Flatiron Building

O Flatiron Building, originalmente Fuller Building, foi um dos primeiros arranha-céus construídos em Nova Iorque, Estados Unidos, e tem esse nome por ter a forma semelhante de um ferro de passar roupas. Foi inaugurado em 1902, e está localizado entre a Fifth Avenue, a Broadway e a 23rd Street. Possui 87 metros de altura e 22 andares. Quando inaugurado, foi um dos prédios mais altos do mundo. O bairro em torno do edifício foi chamado de Distrito Flatiron (Flatiron District) após a sua construção. Foi designado, em 20 de novembro de 1979, um edifício do Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos bem como, em 29 de junho de 1989, um Marco Histórico Nacional. Arquitetura O Flatiron Building foi desenhado pelo arquiteto e urbanista Daniel Burnham no estilo Beaux-Arts. Como uma coluna grega clássica, a sua fachada de calcário e terracota é dividida em base, fuste e capitel. Esboços primitivos feitos por Burnham mostram um projeto com um (não executado) mostrador de relógio e uma coroa bem mais elaborada do que no edifício atual. O Flatiron Building não foi o primeiro edifício do seu tipo: exemplos proeminentes incluem o Edifício Gooderham de Toronto, construído em 1892 e o English-American Building em 1897 na cidade de Atlanta, embora estes sejam menores do que sua contraparte em Nova York.

Flatiron Building

Flatiron Building je 22-nadstropni poslovni nebotičnik, ki stoji na 5. aveniji blizu križišča z Broadwayem v newyorškem okrožju Manhattan, ob južnem robu Madison Square Parka. 5. avenija in Broadway se križata pod ostrim kotom in nebotičnik zaseda ozek trikotni prostor na robu parka, ki ga tvorijo križišča 5. avenije, Broadwaya in vzhodne 23. ulice. Za čim boljši izkoristek parcele je stavba v obliki pravokotnega trikotnika z ostro konico na severnem delu, ki spominja na likalnik, po čemer je dobila tudi ime. Že ob izgradnji leta 1902 je zaradi svoje nenavadne oblike in velikosti požel odobravanje javnosti ter postal znamenitost New Yorka. Bil je takrat najvišji nebotičnik severno od finančnega okrožja in prvi nebotičnik severno od trga Union Square. Od sredine 20. stoletja je bil z razvojem Manhattna deležen manj pozornosti, a je privlačnost obdržal tudi po izgradnji višjih nebotičnikov, kot sta Chrysler Building in Empire State Building – verjetno tudi zato, ker je zaradi lege ob odprtem trgu edini slavni nebotičnik v New Yorku, ki ga ne zastirajo druge stavbe in ga lahko ljudje fotografirajo z ulice v celoti. Arhitektura Flatiron Building je zasnoval arhitekt Daniel Burnham kot neorenesančno palačo z Beaux-Arts okrasjem. Ima ogrodje iz jeklenih traverz in fasado, v večjem delu prekrito s ploščami iz glazirane terakote. Po zgledu klasičnega grškega stebra je razdeljena na bazo, glavni del in kapitel z okrasnimi elementi, kot so napušči, ornamenti in altane. Trinadstropna baza je prekrita z apnencem. Prvotno je imela stavba 20 nadstropij in podstrešje, visoka je bila približno 87 m, ob razširitvi leta 1905 pa so ji dodali še strešno etažo (»penthouse«) in jo povišali na 94 m. Tako ima stavba zdaj 21 nadstropij oz. 22, če štejemo še podstrešje, ki se nahaja med 20. in 21. nadstropjem. Sklici Viri Alexiou, Alice S. (2010).

Winston Churchill Square

Sir Winston Churchill Square, at the southwest corner of Bleecker Street, Downing Street, and Sixth Avenue, is a .05-acre (0.020 ha) garden and sitting area in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. History New York City Department of Parks & Recreation purchased the parcel in 1943. George Vellonakis designed the sitting area, which was rebuilt from 1998 to 1999. The Bedford Downing Block Association assists with the square's maintenance. Professor Emeritus Bert Waggott, of Cooper Union and Pratt Institute, has overseen all maintenance since Spring 2002, until his passing in May 2014. Prof. Waggott ran a crew of volunteers - yet still performed most of what remains to this day, thanks in part to the efforts of his widow Rosemarie. Artist Bob Brisley currently oversees all design, maintenance, and plantings, building upon what remains of former gardener Waggott's genius, keeping alive a vibrantly colorful and lovely park. The park features an ornamental armillary sphere at its center. References External links Media related to Sir Winston Churchill Square, Manhattan, New York City at Wikimedia Commons

Studebaker Building (Columbia University)

The Studebaker Building is located at 615 West 131st Street, between Broadway and 12th Avenue, and between 131st and 132nd Streets, in the Manhattanville section of the Upper West Side in New York City. It is in the northeast quadrant of the Manhattanville Campus of Columbia University. It is near the New York City Subway and several local bus routes. It is one of three historic buildings to have been kept during the university's Manhattanville expansion, the others being Prentis Hall and the Nash Building. The former Studebaker automobile finishing plant, complete with a freight elevator, was constructed in 1923. It is constructed largely of brick with a decorative white porcelain trim, is 6 stories tall, has a plot size of 175 feet by 200 feet, and has 210,000 square feet of floorspace. The blue Studebaker logo used between 1912 and 1934 is still visible on the southwest corner near the top. Originally built as a finishing plant, it was later used to store and distribute cars and parts manufactured in South Bend, Indiana, as a sales and services headquarters for the company. Studebaker sold the building due to declining profits to the Borden Milk Company in 1937, which used it as a milk processing plant. Later it was home to various warehouses (e.g. for the American Museum of Natural History), offices, and small manufacturing facilities such as the Madame Alexander doll company and Scientific Prototypes which manufactured sirens for every NYPD police vehicle from 1979 until 1989. In the late 1980s, Columbia University began to rent office space there, and subsequently bought the building. In 2007, most of the Finance department for the University, including the Student Financial Services department, moved to the Studebaker Building from the historic Kent Hall. References
Brooklyn Tower

Brooklyn Tower (původně známý jako 9 DeKalb Avenue, 340 Flatbush Avenue) je superštíhlý mrakodrap ve čtvrti Brooklyn v New Yorku vysoký 327 m. Stavba je jedním z nejvyšších mrakodrapů v New Yorku a zároveň nejvyšší budovou v Brooklynu. Nachází se ve čtvrti Downtown Brooklyn (DoBro) na náměstí Albee Square a zahrnuje byty, obchodní a kancelářské prostory. Součástí stavby bude i stávající budova Dime Savings Bank Building, dokončená v roce 1908. Navrhla ji kancelář SHoP Architects, která navrhla například ještě vyšší Steinway Tower. Výstavba budovy byla zahájena na začátku března 2017 a do července 2021 dosáhla výšky 219,7 m, čímž převýšila City Point III (219,5 m, známý také jako Brooklyn Point) na pozici nejvyšší budovy v Brooklynu. Výšky 327 metrů bylo dosaženo 28. října 2021 (původní návrh 325 m). Na podzim 2022 byl dokončen exteriér mrakodrapu a téměř dokončen interiér. Věž Brooklyn Tower zabírá většinu parcely trojúhelníkového tvaru ohraničeného na jihu ulicí 9 DeKalb Avenue, na severozápadě ulicí Fleet Street a na severovýchodě ulicí 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension. V jihozápadním rohu se nachází náměstí Albee Square. Pozemek má rozlohu 4 307,6 m², včetně budovy banky. Věž má šestiúhelníkový tvar, který vychází z vnějších stěn rotundy v přízemí banky. Na každé ze šesti stran má Brooklynská věž mírné ustoupení (odstupňovaná podlaží), které je zakončeno korunou střechy. Fasáda mrakodrapu je obložena kamenem, bronzem a nerezovými materiály. Sokl je z kamene, aby ladil s budovou banky. Fasáda je navržena tak, že při pohledu na obytnou věž z určitého úhlu se dvě sousední strany jeví jako jedna rovina. Jedná se o odkaz na starší mrakodrapy ve stylu art deco, jako jsou Chrysler Building a Rockefeller Center. Ve věži se nachází 150 kondominií začínajících v 53. patře, 425 nájemních bytů o celkové ploše 43 000 m² a 9 300 m² obchodních prostor na rohu ulic Fleet Street a Flatbush Avenue Extension. kromě toho je zde 11 150 m² vnitřních a venkovních rekreačních zařízení. V 66. patře se nachází „Sky park“ s lodžií pod širým nebem, jehož součástí je basketbalové hřiště. V 85. patře se nachází „Sky Lounge“ s několika salonky, bary a venkovním krbem s panoramatickým výhledem na New York. Budova Dime Savings Bank Budova banky, která je integrovaná do věže v její spodní části, byla postavena v letech 1906–1908 podle návrhů Mowbraye a Uffingera a v letech 1931–1932 rozšířena firmou Halsey, McCormack & Helmer. Budova má tvar šestiúhelníku se zkosenými rohy. V roce 2014 byla banka prodána a k budově Dime Savings Bank byla postavena Brooklynská věž. V mrakodrapu se Dime Savings Bank přestavuje na obchodní jednotku. Budova banky byla 19. července 1994 kvůli své fasádě a interiéru prohlášena za památku města New York.

Fort Hill Park

Fort Hill Park (formerly Fort Knyphausen) is a .845-acre (0.342 ha) public green space located in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island, New York. It is located on the slope of the northernmost hilltop on the Dongan Hills ridge. During the American Revolutionary War, the borough was a stronghold of the loyalist movement, welcoming General William Howe’s occupying army in August 1776. At the summit of Fort Hill, Prussian general Wilhelm von Knyphausen (1716–1800) founded an earthen redoubt (along with the King's Orange Rangers). In honor of its commander, the structure carried the name Fort Knyphausen for the duration of the Revolutionary War. In January 1780, Von Knyphausen successfully repelled an American assault against the fort. The fort also served as a base of operations in raids launched against American positions in New Jersey. Following the British evacuation of Staten Island in November 1783, the fort was abandoned, with its square base later used as a reservoir. The parcel that became Fort Hill Park and the surrounding area was purchased and developed by wealthy German furrier and businessman, Charles A. Herpich, who built a mansion on the area that is now Fort Hill Park. The development of this hillside was made possible by his construction of a windmill and cisterns on his property, which is now the location of Liotti Ikefugi Playground. Many of the surrounding properties, including the Vanderzee-Harper house, were built by Herpich and sold to prominent residents. Herpich died on June 18th of 1898 by suspected suicide after a string of business troubles. Little is known of what happened to the property after his death, but it fell into disrepair and eventually demolished around 1987 after neighbors complained to the city. Parts of the foundation can still be seen today as the embankment between 11 Fort Hill Park and 97 Fort Place. In 1999 developer Brent Lally planned to build homes on the former property. The nonprofit Trust for Public Land entered into six years of negotiations with Lally, purchasing the site in 2004 and transferring the .84-acre (0.34 ha) parcel to the City. The City purchased the property, and it was dedicated as a park on August 2, 2004. In 2008, the blue indigo granite and bluestone capstone wall was restored, along with a bluestone sidewalk to enhance the historic appearance of the park.
