    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.

Always on the forefront of technological innovation and innovative space design, they provide interesting experiences for patrons. Today, consumers seek out hotels with unique values, such as cultural and artistic features, that can enhance their trip. The hospitality landscape of cities has changed significantly in recent years: hotels are themselves destinations.

    Prologue The prospective homeowner of One Hundred East Fifty Third Street resists easy categorization. I have personally fielded inquiries from businesspeople who touch down across the planet to long- established couples who are writing the next chapter of their lives in the city. Yet what they all have in common is an eye for detail, an appreciation for cultural experience, and overall sophistication. RFR shares that perspective, which our development projects have proven time and again. The company is held to increasingly rigorous standards as a result of these past achievements, and to that end One Hundred East Fifty Third Street will be the highest- quality residential building we have ever sponsored.

    The New York real estate mogul is building his legacy THE and doesn’t care what anyone has RISE, to say about it. FALL, AND RISE OF 73 BYABY MICHAEL GROSS ROSEN SCREEN PRINT BY CHAD SILVER It’s October and the chairman of one of New York’s top real estate brokerages has slipped out of a cock- tail party at the Four Seasons, the Philip Johnson–designed restaurant in Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, in Midtown Manhattan, to study the travertine-marble wall of what was long called Picasso Alley, connecting its two dining rooms. “But there’s no damage,” she says quizzically, after looking closely at a surface that, last year, was said to be threatened by leaks from the kitchen behind it. There’s more than damage missing from this wall. Also absent is Pablo Picasso, or rather, Le Tricorne, the huge stage curtain he painted in 1919. It hung there from 1959 until 2014, when the building’s owner insisted on removing it, alleging those leaks required immediate repairs. More than a year later, no repairs have been done. But the Four Seasons has been damaged. The owners of the fabled restau- rant will leave next year, and what had been their space—a landmark within a landmark—will be re- furbished. They’ll then be replaced by trendy downtown New York restaurateurs. The Four Seasons name will go elsewhere, too, but its clientele—one of the greatest concentrations of plutocrats and power brokers anywhere—will likely scatter to the four winds.

The heart of the locale’s cultural zeitgeist resides in the East 70s. Joining the iconic 980 Madison Avenue, described as the “epicenter of the New York art world,” are the Carlyle, the Mark Hotel, Sant Ambroeus and Marcel Breuer’s architectural landmark where the Frick Collection will be in residence. The city’s most desirable residential neighborhood is now also an ideal location to establish a family office. Introducing the Collection at 980 Madison Avenue.

  • 100 East 53Rd Street | Aby Rosen
    Sections ! Subscribe Log In See it to believe it: Aby Rosen’s 100 East 53rd is banking on fresh momentum Over three years after launch, the project is trying to woo a new wave of potential buyers By Meenal Vamburkar | January 28, 2019 07:00AM Aby Rosen unveiling 100 East 53rd Street (Credit: iStock, Getty Images, and Foster and Partners) For more than three years, Aby Rosen has been trying to sell his new vision of Midtown. Price tags as steep as $5,000 a square foot will grant you access to his modernist condominium building on a block he’s been working to rebrand. But even with hefty discounts and Rosen’s famed art collection, 100 East 53rd Street has been a hard sell. “There was a time when things were slow,” said Compass’ Leonard Steinberg, who’s marketing the project. Now, the team is hoping the project has reached a turning point: closings have commenced and the scaffolding has come down. With the project closer to completion, they’re banking on buyers needing less imagination to boost sales. “You only believe what’s coming when you see it,” Steinberg said. “Since we’ve been able to get into the building, it has changed everything.” Awash with options, condo buyers in New York City have been in no rush to purchase luxury properties. Add to that incomplete construction and a Midtown location? The sales cycle gets even slower. Prospective buyers often aren’t sold on amenities and living spaces they can’t see for themselves. But now https://therealdeal.com/2019/01/28/see-it-to-believe-it-aby-rosens-100-east-53rd-is-banking-on-fresh-momentum/ 1/28/19, 807 AM Page 1 of 4 that they can see Rosen’s vision, it’s unclear that they’ll buy into it.
