  • 805 15Th STREET, NW "Make No Little Plans, They Have No Magic to Stir Men's Blood."
    805 15th STREET, NW "Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood." - Daniel H. Burnham THE GREATER 15TH STREET FINANCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT As the city’s population continued to increase during the late 19th century, the number of financial institutions grew correspondingly – primarily in and around the Department of Treasury at 15th Street & New York Avenue, NW. As business expanded, the size and number of the city’s fi- nancial institutions, especially the Trust companies, and their associated real estate businesses similarly grew. As a reflection of this growth and prosperity, the city’s financial institutions began to build highly visible and monumental headquarter buildings. Essentially simultaneous to the development of banks and office buildings at 14th and G Streets, the 15th Street corridor grew beyond its cluster of bank buildings next to the Trea- sury, ultimately inspiring a linear growth of banking-related enterprises up to and including McPherson Square, of which The Southern Building is a superior example. WORLD RENOWNED ARCHITECTURE Designed by renowned, Daniel H. Burnham (1846-1912), The Southern Building opened in 1910 initially leased to, and owned and occupied by two insurance companies: the First National Fire Insurance Company and the Commercial Fire Insurance Company. The impact Mr. Burnham had on urban planning and the American city is still felt today, more than 100 years after his death. Over the course of his illustrious career, Burnham pioneered some of the world’s first skyscrapers, inspired the City Beautiful Movement with his vision for the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and created urban plans for numerous cities before urban planning even existed as a profession.

  • Skyscrapers and District Heating, an Inter-Related History 1876-1933
    Skyscrapers and District Heating, an inter-related History 1876-1933. Introduction: The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between a new urban and architectural form, the skyscraper, and an equally new urban infrastructure, district heating, both of witch were born in the north-east United States during the late nineteenth century and then developed in tandem through the 1920s and 1930s. These developments will then be compared with those in Europe, where the context was comparatively conservative as regards such innovations, which virtually never occurred together there. I will argue that, the finest example in Europe of skyscrapers and district heating planned together, at Villeurbanne near Lyons, is shown to be the direct consequence of American influence. Whilst central heating had appeared in the United Kingdom in the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, district heating, which developed the same concept at an urban scale, was realized in Lockport (on the Erie Canal, in New York State) in the 1880s. In United States were born the two important scientists in the fields of heating and energy, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and Benjamin Thompson Rumford (1753-1814). Standard radiators and boilers - heating surfaces which could be connected to central or district heating - were also first patented in the United States in the late 1850s.1 A district heating system produces energy in a boiler plant - steam or high-pressure hot water - with pumps delivering the heated fluid to distant buildings, sometimes a few kilometers away. Heat is therefore used just as in other urban networks, such as those for gas and electricity.

  • Precision in Architectural Production
    Precision in Architectural Production PhD 2016 Mhairi McVicar Abstract In the professionalised context of contemporary architectural practice, precise communications are charged with the task of translating architectural intentions into a prosaic language to guarantee certainty in advance of construction. To do so, regulatory and advisory bodies advise the architectural profession that ‘the objective is certainty.’1 Uncertainty is denied in a context which explicitly defines architectural quality as ‘fitness for purpose.’2 Theoretical critiques of a more architectural nature, meanwhile, employ a notably different language, applauding risk and deviation as central to definitions of architectural quality. Philosophers, sociologists and architectural theorists, critics and practitioners have critiqued the implications of a built environment constructed according to a framework of certainty, risk avoidance, and standardisation, refuting claims that communication is ever free from slippage of meaning, or that it ever it can, or should, be unambiguously precise when attempting to translate the richness of architectural intentions. Through close readings of architectural documentations accompanying six architectural details constructed between 1856 and 2006, this thesis explores the desire for, and consequences of, precision in architectural production. From the author’s experience of a 2004 self-build residence in the Orkney Islands, to architectural critiques of mortar joints at Sigurd Lewerentz’s 1966 Church of St Peter’s, Klippan; from the

  • Millennium Tower Project, Boston
    MILLENNIUM TOWER PROJECT, BOSTON By Sophie Cullen The city’s skyline has recently been transformed through the Millennium Tower Project which includes a restored heritage building and a striking tower Located at the historic site of the former Filene's Department Store, the $630 million Millennium Tower project consists of the landmark 1912 Burnham Building and the dramatic mixed-use tower. Standing 685 feet above the ground, the mixed-use tower is now the third highest building in the city. Designed by Blake Middleton of Handel Architects, the structure includes residential, office space and street level retail areas. GLODOW NEAD PERSPECTIVEGLOBAL.COM COMMUNICATIONS OCTOBER 15, 2015 "In designing this project, we created a dynamic interplay between the historic Burnham Building and the new tower," said architect Blake Middleton. "We wanted to push the evolution of Boston's skyline with a modern, expressive form. Angular glass facets that maximize the stunning views run vertically up the building like a Waterford Champagne flute. The resulting structure is modern, graceful and reflective." The tower has a distinct geometric form and articulated profile that stretches toward the sky. The crystalline character of the tower is emphasised by faceting the broad faces of the tower, and subtly shifting the geometry of the vertical planes. This shaping, combined with a dramatic shear at the penthouse terrace and the chamfered peak, accentuates the tower's verticality while refracting the ever-changing colors of the sky. The resulting structure is a graceful and softer counterpoint to the stolid masonry of the downtown skyline. Created by famed Chicago architect Daniel Burnham while he was the most prominent retail merchandising architect in the nation, the Filene's building was Burnham's only Boston structure.
