  • Adventure Playground: Essentially, to a Place of Pleasure—That Today It Surrounds Us, Everywhere, Having Quietly John V
    The city’s onscreen prominence is so taken for granted today that it is hard to imagine that as late as 1965, the last year of Robert F. Wagner’s mayoralty, New York hardly appeared in films at all. That year, only two features were shot substantially in the city: The Pawnbroker, an early landmark in the career of veteran New York director Sidney Lumet, and A Thousand Clowns, directed by Fred Coe, which used extensive location work to “open up” a Broadway stage hit of a few years earlier by the playwright Herb Gardner. The big change came with Wagner’s successor, John V. Lindsay—who, soon after taking office in 1966, made New York the first city in history to encourage location filmmaking: establishing a simple, one-stop permit process through a newly created agency (now called the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting), creating a special unit of the Police Department to assist filmmakers, and ordering all city agencies and departments to cooperate with producers and directors (1). The founding of the Mayor’s Film Office—the first agency of its kind in the world—remains to this day one of the Lindsay administration’s signal achievements, an innovation in governance which has been replicated by agencies or commissions in almost every city and state in the Union, and scores of countries and provinces around the world. In New York, it helped to usher in a new industry, now generating over five billion dollars a year in economic activity and bringing work to more than 100,000 New Yorkers: renowned directors and stars, working actors and technicians, and tens of thousands of men and women employed by supporting businesses—from equipment rental houses, to scenery shops, to major studio complexes that now rival those of Southern California.

  • COURSE OBJECTIVES Moving Beyond the Scale of a Single Individual, Design 7 Seeks to Address Architectural Issues at an Urban Scale
    URBAN VIEWING | 1 COURSE OBJECTIVES Moving beyond the scale of a single individual, Design 7 seeks to address architectural issues at an urban scale. This project examines a New York City block in the Hell’s Kitchen area just east of the Hudson River. The site, shown in Figure 1a below, exists between 10th and 11th Avenue and between West 53rd and 54th Street. It follows New York City’s rectilinear grid, establishing a block with an area of 1,600 square feet (200 x 800 ft). To the West lies the Hudson River, directly across 11th Avenue is DeWitt Clinton Park, and the Manhattan skyline extends to the North. This project proposes rethinking what it means to inhabit both the immediate site and the larger context of New York as both a viewer and a participant. Through an emphasis on the notion of viewing and juxtaposition of traditional building programs, architecture is able to form and transform experiences and relationships between individuals. Figure 1a. Satellite image of site, highlighted in green Figures 1b, 1c and 1d. Site analyses A major challenge proposed through the project is how one begins to start breaking down the immense scale of the site. Site analyses, like the ones seen in Figures 1b, 1c and 1d, draw important lines from surrounding edifices and landmarks, emphasizing their influences on the site and circulation. Maintaining views to the water and to important surrounding structures reduces the scale of the block as each edge reflects a unique condition. The writings of Jane URBAN VIEWING | 2 Jacobs are considered in the project as her notions of “eyes on the street” and “breaking down the block” increase the permeability and transparency of the site.
