    Dean *Anthony Vidler to receive ACSA Centennial Award The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) announced today that Anthony Vidler will receive a special Centennial Award at next week’s 100th ACSA Annual Meeting in Boston. Anthony Vidler is Dean and Professor at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union, where he has served since 2001. The Centennial Award was created by the ACSA Board of Directors in recognition of Dean Vidler’s wide ranging contributions to architectural education. Says Judith Kinnard, FAIA, ACSA president: “Anthony Vidler’s teaching and scholarship have had a major impact on architectural education. We invited him to receive this special award during our 100th anniversary and give the keynote lecture because of his extraordinary ability to link current issues in architecture and urbanism to a broad historic trajectory. His work forces us to question our assumptions as we engage contemporary conditions as designers.” Anthony Vidler received his professional degree in architecture from Cambridge University in England, and his doctorate in History and Theory from the University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. Dean Vidler was a member of the Princeton University School of Architecture faculty from 1965 to 1993, serving as the William R. Kenan Jr. Chair of Architecture, the Chair of the Ph.D. Committee, and Director of the Program in European Cultural Studies. In 1993 he took up a position as professor and Chair of the Department of Art History at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a joint appointment in the School of Architecture from 1997.

  • 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22
    HVS International : 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS International, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eighth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. In 2004, the Manhattan lodging market experienced an impressive recovery, with a RevPAR increase of 22% compared to 2003. From March through December of 2004, the market recorded double-digit growth in RevPAR each month, ranging from a high of 41% in April to a low of roundly 17% in October. At 83.2%, overall occupancy reached close to the historical peak achieved in 2000 (at 83.7%) while marketwide average rate was less than 10% below the 2000 level. Occupancy and average rate in 2005 should surpass 2000 levels. Due to limited new supply and increased compression resulting from near-maximum-capacity occupancy levels, overall RevPAR will experience double-digit growth for the next few years. Based on an overall improved economic climate, strong barriers to entry, limited new supply, and increased compression, we forecast the Manhattan lodging market to achieve a robust ±17% RevPAR growth in 2005. HVS International HVS International is a global consulting and services organization focused on the hotel, restaurant, timeshare, gaming, and leisure industries. Its clients rely on the firm’s specialized industry knowledge and expertise for advice and services geared to enhance economic returns and asset value. Through a network of 23 offices staffed by more than 200 seasoned industry professionals, HVS offers a wide scope of services that track the development/ownership process.
