  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

  • Travel Tips United Kingdom
    Travel Tips United Kingdom City Guide London London is the largest city in the United Kingdom and a leader in global finance, fashion, commerce and education. It has a population of 8.17 million people and is located in south-eastern part of Great Britain and lies along the banks of the River Thames. London dates back 2 millennia to Roman times when it was a northern outpost of the Roman Empire. Airports London has two major international airports, and the city is easily reached from both of them. Heathrow (LHR) Heathrow located 15 miles west of London and there are a wide variety of transportation options to bring you to the city center. The Underground is the cheapest option with a one way ticket costing at most £6 (US$9.5). It takes close to an hour to reach most destinations within central London. The Heathrow Express train is the fastest option and will bring you to Paddington station in between 15 and 20 min. It costs £34 (US$53) for a return ticket. If your destination is not in the Paddington area, the Underground may end up taking less time overall. Various bus companies operate to and from London, and prices usually average about £12 (US$19) for a return ticket. There are several coaches that operate to outlying areas such as Oxford if London is not your final destination. There is a taxi queue in front of the arrivals gate, and private “Mini-Cabs” can be ordered ahead of time. It usually costs between £50-100 (US$75-$155).

  • The Art of the Possible the Arcelormittal Orbit, Collective Memory, and Ecological Survival
    The Art of the Possible The ArcelorMittal Orbit, collective memory, and ecological survival David Cross [For ‘Regeneration Songs: Sounds of Opportunity and Loss in East London’ Edited by Alberto Duman, Anna Minton, Dan Hancox and Malcolm James London: Repeater Books, September 2018] As the 2012 London Olympics have long since passed from anticipation through lived experience into history, or at least memory, I decided at last to ‘experience’ the ArcelorMittal Orbit in its physical setting. Emerging from Stratford tube station, I tried to reach the Olympic Park without passing through Westfield, Europe’s largest shopping centre. But the pedestrian walkway petered out in a banal and featureless non-place; with no viable way forward, I had to concede, and return to the main concourse. Surrounded by surveillance cameras, I felt self-conscious and began to suspect myself of having criminal thoughts. But with my field of vision dominated by a brilliant screen playing fragments of a disaster movie, interspersed with an advertisement for dairy milk chocolate, it was easy to be distracted. Framed by an avenue of retail façades, my first glimpse of the ArcelorMittal Orbit had the quality of a computer-generated image, a silhouette shimmering faintly in the polluted London air. Having found my bearings, I decided to relax and ‘go with the flow’, allowing my movement to be governed by the urban form. I wandered through the corporate branded environment, a ‘forest of signs’ enjoining me to “Explore, Discover, Experience, Share, Indulge, and Eat”. I went into a stylish boutique café with a ceiling of beaten copper and a display counter of authentic-looking wooden fruit packing crates, where I was served an organic fairtrade coffee and a delicious pain au chocolat, heated and handed to me in a recycled paper bag by someone who seemed so bored or exhausted that they were almost gone.
