    Michele Oka Doner Strategic Misbehavior Michele Oka Doner Contents Introduction Ai Kato 7 Strategic Misbehavior Deborah Rothschild 9 Artwork Michele Oka Doner 23 Biography 56 Exhibition Checklist 57 Introduction Tower 49 Gallery is honored to present a provocative installation by Michele Oka Doner. Strategic Misbehavior converts Tower 49’s corporate environment into a theatrical stage set with fantastical elements inspired by the natural world. I was first introduced to the work of Michele Oka Doner at a private sale exhibition, The Shaman’s Hut, at Christie’s in November of 2015. I was taken with the fine delicacy and elegance Michele consistently mastered throughout five decades of work. My second encounter with Michele’s work was A Walk on the Beach, a site- specific art installation at the Miami International Airport, consisting of cast bronzes including seaweed, shells, stems, and assorted aquatic forms. Michele transformed a busy commuter atmosphere into a walk along the shores of Miami. Glancing at the ground, travelers were mesmerized to discover ethereal, golden, natural motifs guiding them through the airport. Michele expertly imbues urban and cold settings with a serene and whimsical ambience, calming viewers and striking intrigue with art in unlikely spaces. I was eager for Michele to grace Tower 49 Gallery with the feeling of discovering nature in a concrete jungle. Tower 49 Gallery is an art exhibition space, but also serves as a public access way and lobby space for Tower 49 offices and tenants. I anticipate that all who enter Tower 49 will explore and engage Michele’s mythical, mystical creatures, reliefs,and photographs–all inspired by the natural world.

  • Chapter 5: Shadows
    Chapter 5: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the detailed shadow study that was conducted to determine whether the proposed One Vanderbilt development would cast any new shadows on sunlight-sensitive resources. Sunlight-sensitive resources can include parks, playgrounds, residential or office plazas, and other publicly accessible open spaces; sunlight-dependent features of historic resources; and important natural features such as water bodies. Since the preparation of the shadow analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the height of the proposed One Vanderbilt development was increased. The shadow analysis in this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been revised to reflect this change including Figures 5-1 to 5-22 and 5-27. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This analysis compared shadows that would be cast by the proposed One Vanderbilt development, which would be built to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 30, with those that would be cast by the 15 FAR building that would be developed absent the proposed actions (the 15 FAR No-Action building). As described below, the analysis concluded that the proposed 30 FAR One Vanderbilt development would cast new shadows on Bryant Park, the west windows of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse and several other sunlight-sensitive resources. However, the new shadows would be limited in extent, duration and effects and would not result in any significant adverse shadow impacts, as demonstrated in detail below. B. DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY This analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQR procedures and follows the guidelines of the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. DEFINITIONS Incremental shadow is the additional, or new, shadow that a structure resulting from a project would cast on a sunlight-sensitive resource.

  • 4. Open Space
    East Midtown Rezoning and Related Actions FEIS 4. Open Space 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential effects on open space that could result from the Proposed Action. Open space is defined as publicly or privately owned land that is publicly accessible and operates, functions, or is available for leisure, play, or sport, or set aside for the protection and/or enhancement of the natural environment. Open space that is used for sports, exercise, or active play is classified as active, while open space that is used for relaxation, such as sitting or strolling, is classified as passive. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an analysis of open space is conducted to determine whether a proposed action would have a direct impact resulting from the elimination or alteration of open space and/or an indirect impact resulting from overtaxing available open space. The Proposed Action would rezone an area encompassing approximately 70 blocks in the East Midtown area of Manhattan to establish the East Midtown Subdistrict within the Midtown Special District. Under the reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS), the Proposed Action would result in approximately 10,340,972 gross square feet (gsf) of office floor area, 648,990 gsf of retail floor area, 2,134,234 gsf of hotel floor area, 207,029 gsf of residential floor area, as well as 140,200 gsf of parking floor area. Compared to the No-Action condition, the RWCDS would result in a net increase in the number of employees and a net decrease in the number of residents. Therefore, in accordance with CEQR guidelines, the open space analysis of the Proposed Action evaluated the change in non-residential population relative to the total amount of passive open space in the study area; while active open spaces were identified, these open spaces were not included in the analysis because non-residents, specifically workers, tend to use passive open spaces.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Off ce Market 3 RD QUARTER 2016 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 200 Park Avenue South Looking Ahead Tax Plan Proposal Could Potentially Help Leveraged RE Firms An emerging tax plan proposed by Republican candidate Donald Trump could reportedly benef t debt-laden real estate companies by coupling 2-policies — letting businesses deduct interest and allowing expensing, or immediate write-offs, for investments in equipment and buildings. The proposal would “provide negative tax rates for investments f nanced with debt, creating incentives for companies to pursue projects that wouldn’t make sense economically without the tax benef ts.” Currently tax law requires businesses to spread the deductions over multiple years, but under Trump’s proposed plan “a business would be able to generate signif cant losses in the f rst year of an investment and then generate ongoing interest deductions. Those losses could be carried forward and used to offset future income.” It is reportedly the intended goal of the tax plan, which is still a work-in-progress, to “tie expensing to job creation and new investment and not, for example, purchases of existing leveraged real estate portfolios,” according to reported comments by a Trump advisor. Interest Deductions: The pairing of an end to interest deductions and expensing is typically done to prevent giving an extra subsidy according to some sources, however it is anticipated that the taking away of interest deductibility would make it hard for businesses to capitalize; and with that in mind Trump had proposed an unspecif ed “reasonable cap” in an earlier proposed tax plan.

  • Chapter 7: Urban Design and Visual Resources
    Chapter 7: Urban Design and Visual Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential of the proposed actions to impact urban design and visual resources. As defined in the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, urban design is the totality of components that may affect a pedestrian’s experience of public space. A visual resource can include views of the waterfront, public parks, landmark structures or districts, or otherwise distinct buildings, and natural resources. The following analysis considers a 400-foot study area around the proposed Vanderbilt Corridor which includes the One Vanderbilt site. The study area considers where the proposed actions would be most likely to influence land use patterns and the built environment (see Figures 7-1 and 7-2).1 This analysis also considers longer views to the One Vanderbilt site, including views along West 42nd Street, from Bryant Park, and from Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City, Queens. This analysis addresses the urban design and visual resources of the study area for existing conditions, the future without the proposed actions (the No-Action Condition), and the future with the proposed actions (With-Action Condition) for the 2021 Build year, when the proposed One Vanderbilt development is expected to be completed and occupied. Based on the CEQR Technical Manual, a preliminary assessment of urban design and visual resources is appropriate when there is the potential for a pedestrian to observe, from the street level, a physical alteration beyond that allowed by existing zoning. Examples include projects that permit the modification of yard, height, and setback requirements, and projects that result in an increase in built floor area beyond what would be allowed “as‐of‐right” or in the No-Action condition.

  • Chapter 4: Open Space
    Chapter 4: Open Space A. INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential impacts of the proposed actions on open space resources in the area surrounding the One Vanderbilt site. Open space is defined by the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual as publicly accessible, publicly or privately owned land that is available for leisure, play, or sport, or serves to protect or enhance the natural environment. The CEQR Technical Manual guidelines indicate that an open space analysis should be conducted if an action would result in a direct effect, such as the physical loss or alteration of public open space, or an indirect effect, such as when a substantial new population could place added demand on an area’s open spaces. The proposed actions would facilitate the development of an approximately 1.8 million-gross- square-foot (gsf), (1,299,390-zoning-square-foot [zsf]), 30.0 floor area ratio (FAR) building (the proposed One Vanderbilt development) on a site owned by Green 317 Madison LLC (317 Madison). The proposed One Vanderbilt development would contain a mix of uses including office, trading floors, retail, restaurant, transit access, a transit hall at ground level, and rooftop amenity space, and would utilize floor area bonuses pursuant to the Grand Central Public Realm Improvement and landmark transfer special permits. As part of the proposed One Vanderbilt development, 317 Madison would provide the improvements to the Vanderbilt Avenue public place dedicated to pedestrian uses. The proposed One Vanderbilt development would result in the introduction of commercial uses that would substantially increase the non-residential population in the area.

  • Spring Mills Building
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 13, 2010, Designation List 428 LP-2385 SPRINGS MILLS BUILDING, 104 West 40th Street (aka 102-106 West 40th Street, 107-115 West 39th Street), Manhattan Built 1961-63; Harrison & Abramovitz, architects, Charles H. Abbe, chief designer Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 815, Lot 21 On November 17, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Springs Mills Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the owner, New York State Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, the Historic Districts Council, and Docomomo New York/Tri-State. Summary The Springs Mills Building is a 21-story office tower located in midtown Manhattan on a mid-block site, close to Bryant Park and just south of Times Square. Constructed in 1961-63 for a leading American textile manufacturer, it rises from an irregular L-shaped lot that connects West 39th and 40th Streets. At the time of construction, many businesses associated with the textile industry were migrating from lower Manhattan to the Garment District. Springs Cotton Mills was founded in 1914, when Leroy Springs assumed control of the Fort Mill Manufacturing Company. A New York sales office was established by 1946 and in subsequent years the company became the largest producer of sheets and pillow cases in the United States. Harrison & Abramovitz, who designed many notable buildings following the Second World War, served as architect.
