  • Lower Manhattan Public Art Offers Visitors Grand, Open-Air Museum Experience
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Maria Alvarado, (212) 835.2763, [email protected] LOWER MANHATTAN PUBLIC ART OFFERS VISITORS GRAND, OPEN-AIR MUSEUM EXPERIENCE Works by Dubuffet, Koons and Naguchi are among the 14 unique installations featured South of Chambers Street (February 23, 2015) – With more than a dozen masterpieces from world-renowned artists, Lower Manhattan is home to a remarkable and inspiring public art program. The works of art are now featured in a new walking tour itinerary curated by the Downtown Alliance, “Lower Manhattan by Public Art.” The full tour can be found on the Alliance’s website at http://downtownny.com/walkingtours. The walking tour begins at the district’s northernmost edge at 1 Police Plaza, across from City Hall. Here, visitors will find 5-in-1 by Tony Rosenthal. The artist’s work of five interlocking steel discs, rising to a height of 35 feet, represents the five boroughs coming together as one city. Additional pieces of art featured are: Shadows and Flags by Louise Nevelson (William Street between Maiden Lane and Liberty Street) Seven pieces bundled together as a singular abstract unit alludes to the wafting flags, ceremonious spirals, and blooming trees that define the New York City landscape. Group of Four Trees by Jean Dubuffet (28 Liberty Street) The “four trees” are created by a series of intertwined irregular planes, which lean in different directions and are connected by thick black outlines. The piece is part of Dubuffet’s “L’Hourloupe” cycle — a bold, graphic style inspired by a doodle. Sunken Garden by Isamu Noguchi (28 Liberty Street) In the winter, the garden, set one story below ground level, is a dry circular expanse; in the summer, it is transformed into a giant water fountain.

  • Chapter 5. Historic Resources 5.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.

  • 1 Principles and Preliminary Blueprint For
    PRINCIPLES AND PRELIMINARY BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE OF LOWER MANHATTAN When New York City was attacked on September 11, 2001, the United States and the democratic ideals upon which it was founded were also attacked. The physical damage New York City sustained was devastating and the human toll was immeasurable. But New York does not bear the loss alone. In the aftermath of September 11, the entire nation has embraced New York, and we have responded by vowing to rebuild our City – not as it was, but better than it was before. Although we can never replace what was lost, we must remember those who perished, rebuild what was destroyed, and renew Lower Manhattan as a symbol of our nation’s resilience. This is the mission of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. The LMDC, a subsidiary of Empire State Development, was formed by the Governor and Mayor as a joint State-City Corporation to oversee the revitalization of Lower Manhattan south of Houston Street. LMDC works in cooperation with the Port Authority and all of the stakeholders in Lower Manhattan to coordinate long-term planning for the World Trade Center site and surrounding communities while concurrently pursuing initiatives to improve the quality of life. The task before us is immense. Our most important priority is to create a permanent memorial on the World Trade Center site that appropriately honors those who were lost, while reaffirming the democratic ideals that came under attack on September 11. Millions of people will journey to Lower Manhattan each year to visit what will be a national memorial in an area steeped in historical significance and filled with cultural treasures – including the Statute of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Ridpath The Box of Stars, Tenant Introduction In ancient times, people believed the Earth was immobile and surrounded by a sphere to which the stars were attached. This Celestial Sphere would revolve about the Earth once each day, carrying the stars along with it. While today we know the Earth is the object that moves, it is still convenient to describe the sky in this manner for the purpose of determining the positions of objects in the sky (a science called astrometry). We will use a model Celestial Sphere (and other sky charts) to describe the positions and appearances of various stars and constellations. We will also evaluate when certain objects will be visible in our night sky from our location.
