La noticia ocupa media página de texto y sólo incluye una fotografía. Es de un miembro del jurado, Esther Miller, escultora y ama de casa de Oakland que favoreció que el premio recayese en la, aún, oficina de Saarinen. RESUMEN: En la noticia se da cuenta del fallo del jurado en uno de los concursos más importantes del momento, el museo de Oakland. Lista los participantes (Breuer, Johnson, Rudolph, Gro- pius…) y comenta la soprendente decisión del jurado al premiar a la oficina de Saarinen sin haberle entrevistado nunca (murió en octubre de 1961). Describe brevemente lo que se intuye que será el museo en ese momento: tres edificios con un parque al lado y construido en hormigón y madera. Destaca la posibilidad de esta- blecer flujos de movimiento entre el interior y el exterior, el edificio y el ‘previsto’ parque contiguo, que penetraría en el edificio. CONCEPTOS Y CITAS: Relación interior – exterior: • “Gardens extending right into the museum will create an indoor-outdoor flow of spa- ce”. Pág. 16. 9 ARTÍCULO: EERO SAARINEN, A COMPLETE ARCHITECT REVISTA: ARCHITECTURAL FORUM FECHA: ABRIL 1962 VOLUMEN: 116 NÚMERO: 4 PÁGINAS: 18 (p. 102-119) AUTOR: WALTER McQUADE IDIOMA: INGLÉS TIPO DE ARTÍCULO: DIVULGATIVO COMPOSICIÓN DEL ARTÍCULO: Se trata de un artículo extenso sobre Eero Saarinen, fallecido en octubre de 1961 y recep- tor de la medalla de oro de la AIA en 1962. Combina texto e imágenes (edificios, dibujos, datos personales…). Se divide en varios apartados: • Introducción • A seeker after new shapes • Competitor and cooperator • An analyst and an organizer • A very responsable architect RESUMEN: El artículo intenta mostrar la forma de ser y de pensar de Eero Saarinen. Se habla de su infancia rodeado de gente del arte, de su muerte temprana en pleno apogeo y, principal- mente, se transmite su forma de trabajar. Se le describe como un hombre metódico, afable, con capacidad de persuasión. Un hombre con muchas facetas que engranaban totalmente y parecían ser una única idea. CONCEPTOS Y CITAS: Expresión estructural: • “Soon after his widely acclaimed General Motors design, Saarinen began building exuberant shapes, and criticts decided he was becoming a structural architect, one bent on expressing more the way a building was engineered than what it does”. Pág. 107. Sobre la arquitectura: • “What it all came down to was his wish to build an expressive architecture, an antias- sembly-line arechitecture. Each building should be as distinctive as each person should. It was toward the end that he really began to get the hang of orchestrating the nature of 10 the project, the nature of the spaces, nature of the site, nature of the materials and nature of construction method to compose a completely balanced statement, whose component characteristics did not compete, but build up on one another”. Pág. 111. • “You have to first chase the problems, once you have caught the problems you can always solve them”. Pág. 111. 11 ARTÍCULO: THE NEW SAARINEN OFFICE The atmosphere -and the output- of a busy firm REVISTA: ARCHITECTURAL FORUM FECHA: ABRIL 1963 VOLUMEN: 118 NÚMERO: 4 PÁGINAS: 7 (p. 113-119) AUTOR: WALTER McQUADE IDIOMA: INGLÉS TIPO DE ARTÍCULO: DIVULGATIVO / DESCRIPTIVO COMPOSICIÓN DEL ARTÍCULO: Siete páginas diferenciadas en dos partes: el cuerpo principal de la noticia donde el texto informativo es la herramienta fundamental y dos hojas intermedias que muestran los pri- meros encargos de la oficina tras la muerte de Saarinen y que destacan por la fotografía. Los proyectos ilustrados son el instituto Richard C. Lee, el museo de Oakland y la tienda para Neimus-Marcus en Dallas. RESUMEN: El artículo habla sobre la organización y evolución del estudio de Saarinen tras su muerte y deja una posibilidad abierta para su funcionamiento en el futuro tras rechazar ofertas de compra por parte de inversores. Se estructura en de la siguiente manera: • $125 million in work: Relaciona los nuevos encargos recibidos por el estudio que se suman a los inacabados por Saarinen. • The administrator: Describe la figura de Joe Lacy. Antiguo colaborador de Louis I. Kahn que pasó a encargarse de la administración general y de la supervisión de algunos proyectos como el primer John Deere. Es socio desde 1951. • The technologist: John Dinkeloo. Socio desde 1956, antes de trabajar con Saarinen co- laboraba con SOM. Su puesto era de enlace entre los diseñadores y los ingenieros además de investigar y acercar nuevos materiales de la industria a la arquitectura. • The designer: Kevin Roche, el único que en 1963 aún no era socio porque no tenía ni la nacionalidad. Es al que más se compara con Saarinen (ver citas abajo). • The first new job: Descripción de Oakland y comentarios de Charles Eames sobre la evolución de la oficina. • The future: Explica que 1966 es la fecha en la que Saarienen dejó escrito que la oficina tenía que disolverse y renombrarse. Habla de los cambios que hubo al mudarse de Michi- 12 gan a Bloomfields Heights (relación de nombres) y de la nueva posición de Kevin roche (viajes y relación con los clientes). • Determining the method: Explica maneras de hacer de la empresa. CONCEPTOS Y CITAS: Relación con el entorno: • “It is as a complete ‘surround’ that the design is construe”. Pág. 116. • “Oakland wants to be a sculptural environment in the middle of California”. Pág. 116. Roche-Saarinen: • “People who know Roche well say he is a more ‘rationalist’ designer than was Saari- nen, who had a wide romantic streak”. Pág. 117. • “But there are two qualities which the two obviously shared: full devotion to the la- boriously detailed programming of any project, in the attempt to distill out the prejudices pulling the designer toward a commonplace solution. The other quality is audacity”. Pág. 117. • “He (Roche) has also made presentations to larger groups than was usual with Saari- nen. His audiences have been as big as 500, because of the two city Jobs the office has acquired, the museum and the school. Roche stays discreetly out of the limelight at these presentations, putting the design to the fore vy means of wide-screen projection and other late technical devices, In contrast, saarinen made almost all of his presentations to sma- ller groups of corporate clientes, and was famous for his very personal, country-doctor approach. He would explain a design carefully, calmly, kindly – as if it were a very serious medical operation the client was facing”. Pág. 118. 13 ARTÍCULO: IBM UNVEILS ITS NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR PAVILION REVISTA: ARCHITECTURAL FORUM FECHA: JUNIO 1963 VOLUMEN: 118 NÚMERO: 6 PÁGINAS: 1 (p. 47) AUTOR: REDACCIÓN IDIOMA: INGLÉS TIPO DE ARTÍCULO: PRESENTACIÓN DE UN PROYECTO COMPOSICIÓN DEL ARTÍCULO: Dentro de la sección fija de la revista llamada Projects.

RESUMEN: Una descripción y crítica positiva del edificio realizado por los asociados del fallecido Eero Saarinen junto a Charles Eames. Revela las intenciones del proyecto: mostrar el funcionamiento de las computadoras y admirar el progreso de la tecnología. CONCEPTOS Y CITAS: No se tratan conceptos teóricos. “The IBM Pavilion is a brilliant work of architectural imagination, and it’s not even a building. It is a great egg laid by a giant bird on the green plastic leaves of some wonderful steel trees that make a little 19th-century wooded park where long ago there was a fair”.

No part of this manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of The Art Institute of Chicago. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iv Preface to Revised Edition v Outline of Topics vi Oral History 1 Selected References 149 Curriculum Vitae 150 Index of Names and Buildings 151 iii PREFACE On January 30, 31, and February 1, 1989, I met with Edward Charles Bassett in his home in Mill Valley, California, to record his memoirs. Retired now, "Chuck" has been the head of design of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's San Francisco office from 1955-1981. Those twenty-six years were a time of unprecedented growth and change to which Chuck not only bore witness but helped shape. Chuck Bassett was one of the SOM triumvirate of the postwar years: he was the West Coast counterpart of Gordon Bunshaft in New York and William Hartmann in Chicago. In 1988 the California Council of the American Institute of Architects awarded SOM, San Francisco, a 42-year award for "...the genuine commitment that the firm has had to its city, to the profession and to both art and the business of architecture." Although Chuck prefers to be known as a team player, his personal contribution to this achievement is unmistakable in the context of urban San Francisco since 1955.

  • Chapter 7: Urban Design and Visual Resources
    Chapter 7: Urban Design and Visual Resources 7.1 Introduction This chapter assesses the Proposed Action’s potential effects on urban design and visual resources. Per the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, the urban design and visual resources assessment is undertaken to determine whether and how a project or action may change the visual experience of a pedestrian, focusing on the components of the project or action that may have the potential to affect the arrangement, appearance, and functionality of the built and natural environment. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, urban design is defined as the totality of components—including streets, buildings, open spaces, wind, natural resources, and visual resources—that may affect a pedestrian’s experience of public space. A visual resource is defined as the connection from the public realm to significant natural or built features, including views of the waterfront, public parks, landmark structures or districts, otherwise distinct buildings or groups of buildings, and natural resources. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) is proposing zoning map and zoning text amendments that would collectively affect approximately 78 blocks in Greater East Midtown, in Manhattan Community Districts 5 and 6 (collectively, the “Proposed Action”). The Proposed Action is intended to reinforce the area’s standing as a one of the City’s premiere business districts, support the preservation of landmarks, and provide for above- and below-grade public realm improvements as contained in the Public Realm Improvement Concept Plan (the “Concept Plan”) described in Chapter 1, “Project Description.” Many aspects of urban design are controlled by zoning, and because the Proposed Action would entail changes to zoning and related development-control mechanisms, the Proposed Action therefore may have the potential to result in changes to urban design.

Mr. Platner, who worked in the firms of Eero Saarinen and Kevin Roche in the early and mid-1960"s, introduced his collection of chairs, ottomans and tables in 1966. Known as the "Platner Collection", in the original design, each piece glass rests on a sculptural base of nickel-plated steel rods resembling a shiny sheaf of wheat. Platner designed both the structure and the production method for these designs, forming his primary contribution to the mid-century modern furniture movement and is still an enduring icon of 1960"s Modernism. While this is a very sturdy base and hold a lot of weight, if you are considering using for your own top, we recommend a minimum diameter of 54 inches (to have adequate leg room) and a maximum diameter of 60 inches (unless you plan on securing the top with some sort of bracket) Dimensions: Top Diameter: 34 inches Bottom Diameter: 20 inches Height: 28.75 inches Weight: 110 lbs Product URL: https://www.modernclassics.com/store/pc/Platner-Style-Wire-Frame-Round-Dining-Table-Base-Only-6p19582.htm.
