  • Politics of the Playground: the Spaces of Play of Robert Moses and Aldo Van Eyck Nicolás Stutzin
    FIG 1 Jekerstraat, Amsterdam. Aldo Van Eyck, 1949. © Nicolás Stutzin, 2013 Politics of the Playground: the sPaces of Play of robert Moses and aldo van eyck Nicolás Stutzin Profesor, Facultad de Arquitectura, Arte y Diseño, Universidad Diego Portales Santiago, Chile As a machine for the production of common experiences, the playground was one of the most promoted urban spaces in the mid-twentieth century. Through the surprising parallel between Aldo van Eyck’s plan in Amsterdam and Robert Moses’s plan for New York, this article proves that such a politically correct program can be grounded on completely opposing world views; that is, that a common space can also be a place to experiment divergent political visions. Keywords · New York, Amsterdam, ideology, public space, city Some months after taking the position as Commissioner of the New York City Parks Department in 1934, Robert Moses inaugurated a series of nine playgrounds, the first of a massive initiative which would lead to the creation of nearly 700 new infant playgrounds in the course of 26 years during which he was in charge of the greatest public infrastructure developments of the city. Under Moses’s responsibility, between 1934 and 1960, the city achieved to add an average of one new playground every two weeks. In 1947, Aldo van Eyck, the then debutant architect of Amsterdam’s Public Infrastructure Department, was able to see the first of the over 700 small playgrounds he would design in residual spaces and parks throughout the city in the following 31 years and that would become a central part of his career.

  • Chapter 4: Social Conditions
    Chapter 4: Social Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This chapter addresses a variety of issues that support social conditions, including population and housing characteristics, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The discussion of social conditions considers the entire MESA study area (depicted in Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, above) with particular focus on the project corridor—the routes proposed for the various project alternatives—where the greatest potential for change would occur. Because none of the project alternatives have the potential to change social conditions in the secondary study area, where Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would add service along an existing subway line, this analysis is of the primary study area only. The analysis was conducted by first compiling existing data for population and housing, com- munity facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The source for the population and housing data is the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The inventory of community facilities is based on Community District Needs (1997) for Manhattan’s Community Boards, the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Property Lists (dated November 4, 1996), supplementary information provided by the various Community Boards within the study area, and the informa- tion gathered for the analysis of land use, zoning, and public policy in Chapter 3. The assessment of neighborhood character is based on information gathered for other chapters of this document, particularly including the analyses of land use (Chapter 3) and visual and aesthetic considerations (Chapter 6). After assessing the existing conditions in the study area, the expected changes in the future are considered, based on information compiled in Chapter 3.

    SPORTS MARKETING NEWS, PRODUCTS AND EVENTS FROM LINCOLN ELECTRIC August 2013 INDIANA NATIVE NEWMAN CELEBRATES FIRST 400 VICTORY AT IMS By: ims.com Ryan Newman joined his team owner, Tony Stewart, as the only Indiana natives to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, holding off Jimmie Johnson to win the Crown Royal Presents the Samuel Deeds 400 at the Brickyard Powered by BigMachineRecords.com Sunday, July 28. Newman, from South Bend, Ind., beat four-time Brickyard winner Johnson to the finish by 2.657 seconds in the No. 39 Quicken Loans/The Smurfs Chevrolet. Newman became just the third driver to win from the pole in the race’s 20-year history, joining Kevin Harvick (2003) and Johnson (2008). “This is a dream come true for me,” Newman said. “I can’t wait to push my lips on those bricks. I don’t realize it yet. It’s a dream come Greg Biffle at Maggiano’s Little Italy true. It will take a week or so for this to set in. Just a great run today. We needed this.” Newman led four times for 45 laps and took the lead for good on Lap 149 of the 160-lap race when leader Brad Keselowski made his final pit stop. But the groundwork for Newman’s victory was created on his final pit stop on Lap 134. His Stewart-Haas Racing pit crew completed service in just 11 seconds, while Johnson’s final stop on Lap 133 took 18 seconds due to a slow right-rear tire change on the No.
