mixed-use, market-rate housing project was designed to incorporate green design as a way of marketing a green lifestyle. It is pending LEED Platinum certification. The design maximizes the opportunities of the mild Southern California climate with a passive cooling strategy using cross-ventilation and thermal convection while taking advantage of the abundantly sunny location. A commitment to minimizing the project's ecological footprint informed all aspects of the design. The main architectural feature of this project is the building's owner-controlled double-façade system. The occupant is able to adjust the operable screens of the building façade as necessary for privacy, views, shading, and thermal comfort. As a result, the facade is virtually redesigned "live" from within, responding to the occupants of the building in real time. The façade also enhances the existing streetscape and promotes a lively pedestrian environment. By visually breaking up the façade into smaller, articulated moving elements, the building appears to move with the passing cars and people. Like many features of the building, the façade is multivalent and rich with meaning, performing several roles for formal, functional, and experiential effect. Location: 751 N.

  • 147 EIGHTH AVENUE HOUSE, Manhattan Built C
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 17, 2009 Designation List No.423 LP-2346 147 EIGHTH AVENUE HOUSE, Manhattan Built c. 1828, architect unknown Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 741, Lot 32 On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the 147 Eighth Avenue House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council, the Society for the Architecture of the City, and Community Board 4. Summary No. 147 Eighth Avenue is one of a pair of highly intact 3 1/2 story Federal style houses constructed 1827 to 1828. It is a rare survivor from the earliest period of development in the area that is now part of Chelsea. No. 147 Eighth Avenue has continuously housed both residential tenants and businesses, reflecting the evolving commercial character of Eighth Avenue. The building was constructed 1828 for Stephen Weeks, who owned the property for a short time. He continued to conduct business at this location, well into the 1840s. Over the course of the centuries, the original storefront configuration of the ground floor has had several alterations; however, this row house, like its neighbor at 145 Eighth Avenue, is intact above its storefront and exhibits the attributes of the Federal style houses of the era. This row house has a steeply pitched roof, with double dormer windows. The building shares a party wall and central chimney with its neighbor, and a façade clad in Flemish bond brickwork.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 22, 2016, Designation List 490 LP-2579 YALE CLUB OF NEW YORK CITY 50 Vanderbilt Avenue (aka 49-55 East 44th Street), Manhattan Built 1913-15; architect, James Gamble Rogers Landmark site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1279, Lot 28 On September 13, 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Yale Club of New York City and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Six people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the Yale Club of New York City, Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, Historic Districts Council, New York Landmarks Conservancy, and the Municipal Art Society of New York. The Real Estate Board of New York submitted written testimony in opposition to designation. State Senator Brad Hoylman submitted written testimony in support of designation. Summary The Yale Club of New York City is a Renaissance Revival-style skyscraper at the northwest corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and East 44th Street. For more than a century it has played an important role in East Midtown, serving the Yale community and providing a handsome and complementary backdrop to Grand Central Terminal. Constructed on property that was once owned by the New York Central Railroad, it stands directly above two levels of train tracks and platforms. This was the ideal location to build the Yale Club, opposite the new terminal, which serves New Haven, where Yale University is located, and at the east end of “clubhouse row.” The architect was James Gamble Rogers, who graduated from Yale College in 1889 and attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris during the 1890s.

  • CENTURY APARTMENTS, 25 Central Park West, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 9, 1985, Designation List 181 LP-1517 CENTURY APARTMENTS, 25 Central Park West, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1931; architect Irwin S. Chanin. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1115, Lot 29. On September 11, 1984, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Century Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Thirteen witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Century Apartments, extending along the entire blockfront of Central Park West between West 62nd Street to West 63rd Street, anchors the southern end of one of New York City's finest residential boulevards. With twin towers rising 300 feet from the street, this building is one of a small group of related structures that help give Central Park West its distinctive silhouette. Designed in 1930 by Irwin S. Chanin of the Chanin Construction Company, the Century Apartments is among the most sophisticated residential Art Deco buildings in New York and is a major work by one of America's pioneering Art Deco designers. Built in 1931, the Century was among the last buildings erected as part of the early 20th-century redevelopment of Central Park West. Central Park West, a continuation of Eighth Avenue, runs along the western edge of Central Park. Development along this prime avenue occurred very slowly , lagging sub­ stantially behind the general development of the Upper West Side.
