Take a look at the new urban farm coming to the Javits Center this month

2021-08-17T08:41:00-04:00

A sprawling new urban farm is coming to one unlikely New York venue this month after a $1.5 billion reinvestment into the state’s “Crown Jewel” convention hall.

The Javits Center will have some verdant new features when its renovation is officially unveiled this month thanks to an innovative, collaborative design by Stantec, tvsdesign, WXY, and Brooklyn Grange with green roofers Adaptive Green acting as contractor. The project is a joint venture of LendLease, Turner Construction, and tvsdesign, with Stantec providing the landscape architecture planning.

The existing green roof has been expanded while a new 1-acre urban farm has also been added along with a pavilion and greenhouse space that will save about 8 million gallons of stormwater annually in addition to providing fresh produce to the center’s catering and dining operations year-round.

“This expansion comes at a critical time for our city, our state and our industry and serves as a si...

Third wave Open Streets: Open for whom?

2021-07-02T09:00:00-04:00

According to New York Times restaurant critic, Pete Wells, who “loves outdoor dining,” the Big Apple is in the process of another makeover with a “third wave” of Open Restaurants being added to the city’s already bustling streets.

Nevertheless, as more parking spaces are given over to myriad semi-permanent structures, how this program is enacted will determine who is able to enjoy the public realm. Are restaurant-going people the only New Yorkers that should stand to benefit from this significant shift in urban design?

Open Restaurants and Open Streets were conceived in 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, in which indoor dining was prohibited, allowing restaurants to move their tables outside. The latter was designed to provide additional public space for New Yorkers to socially distance outdoors. Restaurant-going locals have enjoyed the redesign of city streets—however provisional the structures—and now, through regulation, the city has the opportunity to make this a...

Macy’s unveils $325M plan for public space and subway accessibility with new Herald Square tower

2021-05-11T17:17:00-04:00

It’s been two years since Macy’s first floated the idea of building a 700-950 foot office tower atop its Herald Square flagship, and it looks like the plan is getting closer to reality thanks to a $325 million private investment in transit accessibility and public infrastructure. This includes upgraded subway access, improved transit connections, ADA-accessible elevators, and a modernized car-free Herald Square and Broadway Plaza.

Two options for the "new" Penn Station proposed

2021-04-22T20:35:00-04:00

Governor Cuomo has unveiled two new reconstruction options for transforming Penn Station into "a world-class, 21st-century transportation hub." New images released Wednesday afternoon show how transit officials hope to reinvent the dreary subterranean Midtown labyrinth into a modern, light-filled transit destination. The proposal lays out two distinct options, both of which would retain Madison Square Garden, but also require its purchase.

The designs are the work of FXcollaborative and WSP.

Gansevoort Peninsula Park: Manhattan's first public beach moves forward

2021-02-08T15:47:00-05:00

The Hudson River Park Trust is looking for developers to build its new Gansevoort Peninsula, a 5.5-acre park to be built on what was once 13th Avenue. [...] The Whitney Museum of American Art will also build one of the country’s largest public art projects on the southern edge of the peninsula featuring and installation called "Day’s End" by David Hammons.

According to Hudson River Park Trust planning documents, Manhattan's new $70 million Gansevoort Peninsula Park will include a "sandy beach area with kayak access on the south side, a lawn and seating area north of the beach, a large sports field, a salt marsh with habitat enhancements on the north side, a dog run and on its western side, picnic tables and lounge chairs."

"As Hudson River Park moves closer to completion, we are excited to be in position to start construction on one of our signature projects this coming spring," said Hudson River Park Trust President & CEO, Madelyn Wils.

Last fall, Pier 26 opened as Hudson River Park's first new public pier in a decade.

The James Corner Field Operations-designed Gansevoort Peninsula project is scheduled to open in spring 2023.

See the 1,600-foot tower proposed for the Grand Hyatt site next to Grand Central

2021-02-05T08:21:00-05:00

Renderings have been released for a tower replacing Midtown’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, Donald Trump’s first major Manhattan development. The proposed project at 175 Park Avenue would rise up to 83 stories and 1,646 feet, making it NYC's second-tallest building. The design comes from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and includes infrastructure upgrades to Grand Central Terminal and the subway station, as well as three elevated public outdoor spaces that wrap around the building.

Long-plagued Midtown office tower will be reborn as 660 Fifth Avenue: See new looks

2021-02-04T21:00:00-05:00

The office tower formerly known as 666 Fifth Avenue has shed both its superstitious address and its controversial connection to the Kushners. Brookfield Asset Management will undertake a $400 million overhaul of the 41-story Midton office tower. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, it will have a new glass facade and floor-to-ceiling windows, a new lobby and retail spaces, and new outdoor terraces when it’s completed in 2022.

Richard Rogers' first residential building in NYC, No. 33 Park Row, nears completion

2021-01-18T15:14:00-05:00

Sitting across the street from New York's City Hall Park in the Financial District, the first residential building in NYC designed by Richard Rogers and Graham Stirk of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, No. 33 Park Row, is nearing completion. First renderings of the building appeared on Archinect in May 2018.

Developed by Centurion Real Estate Partners and standing 331 feet tall, the 25-story steel-and-glass condo tower with its signature copper screen fins along the exterior will feature 30 residential units.

Official launch of the building is expected this spring.

Video of NYC's Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge facing high winds goes viral

2020-12-08T20:07:00-05:00

Earlier this month, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was closed due to weather. However, a video posted to Twitter of the bridge undergoing heavy winds went viral due to the sights and sounds recorded.

Bridges are built to pass strict safety and construction standards and be capable of withstanding various weight loads and weather conditions. Yet, in this case, the high winds that swept through the bridge created a sight that could have come out of a sci-fi film. On top of the dense fog cloaking the bridge, the video below left many viewers ready to share their thoughts.

"Suspension bridges — particularly the longest span in North America — are engineered to be flexible, and any movements on the bridge were within its safety standards," shares MTA Spokesperson Aaron Donovan. "The MTA's weather event safety protocols were activated early and worked as designed with no structural damage, no major vehicular accidents, and no injuries resulting from Monday's high winds."

Center for Climate Solutions on NYC's Governors Island proposed

2020-09-21T15:02:00-04:00

So it was, in a sense, good news that the nonprofit Trust for Governors Island released a proposal on Monday to rezone disused parts of the island, long set aside for economic redevelopment. It’s an aspirational plan, more than anything. The goal, which has been circulating for a while, is to incubate a new climate research center. Similar ideas have been advanced for decades on Governors Island.

NYT architecture critic Michael Kimmelman on the recently announced plan by the Trust for Governors Island to develop a center for climate solutions, designed by WXY architecture + urban design, on parts of the island.

"Architecturally speaking, everything will come down to the details — and the as-yet-undetermined tenant(s)," Kimmelman writes. "Meanwhile, here’s hoping the rezoning passes city muster. Planning the future of New York is what we need now. It involves many steps. This is a small but useful one. We need more."

New photos of Álvaro Siza's first U.S. building in NYC

2019-12-10T15:00:00-05:00

Archinect has received new photos of 611 West 56th Street, the first state-side building by Portuguese architect and 1992 Pritzker Prize winner, Álvaro Siza.

Currently under construction in Manhattan, the 37-story luxury condo tower is being jointly developed by Sumaida + Khurana (the group behind Tadao Ando's first New York City project at 152 Elizabeth Street) and LENY.

In a recent NYT interview, the 86-year-old Siza shared his response to winning this commission. "I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to build in Manhattan. Now, at my age, I thought I had lost the opportunity. I was very happy to be invited and thought, 'Well, let’s see if I still have energy for this project.'"

NYC due to adopt 'bird-friendly' glass to decrease death toll

2019-12-09T11:02:00-05:00

New York City lawmakers are poised to adopt legislation requiring “bird-friendly” glass on all new construction in an effort to cut down on the tens of thousands of birds who die flying into the city's buildings every year. New York will be the largest city in the nation to require glass that is visible to birds if the measure passes. Several California cities including San Francisco and Oakland have adopted similar rules

According to ABC News, the NYC Audubon estimates that 90,000 to 230,000 birds are killed annually from flying into buildings in New York City a number only a fraction of the 1 billion that die each year around the country. The cause of death comes from the reflective glass on taller buildings, ultimately rendering the high-flyers blind from the presence of these mirrored extrusions.

The legislation proposed would require that at least 90 percent of the exterior of the first 75 feet of all new buildings or major renovations be constructed with materials that are visible to birds, such as glass with a pattern, ABC News reports.
