  • February 1, 2018 Hon. Meenakshi Srinivasan, Chair New York City
    February 1, 2018 Hon. Meenakshi Srinivasan, Chair New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission One Centre Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10007 Re: 140 Broadway, Marine Midland Building; LPC-19-20734; Block 48 - Lot 1 Dear Chair Srinivasan, I write on behalf of The Cultura Landscape Foundation (TCLF) to express strong opposition to the proposed changes to the plaza at 140 Broadway and, by extension, the Marine Midland Building. Having reviewed details and renderings of the proposal now under review by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, it is clear that the redesign of the plaza would adversely affect the integrity of what has been designated a New York City Landmark. In fact, pending the outcome of your deliberations, TCLF has officially recognized the site as now being at risk. As you know, 140 Broadway was designed between 1960 and 1964 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill under the direction of Gordon Bunshaft, the firm’s chief architect, and was one of the first projects to conform to the 1961 Zoning Resolution that incentivized developers to incorporate public plazas into their office-building plans. To complete the design for the 80-foot-wide plaza fronting Broadway on the site’s western flank, Bunshaft turned to celebrated artist Isamu Noguchi, with whom he would collaborate many times. The result was the iconic Red Cube, the 28-foot-tall vermillion sculpture that seems to defy gravity as it teeters on one edge, meant to be the solitary feature on the otherwise uninterrupted ground plane. While five low planters were placed along Cedar Street, to the south, the plaza facing Broadway was left free of any landscape embellishments or site furnishings, making it, in effect, an expansive travertine plinth for the minimalist sculpture.

  • Client Service and Attention Drive Carl Schipfmann's
    CLIENT SERVICE AND ATTENTION DRIVE CARL SCHIPFMANN’S LEADERSHIP Schipfmann takes responsibility for HNTB’s reputation when delivering bridge projects to clients. Whether you are his client, supervisor, coworker or friend, Carl Schipfmann is going to present you with his genuine self. With a reputation as a dynamic leader, Schipfmann dedicates himself to his projects by embedding himself into their intricate, day-to-day details. Schipfmann is a veteran bridge project manager in the Kansas City office whose expertise includes bridge design, inspection and construction administration. He currently serves on the Kansas City design team that is working on the cable-stayed unit of the Kosciuszko Bridge Replacement, a New York City design-build project replacing the bridge spanning New Town Creek between Brooklyn and Queens. He has served HNTB on many bridge-related design projects over the past 22 years, and has provided shop drawing review and answered requests for information to provide clarification on numerous projects, all within schedule constraints. “Carl loves to get in and get his hands dirty with the design,” said Marc Whitmore, project CARL schipFMANN PROJECT MANAGER manager in the Kansas City office. “He thrives on the challenge of figuring out how to KANSAS CITY OFFICE design and build different components of his projects and really shines when handling technical issues.” DETAIL-ORIENTED LEADERSHIP Schipfmann’s bridge teams seem to respond well to his leadership style, which is as much relationship-oriented as anything else. Rather than listening to him bark out orders, his teams become closely knit while learning from the example of his attention to detail and dedication to client service.
