  • A – SMOKE and MIRRORS (The United Nations Building to Grand
    SMOKE AND MIRRORS (The United Nations to Grand Central Station) ____________________________________________ At the edge of the world sits a Tower. And this Tower is no structure of brick and mortar, but a kind of illusion; a trick of the light, flickering electric blue in and out of sight; a coalescing of vapors; of misplaced goodwill. The kings and queens of the world attend here, pronouncing PEACE, while raining armaments on those of their own, or those of their own they believe to be not. But still the pilgrims come in the thousands from the Terminal seeking an audience, uninformed or disregarding of this Congregation’s inadequacy. Through miles of devastated landscape they come with their fragile appeals in their hands, towards the Tower shimmering like a mirage in the distance; and the mediaeval brick city-fortress that guards its flanks. Around them, light and shadow play upon pillars of glass and steel, reflected one upon the other so reality is indiscernible from reflection; so the pilgrim, his eyes confused and diverted, does not realise that there is in fact, nothing behind the smoke and mirrors; that this entire landscape of grandiose ideals is insubstantial. Ting 8 1 – The United Nations Secretariat Tower, completed in 1952 and designed by an international committee of architects, including Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, amongst others. Ting 9 2 – Isaiah 2:4, on the Scharansky steps, named after a Soviet dissident, and part of the Ralphe Bunche Park. This park is across from the UN complex. 3 – Channelling Hampton Court: Tudor City, a luxury residential project built between 1925-28, by the Fred F.

  • Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision for the East Side Access Project
    Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision For the East Side Access Project September 2012 SUMMARY OF DECISION This is a Record of Decision (ROD) of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, regarding the East Side Access (ESA) Project. FRA has prepared this ROD in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA, and FRA’s Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) filed an application with the FRA for a loan to finance eligible elements of the ESA Project through the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) Program. The ESA Project is the MTA’s largest system expansion in over 100 years. The ESA Project will expand the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) services by connecting Queens and Long Island with East Midtown Manhattan. With direct LIRR service to Midtown East, the LIRR will further increase its market share of commuters by saving up to 40 minutes per day in subway/bus/sidewalk travel time for commuters who work on Manhattan’s East Side. The ESA Project was previously considered in an environmental impact statement (EIS) prepared by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in May 2001 and subsequent FTA reevaluations and an environmental assessment of changes in the ESA Project. Construction of the ESA Project has been ongoing since 2001. FRA has reviewed the environmental impacts for the ESA Project identified in the FTA March 2001 Final EIS, subsequent FTA Reevaluations, and the 2006 Supplemental EA/FONSI (collectively, the “2001 EIS”) for the ESA Project and adopted it pursuant to CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1506.3).

Just beyond, the retired World War Il aircnaft carrier, Intrepid, houses the Air and Space Museum. From this area ferry services Iink Manhattan with New Jersey in minutes, while fleets of excursion craft stand by for sightseeing trips and dinner cruises around the island, or for day-long trips up the Hudson. Across the Hudson the New Jersey landscape stretches out past Newark lnternational Airport to the gently rolling hills of the Ramapo Mountains and beyond to the resort and vacation playgrounds of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, South To the south the City takes on a Iess lofty character, where many of its historical buildings are dwarfed by the soaring Wall Street structures. Visible in the center foreground is the appropriately- named Flatiron Building, and south from there the elegant Woolworth Building, once the tallest building in the world at only 60 floors. To the right in Upper New York Bay stands the Great Lady herself, the Statue of Liberty, and the adjoining EIIis Island, where millions of immigrants first stood on American soil. To the lower left, the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges appear as miniatures against the backdrop of the majestic span of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge joining the boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten lsland.

  • Complexity in Building Design
    Complexity in building design Mahadev Rahman, Princeton University and Columbia University; Board of Directors, Arup Group, USA At the present moment, the complexity of building design seems best exemplified by the super structures towering over modern Dubai. But how did we get from the iconic stone buildings of ancient times to these glass and steel monoliths that stand up to 160 floors high? As the tools available to designers have become ever more sophisticated and the environmental performance standards ever more stringent, there seems to be an inevitable drive toward complexity in the design of buildings. Technological advances have also added additional stages to the construction process and in an industry where time is money; this can produce innumerable challenges for a design team. Yet as we’ll see, the new tools are actually optimizing the efficiency of the design process. 1 Historical Context Of course, historically, the construction of traditional, or vernacular, buildings was not simple either. But typically much of the risk associated with the process could be mitigated by the repetitive nature of these buildings, and the incremental way in which innovations in technology or process were incorporated. At a larger scale, the construction of the pyramids at Giza, the Parthenon, the Coliseum, the Sun Temple at Konark, the cathedral at Chartres, the Taj Mahal would all have been spectacularly complex processes, even by modern standards. However, even with these examples, each building represented the ultimate refinement of an architectural style, technology, and construction process perfected over many generations. Risk was managed by ensuring that the next building would essentially be the same as the last one with only minor innovations in technology and construction methodology (Figure 1).
