Knowles & Associates, Inc., Los Angeles • Glazing Contractor: Golden State Glass Company, Los Angeles 2 RAY BORING The Avco Financial Tower at Newport Beach soars Building Manager into the California skies in everchanging beauty. Avco Financial Center Many things about the building are gratifyingly predictable, however. The engineering consultants-James A. Knowles & Associates-predicted that the use of Thermopane® insulating units made with Vari­ Tran® coated glass from LOF would save Avco almost $20,000 annually in owning and operating costs when compared to conventional bronze plate glass. Additionally, LOF reflective glass enabled the owner to install smaller fan-coil machinery on the upper 15 floors, thereby gaining more than 6,000 square feet of rental area for the owner. Now, the Avco Financial Tower has won the 1972 Utilization of Energy Award in Southern California, a tribute to sound design and selection of materials that is made more meaningful by the energy crisis that afflicts many parts of the country. An LOF architectural representative can't guarantee that yours will be an award winning building, but he can show you how building owners can conserve on operating costs.

Hansen, April 2004 History Eliel Saarinen, along with his wife Loja, son Eero, daughter Pipsan, and son-in-law J. Robert F. Swanson, founded a creative tradition at Cranbrook that endures to this day. The Saarinens' fame and design philosophies attracted many of the brightest talents in the architectural, design, and planning fields to study at Cranbrook or to work for their businesses --- known variously as Saarinen and Swanson; Saarinen and Saarinen; Saarinen, Swanson, and Saarinen; Swanson Associates; and Eero Saarinen & Associates, depending upon the shifting union of the principals. Recognizing that these associates possessed a wealth of information about the architectural practices of Eliel and Eero Saarinen and the Swansons, the Cranbrook Archives, under the direction of Mark Coir, organized a reunion of more than fifty architects, model makers, draftsmen, and other members of the Saarinen circle at Cranbrook. The reunion, held over the weekend of August 11-13, 1995, was the first concerted attempt to capture recollections in a unified way, and it produced more than eight hours of recorded reminiscences.

  • The Historical Development and Culture of Times Square Relative to Our Buildings
    The Historical Development and Culture Of Times Square Relative to Our Buildings Ryan Richards Alejandro Colmenares Daley Holder Ryan Richards Alejandro Colmenares Daley Holder The Historical Development and Culture Of Times Square Relative to Our Buildings The research topic that our group covered, is how our specific buildings developed along with the development of Times Square in the 20th century. We take a deep look into Times Square as it was developing, as we take a look into specific developments of our theater buildings at the time. We chose these buildings not only because of their age, but because they show the most work being done, while still standing today. It is to show the massive changing of Times Square as these buildings changed whether in practices or image. We, not only as a group, but as a class can see the history of these areas in relation to each other being part of the entertainment scene. Ryan’s process researching his building and Times Square was mixture between difficult, interesting, and substantial. In the beginning of the class my initial research topic was sixth Avenue on the block that has multiple restaurants and hotels, I proposed the idea to both professors and that mixed responses which ultimately led to me developing an interest in the PlayStation theater/the Astor Plaza. Researching this block led to reaching a new level of depth in research. I was able to access databases that the average civilian doesn't have access to. I was taught how to access articles, journals, and historical text all accessed from the computer.

    General Office of Services Inspector Administration General Washington, DC 20405 OCT 291m2 Honorable Gerald P. Carmen Administrator General Services Administration Washington, DC 20405 Dear Mr. Carmen: The following semiannual report of the Office of Inspector General for the period April 1, 1982 through September 30, 1982 is sub­ mitted pursuant to the Inspector General Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-452, Section 5(b). In accordance with the law, you are required to submit this report to the Congress within 30 days, together with any comments you deem appropriate. The report is divided into two parts. The first part describes the major audit and investigative results of the Office of Inspector General for the six month reporting period, and is organized to conform to the specific requirements of the Act. The second part discusses the organization and staffing of the Office of Inspector General and summarizes its operations during the period. Despite staffing cutbacks and an acute shortage of operational travel funds, the Office made significant contributions during this period. We identified a number of major program areas within the General Services Administration which presented opportunities for improving program results with increased economy and efficiency. In these and other program areas, recommendations were made to reduce vul­ nerability to fraud, waste, and abuse. Top management has been both receptive and responsive to our recom­ mendations. Your support has brought us closer to our mutual goal of improved agency operations. Sincerely, /</ "7, , , ~?:~:.X~~ EPH A. SICKON ~nspector General Enclosure EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This six-month period was marked by significant accomplishments in spite of several severe constraints on Office of Inspector General (OIG) activities.
