  • This Lively Downtown Neighborhood Has Been a Center of Bohemian Lifestyle Since the Early 1900S
    This lively downtown neighborhood has been a center of bohemian lifestyle since the early 1900s. Home to jazz clubs in the 1920s, to 1960s hippy havens and 1980s punk rock clubs, the East Village has always had an edginess that the West Village (a.k.a. Greenwich Village) lacks. During Dutch colonial days, much of the East Village was farmland owned by Dutch colonial Governor Peter Stuyvesant. Its18th century pastoral setting gave way to 19th century wealth followed by 20th century bohemianism and is now a 21st century playland filled to the brim with bars, lounges, cheap restaurants and haute cuisine, boutiques, vintage shops and more. The most special thing about the East Village is free: the authenticity and energy you will feel when you stroll its streets. Be sure to check out our self-guided tour of Greenwich Village (West Village) as well as ​ ​ our full list of self-guided NYC tours. ​ ​ We recommend that you start this tour in Astor Place. Astor Place is located on the western boundary of the East Village. Use this Google map link for directions to Astor ​ Place. If you are considering purchasing a hop-on, hop-off bus ticket, most companies ​ offer stops in or just nearby Astor Place. Read our comparison post on New York bus ​ tours. ​ Click here for a larger interactive East Village Tour Map ​ Stop A - Astor Place This short two block street, running east from Broadway to Lafayette Street is named after John Jacob Astor, who was the richest person in America when he died in 1848.

    New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (1962-1999): Paradigm for Changing Attitudes Towards Historic Preservation By Marjorie Pearson, Ph.D. Samuel H. K ress Mid-Career G rant Study Funded by The James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation 2010 Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1 Landmark Beginnings: The Advisory Commission (1962-1965) 5 Chapter 2 The Commission Established (1965-1973) 28 Chapter 3 Expanding a Mission and a Mandate (1974-1983) 55 Chapter 4 The Commission Under Siege (1983-1990) 91 Chapter 5 The Commission Comes of Age: Growth and Maturity (1990-1990) 110 Epilogue 129 Acknowledgments 135 IN T R O DU C T I O N Historic preservation as an officially mandated government program has been existence for almost fifty years in New York City, but the history of the movement, both before and after the ratification and implementation of the Landmarks law, has been largely undocumented until relatively recently. Giving Preservation a History: Histories of Historic Preservation in the United States and Preserving New York: Winning the Right to Protect a City’s Landmarks are part of an effort to rectify that situation.1 This work, told partly from my personal perspective, covers part of the story told by Anthony C. Wood and carries it forward to the end of the twentieth century. It describes and analyzes the history of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission while setting it within a larger national context. New York had been preceded by several other American cities, including Charleston, South Carolina, New Orleans, and Boston, in the establishment of a local preservation law and an accompanying oversight body, but still it had few models to emulate.

  • Reboot Retail Architecture March 23, 2015 Brady William Ginn Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture Savannah College of Art and Design
    Reboot Retail Architecture March 23, 2015 Brady William Ginn Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture Savannah College of Art and Design Thesis to be submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fullfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture In the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design/Architecture/Art and Planning Committee Chair: John Hancock Research Chair: Michael McInturf ABSTRACT A dramatic shift is taking place in the retail industry: the monumental rise of e-commerce has decreased the validity of and need for brick-and- mortar retail stores. As online shopping continues to proliferate, how can retail architecture survive? This thesis will explore retail typology, the digital age of shopping, and “brandscaping,” through a cycle of research, literature, and precedent analysis. Applicable principles will be exercised in the design of a DC Comics flagship retail store, while also utilizing comic book methodology. Focus will be placed on analysis of the current state of the shopping type, the needs of the next generation of shoppers, the relationship between technology and retail stores, a study of the client’s brand and culture, and the relationship between comic books and architecture. The retail store will be reinvented as a place for something greater than fulfilling a need; it will evolve into a space that emphasizes the development of a personal relationship between the brand and the customer. Pieces of shopping architecture have the potential to become zones of action and play where a user can become a superhero, harness their powers, and learn to fly.
