  • A Historical Bibliography of Commercial Architecture in the United States
    A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE UNITED STATES Compiled by Richard Longstreth, 2002; last revised 7 May 2019 I have focused on historical accounts giving substantive coverage of the commercial building types that traditionally distinguish city and town centers, outlying business districts, and roadside development. These types include financial institutions, hotels and motels, office buildings, restaurants, retail and wholesale facilities, and theaters. Buildings devoted primarily to manufacturing and other forms of production, transportation, and storage are not included. Citations of writings devoted to the work of an architect or firm and to the buildings of a community are limited to a few of the most important relative to this topic. For purposes of convenience, listings are divided into the following categories: Banks; Hotels-Motels; Office Buildings; Restaurants; Taverns, etc.; Retail and Wholesale Buildings; Roadside Buildings, Miscellaneous; Theaters; Architecture and Place; Urbanism; Architects; Materials-Technology; and Miscellaneous. Most accounts are scholarly in nature, but I have included some popular accounts that are particularly rich in the historical material presented. Any additions or corrections are welcome and will be included in updated editions of this bibliography. Please send them to me at [email protected].

    Architectural Sessions: Quiet Architecture — Thomas Phifer & Gabriel Smith in Conversation with Maziar Behrooz …….. NEW 6.9.14 Architectural Sessions at the Parrish Quiet Architecture: Thomas Phifer and Gabriel Smith in Conversation with Maziar Behrooz. In association with AIA Peconic. Lichtenstein Theater, Parrish Art Museum, Water Mill, New York September 15, 2013 Andrea Grover, Curator of Special Projects: I want to tell you a little bit about tonight’s program by starting with a quote by Thomas Phifer: “We’re into very quiet architecture. Our buildings want to be helping hands, bringing people closer to understanding the sun and light and the change of seasons. For far too long buildings have been fortresses cutting people off from nature.” This session will examine this particular focus of the Phifer firm and how this gridline goes through projects from conception to completion. Thomas Phifer founded his New York City based firm, Thomas Phifer & Partners, in 1997. The firm is has recently completed the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh and the Brochstein Pavilion at Rice University, as well as a number of residential commissions. Current projects include an expansion of the Corning Museum of Glass, a new museum for the Glenstone Foundation in Potomac, Maryland, and a federal office building in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The firm’s buildings have received numerous AIA national and New York honor awards. Phifer has received a Medal of Honor from the NY Chapter of AIA and the Grand Prize from the American Academy in Rome, and in 2013 the Arts & Letters award in architecture from the American Academy of Arts & Letters.
