BRICK CONSTRUCTION 290 MULBERRY New York, NY BRICK CONSTRUCTION 290 MULBERRY New York, NY Architect: SHoP Architects Client/Owner/Developer: Cardinal Real Estate Investments Structural Engineer: Robert Silman Associates MEP Engineer: Laszlo Bodak Engineer General Contractor: KISKA Group 290 Mulberry Street is a 27,000 square foot combined residential and commercial building constructed in 2008. The building’s 12 floors in- clude a ground floor retail space, 8 full floor resi- dences and a three story rooftop penthouse apart- ment. View from North Ground Floor Retail North View of Penthouse View from South INTRODUCTION M127 Porter House SHoP Architects, the New York based firm that designed 290 Mulberry was founded in 1996 by a group by five principles: Christopher Sharples, Coren Sharples, William Sharples, Kimberly Holden and Gregg Pasquarelli. Today the firm employees sixty designers and staff who collectively bring a wide range of back- grounds to the practice from English to Fine Arts to Engineering. The firm actively seeks this diversity with the belief that is contributes to their ability to pro- duce innovative solutions to unique design challenges. Despite being a young firm, they have already won the 2010 Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Award, the 2009 National Design Award for Architecture Design. They have completed many notable projects including commercial, cultural and institutional proj- ects as well several other nearby Manhattan based residential projects including the Porter House and M127 condominiums. Proposed and Completed Projects by SHoP.

The neighborhood is bordered by Little Italy to the south, the East Village to the north, Soho to the west and the Lower East Side to the east. The buildings in the immediate area include many older masonry buildings such as the historically significant Puck Building located across the street at 285 Lafayette Street and the DeVinne Press Building located three blocks North on Lafayette Street and East 4th Street. Former occupation of site NEARBY BRICK BUILDINGS Typical Nolita City Block Devinne Press Building Puck Building Adjacent Brick Building INTRODUCTION The design process at SHoP was tested and altered as a result of this project. Because 290 Mulberry falls within a special zoning district, code require- ments mandated that it be clad in masonry along all street facing facades. This same zoning requirement also included a code parameter that allowed the plane of the building envelope to be broken at 10 percent for every 100 feet. Although originally intended for classical ornamentation, SHoP manipulated it to create an entirely new form based on restrictions intended for the preservation of traditional ones. The challenge of most effectively manipulating the code parameter to produce this innovative facade required an integrated approach to design as well as a new set of tools. From the earliest stages, the architects, fabricators and construction teams worked together with the goal of producing a building whose material choices and construction methods mached it’s architectural rigor. Within the firm, new computer programs including BIM, Revit and parametric software were uti- lized to test and create various innovative forms with bricks. The final result of these efforts was a curtain wall of L-shaped brick-faced concrete panels. The brick patterning was allowed to move forward and backward on the panels to create undulations. The code parameter was employed to create the spacing between each of the panels. The result is a unique building without precedent whose facade pays homage to it’s neighbors through the use of brick, while presenting an entirely new articula- tion of form. Photo: Building Facade Photo: Close-up brick panel Rendering: Building Facade INTRODUCTION Parametric software was used to test Panel layout generated throughout and create forms. Test panels were parametric design. then produced through digital fabrica- tion One objective of the facade was to maximize the undulating pattern of the brick while minimizing the thick- ness to reduce the weight of the load on the frame of the building. Each brick is limited to move only 3/4” beyond it’s neighboring brick. The concrete which supports the brick is carved out on the back where pos- sible to reduce weight load.

  • Old Buildings, New Views Recent Renovations Around Town Have Uncovered Views of Manhattan That Had Been Hiding in Plain Sight
    The New York Times: Real Estate May 7, 2021 Old Buildings, New Views Recent renovations around town have uncovered views of Manhattan that had been hiding in plain sight. By Caroline Biggs Impressions: 43,264,806 While New York City’s skyline is ever changing, some recent construction and additions to historic buildings across the city have revealed some formerly hidden, but spectacular, views to the world. These views range from close-up looks at architectural details that previously might have been visible only to a select few, to bird’s-eye views of towers and cupolas that until The New York Times: Real Estate May 7, 2021 recently could only be viewed from the street. They provide a novel way to see parts of Manhattan and shine a spotlight on design elements that have largely been hiding in plain sight. The structures include office buildings that have created new residential spaces, like the Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan; historic buildings that have had towers added or converted to create luxury housing, like Steinway Hall on West 57th Street and the Waldorf Astoria New York; and brand-new condo towers that allow interesting new vantages of nearby landmarks. “Through the first decades of the 20th century, architects generally had the belief that the entire building should be designed, from sidewalk to summit,” said Carol Willis, an architectural historian and founder and director of the Skyscraper Museum. “Elaborate ornament was an integral part of both architectural design and the practice of building industry.” In the examples that we share with you below, some of this lofty ornamentation is now available for view thanks to new residential developments that have recently come to market.

  • Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans
    Renewing Renewal: Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Caroline Thompson May 2020 Abstract Communities impacted by urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century were largely unable to stop the changes brought to their neighborhoods. The plans that operationalized urban renewal remained in place for over 40 years, with significant legislative, legal, and financial effort required to make any alterations. In New York City, many of the urban renewal areas and their governing plans have since expired, ushering in market-driven development and neighborhood changes. This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the subsequent built environment changes and to explore community involvement through case studies of redevelopment in the former Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area (SPEURA) and Two Bridges Urban Renewal Area (TBURA). While many lots remain unchanged since the urban renewal era, those that have changed reflect local development preferences or the results of major rezonings. The case studies reveal the wide variety of methods of community involvement in site redevelopment, with implications for future participation in redevelopment in the city.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 12, 1983 Designation List 164 LP-1226 PUCK BUILDING, 295-309 Lafayette Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1885-86; addition 1892-93; architect Albert Wagner. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 510, Lot 45. On November 18, 1980, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landuark of the Puck Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.l2). The hearing was continued to Februrary 10, 1981 (Item No.5). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five witnesses. spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Puck Building, originally the horne of Puck magazine, is one of the great surviving buildings from New York's old publishing and printing district. The red-brick round-arched structure occupies the entire block bounded by East Houston, Lafayette, Mulberry and Jersey Streets, and has been one of the most prominent architectural presences in the area since its construction one hundred years ago. The building is further distinguished by the large statue of Puck at the building's East Houston and Mulberry Street corner; this is among the city's most conspicuous pieces of architectural sculpture. Puck was, from its founding in 1876 until its demise in 1918, the city's and one of the country's best-kno;vn humor magazines. Published in both English­ and German-language editions, Puck satirized most of the public events of the day. The magazine featured color lithographic cartoons produced by the J.

  • Building Safe, Supportive and Restorative School Communities in New York City Case Study Series Vol
    Building Safe, Supportive and Restorative School Communities in New York City Case Study Series Vol. II Summer 2013 A positive school climate and strong school community are critical to teaching and learning. Yet harsh disciplinary practices such as suspensions, police interventions and school-based arrests undermine positive relationships between students and adults, fail to prevent or reduce conflict, and lead to students missing critical class time. Students of color are more frequently targeted by punitive practices, increasing the likelihood that they will fall behind and be pushed out of school. In a number of New York City schools, students, parents and educators are implementing positive approaches to discipline that hold students accountable for their behavior while keeping them in class. Positive discipline strategies such as restorative approaches, peer mediation and positive behavior supports reduce conflict and support student success by affirming the Student leaders at the Bushwick Campus give a dignity and human rights of all members of the school workshop in conflict resolution to fellow students. community. In the 2011-2012 school year, there were over 69,000 suspensions in New York City schools. The latest data for September-December 2012 show a 35% decrease from the previous year, demonstrating that discipline practices are moving away from a strictly punitive approach. However, in order for schools citywide to fully implement positive disciplinary strategies, they need the funding, training and staff support to transform their school climates and improve educational outcomes. Districts like Denver and Los Angeles have revised their discipline polices to mandate approaches like restorative practices and positive behavior supports, and have invested in the training and support necessary to make these programs sustainable.
