  • Megablock Urbanism Rockefeller Center Reconsidered New York, NY USA
    Columbia University GSAPP AAD Summer 2015 Critic: Jeffrey Johnson [email protected] TA: Jiteng Yang [email protected] Megablock Urbanism Rockefeller Center Reconsidered New York, NY USA Rockefeller Center - Original Design in 1931 Image: wirednewyork.com Intro: The world continues to urbanize, in many regions at an astonishing pace, and we as architects must find ways to intervene in its physical metamorphosis. We are for the first time in history more urban than rural. Existing cities are expanding and new ones are being formed without historic precedent. How we continue to urbanize is of huge consequence. And, how we understand this phenomenon is critical to our ability to participate in the future urbanization of the world. This means we must invent new ways of thinking about cities and be agile enough to continuously modify and/or discard even the most recently developed theories and strategies. What possible socially and ecologically sustainable solutions can be invented for accommodating future urban growth? What role does architecture play in these newly formed megacities? 1 AAD Studio Summer 2015 - Johnson Superblock / Megablock: For many cities around the world, large-scale superblock development provides the default solution for accommodating urban growth. Superblocks, in their contemporary form, are byproducts of modernism – from Le Corbusier; to Soviet microrayons; to Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasilia; to Mao’s danwei (factory units); to Steven Holl’s Linked Hybrid in Beijing. Varying in size from 8 hectares to over 50 hectares, with populations from 1,000’s to over 100,000, superblocks are spatial instruments with social, cultural, environmental, and economic implications, operating between the scales of architecture and the city.

    P-1e–i Commas Used for Other Purposes Insert commas wherever necessary in the following sentences. If a sentence is correct as given, write correct. Answers to even-numbered items can be found at the back of the book. EXAMPLE When Tina Fey joined the writing team on Saturday Night Live, you may be surprised to know, ^ ^ she was the only woman on the team. 1. Tina Fey was born on May 18 1970 in Upper Darby Pennsylvania. 2. After years of training in comedy at Chicago’s Second City theater company, Fey was hired in 1997 as a writer for Saturday Night Live. 3. October 11 2006 was another important date in Fey’s life: the pilot on NBC for the situation comedy 30 Rock. 4. The characters and plot lines of 30 Rock as most of the show’s fans know grew out of Fey’s experiences at Saturday Night Live. 5. The title of the show of course is the nickname for the GE Building, home to NBC Studios in New York City. NBC’s complete address is 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York NY 10112. 6. Episodes of 30 Rock were shot however at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City New York, in the borough of Queens. 7. When Vanity Fair magazine asked Fey for her motto in May 2011, she answered “Stop reaching for the stars!” At the time, Fey had been writing, acting, producing, and caring for her first child. Her answer suggests that she was tired doesn’t it? 8. In a typical line on 30 Rock, Liz Lemon says “Check this out Jack.

  • Rainbow Room Reopens at Top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza
    Rainbow Room reopens at top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sunday, October 5, 2014, 9:43 PM 1 | 4 Chefs prepare a lavish spread of food before lunchtime guests arrive at the Rainbow Room atop 30 Rockefeller Plaza on Sunday. (MARK LENNIHAN/AP) The Rainbow Room reopened Sunday in its historic perch atop 30 Rockefeller Plaza after a five-year absence from the New York City skyline. “It’s breathtaking,” guest Jamie Greenwald, one of more than 200 brunch guests who took in the sweeping views outside and the significant improvements inside the 80-year-old establishment whose floors have been walked across by Cole Porter, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Al Pacino, Barbra Streisand and Muhammad Ali. Herb roasted Amish chicken, oysters, shrimp, honeybaked Benton ham, Yorkshire pudding and chicken and black truffle pot pies were among dozens of delicacies awaiting the luncheon crowd in a spread created by Executive Chef Jonathan Wright. “It’s like opening night!” Keith Douglas, a managing director of the real estate company Tishman Speyer — Rockefeller Center’s owner and manager — gushed as dozens of workers rushed about, putting finishing touches on the refurbished venue an hour before guests began arriving. Friends Matthew Eisentraut (left) and Jamie Greenwald pose for a photograph with a view of the Empire State Building at the Rainbow Room. (MARK LENNIHAN/AP) The sunny clear blue sky offered no chance for rainbows this day through windows that were enlarged by as much as 25 percent during an extensive renovation designed by Gabellini Sheppard Associates. The architectural firm also created SixtyFive, a new cocktail lounge adjacent to Rainbow Room that for the first time next year when the weather warms will permit guests to order drinks on a previously vacant outdoor terrace.
