help! stop the cycle of madness. arnt these big photographs of junk just more junk? the aggregating approach rarely works.
The issue remains in the news thanks in large part to an advocacy group named Landmark West, which went to court to fight the redevelopment and discovered emails between current landmarks commission chairman Robert Tierney and Laurie Beckelman, a former chair of the very same commission who now works for MAD as a kind of "fixer," ushering the 2 Columbus Circle redevelopment through the city approvals process. The emails seem to show the pair colluding to keep the Stone building from being considered by the landmarks panel.bus-ted
Camouflaged in the color of blue sky, an unmanned balloon was launched last month on a simple mission: to capture with its dangling camera the view from 1,400 feet above the future site of the Freedom Tower. The idea was to show potential tenants how much of the world they would see out of their office windows if only they would sign on the dotted line.
"Among the most unusual features, however, are the outdoor teaching spaces scattered around the perimeter of the building where honed black granite walls provide “blackboards” so that science classes can be conducted with a traditional teaching wall, allowing for the cultural tradition so closely identified with Swarthmore’s humanities departments where outdoor classes and seminars have been taught for decades."
As part of these endeavors Solomon has curated "If I Owned the Trenton Bath House," an exhibition that poses this hypothetical question to leading area architects, designers, and other interested parties. Their answers - essays and visual renderings - comprise the exhibit, along with historic photos of the building, at Art's Garage at 326 4th Avenue in Ewing. The show is on view through Thursday, September 22.

outbid on these 5 snapshots taken in front of the tv on july 21, 1969.
It's a rare occasion—that Wow! moment—when art stops you dead in your tracks and makes you forget everything you thought you knew. I was struck dumb the first time I saw one of Cady Noland's corroded milk crates filled with useless automotive junk. No knowledge of Dada paved the way to that encounter or mitigated the powerful sense of abjection radiated by her distressed container, into which she had tossed a couple of Bud empties, some oilcans, and a "dead" rubber chicken. It wasn't the "shock of the new," as Robert Hughes described the riveting and alienating force of early-20th-century art. Rather, it was precisely because I thought I was on familiar ground that the rupture of the unexpected was so acute.

The door has opened wider for jurisdictions to legally take private property for a broad range of city improvement purposes, even when improvement entails private investment and ownership. Moreover, given this ruling and the number of obsolete private properties in urban America, the eminent domain tool is likely to be wielded more frequently by urban planners and elected officials.
For Riley, Wright was a true innovator, and for that, people are prepared to pay the price to keep his buildings going. "It appears to me that there are quite a few people who are willing to forestall the effects of time when it comes to Wright's work. The big problem is not the public structures, where there are larger resources to draw upon, but the single family homes. Even the most devoted and houseproud owners will find the costs to be a considerable burden."
and thats why wright's private homes carry only a 20% premium over comparable homes.
