    Israel Through the Lens of New York City

    Letter from Hope Chernak, RJE [email protected] Dear Educator, Just over six months, I started working on my final project for the Center for Israel Education’s Certificate Program in Israel Education. My main goal was to go out into New York City and see where I could find places that represent Israel to help with my educational program for Youth and Israel Education at Shaaray Tefila. My planning included looking for specific places such as a museum or the Consulate General of Israel to everyday places such a flag in front of a major department store or a restaurant. After collecting all the these items, I created a guide for a person or a group to explore New York City at their own pace to ,uncover some of the incredible ways Israel is portrayed in New York City. Many of locations are obvious while other locations and places will take an explorer through a deeper examination of how Israel has found its way into the city. the You and/or participants will become explorers of New York City using a different lens. You will be walking the streets of New York City not as a tourist, but as a seeker of how Israel is connected today, in 2016 with a city in the Diaspora. , This document includes ready to go activities (e.g. museum scavenger hunt), program logistics, background material and overall project rationale (which was based on other projects I created for Shaaray Tefila’s Informal Education program and adapted for this project). This resource is a work in progress as new places pop up and others close down in NYC.

    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.

  • Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character

    Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character

    Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION As defined by the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is considered to be a combination of the many elements that creates each neighborhood’s distinct personality. These elements include land use, urban design, visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomics, traffic, and noise, as well as the other physical or social characteristics that help to describe the community. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an assessment of neighborhood character is generally needed when the action would exceed preliminary thresholds in any one of the following areas of technical analysis: land use, urban design and visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomic conditions, transportation, or noise. An assessment is also appropriate when the action would have moderate effects on several of the aforementioned areas. Potential effects on neighborhood character may include: • Land Use. Development resulting from a proposed action could alter neighborhood character if it introduced new land uses, conflicts with land use policy or other public plans for the area, changes land use character, or generates significant land use impacts. • Socioeconomic Conditions. Changes in socioeconomic conditions have the potential to affect neighborhood character when they result in substantial direct or indirect displacement or addition of population, employment, or businesses; or substantial differences in population or employment density. • Historic Resources. When an action would result in substantial direct changes to a historic resource or substantial changes to public views of a resource, or when a historic resource analysis identified a significant impact in this category, there is a potential to affect neighborhood character. • Urban Design and Visual Resources.
