Preservation Organizations *{o ,s1cl?at c o \ Y Y %on oo ^"$ February3,2004 Hon. RobertTierney Chair, New York City LandmarksPreselation Commission One Centle Street,9t" floor New York, NY 10007 Dear Chail Tierney: I am writing on behalf of the Municipal Art Societyto expresssupport for the considerationof Village/SilverTowers complex and superblock, 100 and 110Bleecker Street and 505 LaGuardia Placein GreenwichVillage asNew York City landmarks. This complexis significant as an exampleof post-warrenewal and universityredevelopment and shouldbe consideredfor New York City Landmarkdesignation for its typological,canonic, historical, and technologicalmerit. Completedrn 1966,the complexis an outstandingand rare exampleof post-warurban renewal, universityplanling, andpublic housingintersecting in a sculpturaltotality. The pinwheel arrangementof the threesuperblocks reflects a shift fi'om the superblocksof the 1950sto the morecontext-sensitive designs of the later60s and 70s. Despitethe grandscale of the project, sensitivityto the immediatecontext and a humanscale is achievedby interweavingnearby streetswith pedestrianwalkways. The sculpturalconcrete and glassfacades ale enhancedby the focal point of the plaza,Portrait of Sylvette,by Carl Nesjar,who collaboratedwith Pablo Picasso to reinterpretPicasso's original 2-foot tali sculptureinto a thirty-six foot high, six-foot sculpture. Designedby Pritzker prize-winningarchitect I.M. Pei, the superblockcomplex reflects developrnentof sculpturalexpression and sensitivityto the user found in his iater work, and was influential for pre-eminentarchitects such asRichard Meier and PeterEisenmann. Upon its corrpletion,University Village won severalawards, including the American lnstitute of AlchitectsNational Honor Award and City Club of New York's Alberl S. Bard Award. The complexwas also includedin FortuneMagazine's 1966 list of "Ten Buildings that Climax an Era." Teclinologically,tire three3O-story coucrete and glasstowers are one of New York's most outstandingexamples of cast-in-p1aceconcrete alchitectrlre, a constructionmetirod that is rarely usedtoday.

The National Trust hasa stronginterest in havingthe Silver Towers designatedas a New York City Landmark. Designedby leadingarchitect I.M. Pei in 1964,the building is a striking exampleof moderndesign, including a large outdoorPicasso sculpture, landscaping and outdoor furniture. Equally importantis its setting,as a "superblock"designed to be integratedwith the surroundingstreetscape yet meetthe needsof an importanturban institution, New York University. The structureis a model for context-sensitiveyet innovativeurban renewal. We recognizethe difficulty oftentimesexperienced in classifyinga "modern" structureas "historic".

Plus de soixante-dix institutions ont imaginé ensemble une programmation autour de l’oeuvre « obstinément méditerranéenne » de Pablo Picasso. À l’initiative du Musée national Picasso-Paris, ce parcours dans la création de l’artiste et dans les lieux qui l’ont inspiré offre une expérience culturelle inédite, souhaitant resserrer les liens entre toutes les rives.

MP226 © RMN-Grand Palais / Adrien Didierjean © Succession Picasso 2019 L’exposition Picasso et la famille explore les rapports de Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) à la notion de noyau familial, depuis la maternité jusqu’aux jeux enfantins, depuis l’image d’une intimité conceptuelle à l’expérience multiple d’une paternité sous les feux des projecteurs. Réunissant dessins, gravures, peintures et sculptures, l’exposition survole soixante-dix-sept ans de création, entre 1895 et 1972, au travers d’une sélection d’œuvres marquant des points d’orgue dans la longue vie familiale et sentimentale de l’artiste et dont la variété des formes illustre la réinvention constante du vocabulaire artistique de Picasso.

  • IBO New York City Independent Budget Office
    New York City Independent Budget Office Fiscal Brief IBO November 2007 The Mayor’s New Housing Marketplace Plan: Progress to Date And Prospects for Completion Summary version Of this report... THE NEW HOUSING MARKETPLACE PLAN (NHMP) is Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s 10-year plan to create or preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing. The original five-year Mayor’s Housing plan, announced in 2003, called for 65,000 units by 2008, but was expanded in February 2006 to a 10-year plan, ending in 2013, with a goal of 165,000 units. Plan: Progress to Date, Prospects for Completion The plan set specific targets in terms of construction of new units and preservation of existing ones, rental and ownership units, and by level of household income. The plan calls for 55 percent, ... at www.ibo.nyc.ny.us or nearly 92,000 units, of new construction and for preservation of another 73,000 units—45 percent of the total. Roughly reflecting the current rate of homeownership in the city, the plan envisions that approximately 30 percent of units will be ownership, and 70 percent rental. In terms of income groups served, the goal of the NHMP over 10 years is to make 68 percent of the units affordable to low-income households (defined as income less than or equal to 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI)—currently $39,700 for a single person or $56,700 for a family of four). Another 11 percent of the units are to be for moderate-income households, which includes incomes between 80 percent and 120 percent of AMI (up to $85,080 for a family of four), and 21 percent for middle-income households, which includes income greater than 120 percent of AMI up to generally no more than 250 percent of AMI.

Picasso and Nesjar’s works will not be destroyed: The Fishermen, made for the Y Building’s brutalist facade, will be shown elsewhere in the Regjeringskvartalet government complex; The Seagull, originally located in the lobby, will be stored. Eventually, both works will be installed in the Y Building’s new glass replacement. Ostensibly, the Y Building, nicknamed after its shape and built for the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, is being replaced due to damage it sustained on 22 July 2011, when far-right terrorist Anders Breivik detonated a bomb nearby, killing eight people, before murdering 69 people at a Workers’ Youth League summer camp on Utøya island. Since then, the building has been vacant, despite only suffering light cosmetic damage. The government claims the structure is unsafe as it stands directly above a traffic tunnel – but the resonance of demolishing the building after the attack has been widely noted.

  • The People, Through Their Elected Representatives, Have Supported the Commission in Fulfilling Its Mission to Protect the City's Heritage
    The people, through their elected representatives, have supported the commission in fulfilling its mission to protect the city's heritage. For many decades the commission has met the clarion call of the landmarks law: “as a matter of public policy . the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of improvements and landscape features of special character or special historical or aesthetic interest or value is a public necessity and is required in the interest of the health, prosperity, safety and welfare of the people.” We firmly believe that historic preservation still has an important role in fostering the livable city today Losing Its Way The Landmarks Preservation Commission in Eclipse A Report by the Preservation Committee of The City Club of New York March 2018 Losing Its Way The Landmarks Preservation Commission in Eclipse A Report by the Preservation Committee of The City Club of New York The City Club of New York has serious concerns about how the Landmarks Preservation Commission interprets and carries out its mission. Looking at a series of recent decisions, we have to question whether the commission as currently functioning considers historic preservation, at least preservation as understood by New Yorkers, to be in the public interest. We begin with a fundamental question: who, or what, is the client of the Landmarks Commission? The owner of a designated property? The landmark itself? The public? First and foremost, the principal client of the LPC must be the landmark itself. Is this building, site, or district worthy of designation? If so, how best shall it be protected? The commission must act on behalf of the historic city.
