FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Production press contact: Sam Rudy, 212-221-8466 AIANY press contact: Emily Nemens, 212 358 6126 IMAGES AVAILABLE FOR PUBLICATION Oren Safdie (PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES) puts contemporary architecture on trial in latest play. THE BILBAO EFFECT OFF-BROADWAY ENGAGEMENT BEGINS MAY 12 AT CENTER FOR ARCHITECTURE IN NYC "Implausible as it sounds, Mr. Safdie has done the impossible: He's written an unpretentiously witty play of ideas about some of the most pretentious ideas known to man… the funniest new play to hit New York in months." -- Wall Street Journal review of "Private Jokes, Public Places" "A biting send-up of architects…an hour and a quarter of laughter." - New York Times review of "Private Jokes, Public Places" "A scream, a short, tight play, and an X-acto-blade sharp comedy. Safdie exposes the emperor's new blueprints for all to see." - New Yorker review of "Private Jokes, Public Places" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE BILBAO EFFECT -- a world-premiere play that puts contemporary architecture on trial - written by Oren Safdie (whose previous play about architecture, PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES, was a hit Off-Broadway in 2003) will be presented Off-Broadway with previews starting May 12 prior to an official press opening night on May 16, 2010 at Center for Architecture (536 LaGuardia Place) in Manhattan. PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES, which was also presented at the Center for Architecture, starred Anthony Rapp. Mr. Safdie's most recent play Off-Broadway, THE LAST WORD, enjoyed critical and popular success, and starred the Emmy Award-winning actor Daniel J. Travanti and Adam Green in 2007. "The Bilbao Effect" became a popular term after Frank Gehry built the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, transforming the poor industrial port city of Bilbao into a must-see tourist destination. Its success spurred other cities into hiring famous architects and giving them carte blanche to design even more spectacular buildings in hopes that the formula could be repeated. In Mr. Safdie's play THE BILBAO EFFECT -- the second play of a planned trilogy focusing on contemporary architecture -- Erhardt Shlaminger is a world famous architect who faces censure by the American Institute of Architects, following accusations that his urban redevelopment project for Staten Island has led to a woman's suicide. The play tackles controversial urban design issues that New Yorkers have recently encountered in Brooklyn as a result of the hotly-debated plans to redevelop the Atlantic Yards into an architecture-star mega- development. THE BILBAO EFFECT explores whether architecture has become more of an art than a profession, and at what point the ethics of one field violate the principles of the other. Directed by Brendan Hughes, THE BILBAO EFFECT will be presented by the Center for Architecture in 1 association with Jacqueline Bridgeman, Fritz Michel and Les Gutman. The play was commissioned by the Canada Council for the Arts, is supported by the Quebec Government Office - New York, and was developed through a column Mr. Safdie wrote for Metropolis Magazine. The cast of THE BILBAO EFFECT includes John Bolton ( Broadway's SPAMALOT and CURTAINS, AND TV's "Gossip Girl"), Anthony Giaimo (MEASURE FOR MEASURE at Pearl Theatre Co, "The Bird Cage" w/ Nathan Lane, "Bad Boys II" w/ Will Smith), M.J. Kang (PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES, "Owning Mahoney"), Joris Stuyck (SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE FINAL ADVENTURE at Cincinnati Playhouse, GUANTANAMO at the Culture Project, BBC-TV miniseries "Tender Is the Night"), Jill Tanner (DIVIDING THE ESTATE by Horton Foote at Lincoln Center), Joel Van Liew (FROM UP HERE at MTC), and Dan Barbaro (JEWS AND JESUS). A native of Montreal where he grew up the son of the renowned architect Moshe Safdie, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and grew up in his father's famed Habitat '67, Oren Safdie is a former architecture student at Columbia University. In addition to its successful debut in NYC, PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC places has been produced internationally in Toronto, London, and the National Theatre in Romania. Other plays include "WEST BANK, UK" "JEWS & JESUS" "FIDDLER SUB-TERRAIN" and "LA COMPAGNIE" which he developed into a 1/2 hour pilot for CBS. As a screenwriter, Oren scripted the film YOU CAN THANK ME LATER starring Ellen Burstyn, Amanda Plummer and Mary McDonnell, and the Israeli film BITTERSWEET. He has also written for METROPOLIS, DWELL and THE NEW REPUBLIC. BRENDAN HUGHES (Director) returns to New York after several years splitting his time between Wellfleet, Massachusetts, where he serves as Impresario of the Harbor Stage at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, and Los Angeles where he teaches acting, writes and makes films. New York theatre has included directing for Lucid Theatre, Tikal Too Entertainment, the Dwight Street Book Club and Triptych Theatre. Brendan is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, where he ran the Yale Cabaret in its 35th season. He directed the New England Premiere of PRIVATE JOKES, PUBLIC PLACES for Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater.

    Safdie Architects to Set New Standard for Community-Centric Airport Design

    Safdie Architects to set new standard for community-centric airport design with the opening of Jewel Changi Airport, Singapore 2019 Features include an expansive indoor forest, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, tree-top walking trails, restaurants, retail, and a variety of gathering places, open to all travellers and the public alike. J ewel weaves together an experience of nature and the marketplace, dramatically asserting the idea of the airport as an uplifting and vibrant urban center, engaging travelers, visitors, and residents, and echoing Singapore’s reputation as ‘The City in the Garden.’ –Moshe Safdie February 26, 2019 (Boston) — Designed by Safdie Architects, Jewel Changi Airport, the newest development at Singapore’s award-winning Changi Airport, will commence a phased opening in Q2 2019. Jewel Changi Airport combines an intense marketplace and a paradise garden to create a new center – “the heart and soul” of Changi Airport. Once open, Jewel will establish a new paradigm for community-centric airport design, extending the airport’s principal function as a transit hub to create an interactive civic plaza and marketplace, combining landside airport operations with expansive indoor gardens and waterfall leisure facilities, retail, restaurants, and a hotel as well as other spaces for community activities. Linked to the city’s public transportation grid and with open access to Terminal 1, and to Terminals 2 and 3 via pedestrian bridges, Jewel engages both in-transit passengers as well as the public of Singapore. Entirely publicly accessible, the 134,000-square-meter (144,000 sq.ft.) glass-enclosed toroidal building asserts a new model for airports as a destination for community activity, entertainment, and shopping.

    CONTEMPORARY DESIGN IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS: A CASE STUDY OF TWO MUSEUMS by WILLIAM MALLORY BROCKENBROUGH (Under the Direction of Pratt Cassity) ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the development of contemporary architecture in historic settings by comparing the work of architect Moshe Safdie in two projects. The museums, the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts are both uniquely situated within historic urban cities that govern development through design review. The thesis looks at the state of contemporary design in historic settings, barriers to design, and the success or failure of the design review process.

    Moshe Safdie Safdie Architects Moshe Safdie is an architect, urban planner, educator, theorist, and author who embraces a comprehensive and humane design philosophy. Safdie is committed to architecture that supports and enhances a project’s program; that is informed by the geographic, social, and cultural elements that define a place; and that responds to human needs and aspirations. Major projects by Moshe Safdie currently under construction or recently completed include Mamilla Alrov Center, a 28-acre development that runs contiguous with the Old City in Jerusalem; Marina Bay Sands, a mixed-use integrated resort in Singapore; Khalsa Heritage Memorial Complex, the national museum of the Sikh people in India; the United States Institute of Peace Headquarters in Washington, D.C.; the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Missouri; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas; and Golden Dream Bay, a residential and retail complex in Qinhuangdao, China. Safdie has designed and realized a wide range of projects around the world, including cultural, civic, and educational institutions; mixed-use urban centers and airports; and master plans for existing neighborhoods and entirely new cities. Many of his buildings have become beloved regional and national landmarks, including Habitat ’67, Montreal, Canada; Exploration Place Science Center, Wichita, Kansas; Salt Lake City Public Library, Salt Lake City, Utah; Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts; Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California; the National Gallery of Canada; and Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, Jerusalem, Israel. In 1978, after teaching at Yale, Safdie relocated his residence and principle office to Boston where he also served as the Director of the Urban Design Program at the Harvard University Graduate School of design and subsequently was the Ian Woodner Professor of Architecture and Urban Design.
