# Park Hotel Shanghai

Park Hotel (Chinese: 国际饭店; pinyin: Guójì Fàndìan; lit. 'International Hotel'), historically the Shanghai Joint Savings Society Building, is an Art Deco hotel on Nanjing West Road, Shanghai, China. It was the tallest building in Asia from its completion in 1934 to 1963.

## History

The Shanghai Joint Savings Society Building, located at No.170 Nanjing Road West, was named after the Joint Savings Society, founded in 1923 by the merger of Yienyieh Commercial Bank, Kincheng Banking corporation, the China and South Sea Bank, and the Continental Bank. It was built as a competitor for the Cathay Hotel. The building was designed by the Hungarian-Slovakian architect Ladislav Hudec in March 1931 and construction was completed in December 1934. The building is 83.8 metres tall and contains 22 stories above ground and another 2 stories underground. Built by Voh Kee Construction Company, the piling project was finished by a Danish Company established by Corrit.
Strongly inspired by the American Radiator Building, it is among the well known building from Hudec in Shanghai. It remained the tallest building in China until 1966, and in Shanghai until 1983.
On February 23, 1938, G.H. Thomas wrote: "I stayed at the Park Hotel on Bubbling Well Road, where I had a great room and bath. The appointments, the bath and the service are just like in any first-class hotel in New York. A single room such as mine costs $8 a day without food."
It was built overlooking the horse racing course owned by the Shanghai Race Club, one of the most prestigious locations in Shanghai at the time. The Shanghai Race Course and the Shanghai Recreation Ground that it enclosed was later turned into the People's Park by the Shanghai Government. Originally the Park Hotel accommodated the Joint Savings Society Bank in its lower two floors, and the hotel on the upper floors.

## Exterior

The first three floors are finished with polished black granite from Shandong Province. The upper floors are clad with dark brown brick and ceramic face tiles. The exterior has had two major changes: there is a banking entrance on one corner, and a marquee was added that masks the unique silhouette of the top floors.

## Interior

In 1935, the outdoor garden on the 13th floor was converted into the 14th floor banquet space and surrounded by windows and covered with a retractable roof. That roof is now a back-lit glass panel set into a ceiling.
Most of the interior was changed by the government in the 1950s because they disliked the existing bourgeois style. The building was renovated again in the 1980s to partially refurbish into the original style. In 1997, American designer George Grigorian remodeled some the interior using an Art Deco style. American architect Christopher Choa restored the Art Deco lobby in 2001.

# Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority

The Maharashtra Housing Board (MHB) was established in 1948 and had a jurisdiction over the entire State of Maharashtra except for the Vidarbha region. This body undertook construction of residential buildings under various housing schemes for different sections of society. The allotment and maintenance of these buildings was being looked after by it. On the re-organization of the State, the Vidarbha Housing Board (VHB) was established in 1960 as a successor body to the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh Housing Board. It served the Amravati and Nagpur divisions of Maharashtra and its functions were similar to those of the MHB, except that it also advanced loan to co-operative housing societies, institutions, and local authorities for the construction of houses. The Bombay Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board was constituted in 1971. It was created to deal with the problems faced by tenants residing in dilapidated buildings in the Island City of Bombay and undertook its structural repairs and reconstruction to make them structurally sound and safe for habitation. The Bombay Slum Improvement Board was constituted in 1974, with intention to provide basic amenities, such as water taps, drainage, pathways, latrines and streetlights etc. in Bombay slums. To begin with, its activities were confined to the Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban Districts. These activities were later extended to the remainder of Maharashtra upon the launch of the Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Authority (MHADA), as established by the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976.
MHB and VHB were merged into a single entity known as MHADA, and it came into existence on 5 December 1977. The erstwhile Bombay Housing and Area Development Board was restructured by a Government Resolution dated 5.11.1992 and split into three separate Boards viz. Bombay Housing and Area Development Board, Bombay Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board and Bombay Slum Improvement Board Under the Government Resolution No. 2679/B, dated 22.7.1992. At present, MHADA coordinates and controls the activities of seven regional housing boards and setup for each revenue division in the state viz. Mumbai, Konkan, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Amravati, Aurangabad and two special purpose boards viz. Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board and Mumbai Slum Improvement Board. In Mumbai alone it has constructed about 3 lakh housing units.
Recently, MHADA has come out with a low cost housing scheme offering 2,593 apartments in Mumbai and Mira Road in its May 2012 Lottery Scheme. In a press conference on 28.08.2019 MHADA Chairman Uday Samant stated that MHADA may not call lottery for 3 years due to unavailability of housing stock. MHADA has stock of only 217 houses as of August 2019. On 6 August 2021, the organisation planned to initiate the process through a lottery system for allocation of low cost houses and will be situated in areas like Virar, Mira Road, Shirdhon, Khoni, Gotheghar, and Vengurla.

# Accademia Fiorentina

The Accademia Fiorentina was a philosophical and literary academy established in Florence in the Republic of Florence during the Italian Renaissance. It was active from 1540 to 1783.

## History

The Accademia Fiorentina was founded in Florence on 1 November 1540 as the Accademia degli Umidi,$^{:175}$ or "academy of the wet ones", in contrast to – or parody of – the name of the recently-founded Accademia degli Infiammati, or "academy of the burning ones", of Padova. The twelve founding members were Baccio Baccelli, Bartolomeo Benci, Pier Fabbrini, Paolo de Gei, Antonfrancesco Grazzini, Gismondo Martelli, Niccolò Martelli, Giovanni Mazzuoli, Cynthio d'Amelia Romano, Filippo Salvetti, Michelangelo Vivaldi and Simon della Volta.$^{:175}$ Within a few months of its foundation, on 25 March 1541,$^{:175}$ the academy changed its name to Accademia Fiorentina, in accordance with the wishes of Cosimo I de' Medici.
In 1783, by order of Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo, the Accademia Fiorentina was merged, together with the Accademia degli Apatisti and the Accademia della Crusca, into the new Accademia Fiorentina Seconda.$^{:226}$

## Activities

The principal topic of discussion of the academy was the question of what should constitute the basis for the Italian language, which until about this time was not so called; rather, it was referred to as volgare, roughly "the common tongue". While the Infiammati supported the suggestions of Pietro Bembo and Giovan Giorgio Trissino that the language of Boccaccio and Petrarch should serve as a model for literary Italian, the Umidi believed it should be based on contemporary Florentine usage and on the language of Dante. Three of them, Giambattista Gelli (1498–1563), Pier Francesco Giambullari (1495–1555) and Carlo Lenzoni (1501–1551), wrote treatises in support of this position.
