  • Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists Have Gained the Upper Hand in Protecting Historic Buildings
    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists have gained the upper hand in protecting historic buildings. Now the ques- tion is whether examples of modern architecture— such as these three buildings —deserve the same respect as the great buildings of the past. By Larry Van Dyne The church at 16th and I streets in downtown DC does not match the usual images of a vi- sually appealing house of worship. It bears no resemblance to the picturesque churches of New England with their white clapboard and soaring steeples. And it has none of the robust stonework and stained-glass windows of a Gothic cathedral. The Third Church of Christ, Scientist, is modern architecture. Octagonal in shape, its walls rise 60 feet in roughcast concrete with only a couple of windows and a cantilevered carillon interrupting the gray façade. Surrounded by an empty plaza, it leaves the impression of a supersized piece of abstract sculpture. The church sits on a prime tract of land just north of the White House. The site is so valua- ble that a Washington-based real-estate company, ICG Properties, which owns an office building next door, has bought the land under the church and an adjacent building originally owned by the Christian Science home church in Boston. It hopes to cut a deal with the local church to tear down its sanctuary and fill the assembled site with a large office complex. The congregation, which consists of only a few dozen members, is eager to make the deal — hoping to occupy a new church inside the complex.

  • Office Tenant Design & Construction Manual
    office tenant design & construction manual First Canadian Place 100 King Street West Toronto, Ontario This manual is subject to change from time to time. It is critical to refer to the most current version posted on the Building’s website, axiistenantapp.com/fcp This Manual is prepared to assist and introduce our Tenants, the Tenant’s Consultants and Tenant’s Contractors to the building standards used in the design and construction of office and retail premises in this Building. This standard will also set out the procedures, practices, rules, and regulations which will be applied to the Tenant’s development of Tenant Work. This Manual and the building Retail Design Criteria Manual are to be read in conjunction with and form part of the Lease. In the event of any conflict between this Manual, the Retail Design Criteria Manual and the Lease, the provisions of the Lease shall prevail. The integrity of the buildings managed by Brookfield Properties together with all their systems and installations, are the result of meticulous care and planning. Therefore, any contemplated changes or alterations of existing designs and conditions must be completely compatible with the Building’s operational or design specifications and/or established decor. It is imperative that any Tenant Leasehold Improvements - however small or limited in scope - be fully examined and approved by the Property Manager, before any implementation is permitted or undertaken. Strict conformity to procedural guidelines for Tenant’s Work as specified in the Lease is mandatory. Nevertheless, it must be clearly understood that in the event of any ambiguity of, or omission to the wording in this document, the approval authority to proceed or not to proceed with Tenant’s Work will remain solely with the Property Manager in its capacity as a prudent and professional agent of the Landlord.

  • Ray Bromley Edward Durell Stone. from the International Style to a Personal Style1
    DOI: 10.1283/fam/issn2039-0491/n47-2019/231 Ray Bromley Edward Durell Stone. From the International Style to a Personal style1 Abstract Edward Durell Stone (1902-1978) was an American modernist who devel- oped a unique signature style of ‘new romanticism’ during the middle phase of his career between 1954 and 1966. The style was employed in several dozen major architectural projects and it coincided with his second marriage. His first signature style project was the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, and the most famous one is the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. He achieved temporary global renown with his design for the U.S. Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair in 1958. Sadly, his best projects are widely scattered and he has no significant signature style works in New York City, where he based his career. His current obscurity is explained by the eccentric character of his signature style, his transition from personal design to corporate replication, and the abandonment of signature design principles after the breakdown of his second marriage. Key-words Modernism — New Romanticism — Signature Style Edward Durell Stone (EDS, 1902-1978) was an American modernist and post-modernist architect, who studied art and architecture at the University of Arkansas, Harvard and M.I.T., but who never completed an academic degree. The high point of his student days was a two year 1927-1929 Rotch Fellowship to tour Europe, focusing mainly on the Mediterranean countries, and preparing many fine architectural renderings of historic buildings. His European travels and Rotch Fellowship drawings reflected a deep appreciation of Beaux Arts traditions, but also a growing interest in modernist architecture and functionalist ideals.

  • Architectural Findings
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.
