A Word From The Editors
Inspiration strikes in the unlikeliest of places... BY TERESA MARBOE, AIA AND KATIE CHEVALIER, AIA, LEED AP BD+C
When we mapped out ArchPLUS topics for the year, we used “Stranger Things” as a placeholder name for this issue. We were deep into an obsession with the Netflix television show’s first season, and “stranger things” seemed the perfect way to describe our intent: to showcase architecture that was unusual, daring, and like the show, just plain fun. The name stuck, and as you will see from the contents of this issue, it is a fitting descriptor. The word “strange” has a negative connotation, but the leap from “strange” to “innovative” can often be achieved just by the passage of time. By allowing ourselves to appreciate those things that perplex or unsettle us, perhaps we will unwittingly spark the inspiration for future “strange” - and groundbreaking - design. Look no further than our first feature for an example of extraordinary architecture. Herb Feuerstein, AIA takes us on a tour of Antoni Gaudi’s Barcelona, with anecdotes and photos from his recent trip. Then, we return to our own backyard as Kate Wagner (creator of the popular “McMansion Hell” blog) breaks down Westchester’s architectural antecedents, and the strange things that have informed its vernacular.
6 ArchPLUS Fall 2017
And don’t miss the photo collection of “Stranger Architecture” that our members have encountered over the course of their work. We have all been on site visits or field measuring expeditions where we can’t believe what we are seeing, and as the saying goes,“a picture is worth a thousand words.” We hope you enjoy this issue. It was a fun one for us to put together, and the perfect way to close out our editorial year. Check back in with us in January for our annual design issue, featuring the winning projects from AIA Westchester/Hudson Valley’s 2017 Design Awards. We wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. See you at Archibrü 81!

President’s Perspective
Stranger Things BY MICHAEL BERTA, AIA
We are asked to question, what is strange? As we come upon this crazed season, also known as the holiday season or yearend, I found strange in seeing a 25’ tall stuffed Christmas teddy bear in midtown Manhattan. Strange can be defined in any number of forms, shapes, configurations and styles. As architects, we come across situations on a daily basis that could be considered strange or unusual. We’re taught to think outside the box and to generate creative and unique designs. Now let’s be honest, who has walked by something that is out of the ordinary and done a double take? How many of us have stopped, walked around and stared at it? Strange, to most, is something outside of our normal circumstances. Perhaps it is unseen, unsettling, unusual, and offbeat.
Let’s think about it, there are things that were considered strange in the 1950’s that are now part of our everyday lives. Normalcy changes and it’s your vision that impacts that change. We’ve dedicated this issue to this idea, to hear what has surprised you. During the brink of holiday season, we lose ourselves in the busy and forget to observe. Always keep in mind that what you might think is strange or unusual, might be considered to be normal to someone else. We should always observe strange items and attempt to understand them before we form an opinion. Learn how it works, where it came from, and what it means to our current state and even to the far future. I challenge you to observe the abnormal and see what it does to you, even if it is a giant stuffed teddy bear in midtown.
Sincerely, How many of us have looked at a Frank Gehry design, whether it his Stata Center design, the EMP design or one of his other buildings and asked what was he thinking? Now, how many of us love the building and think it’s the greatest design ever? Who has walked onto a project site and looked at a detail and was bewildered, only to have your client boasting about it? Being strange can be extraordinary and groundbreaking. That, I believe, is what we should all aim for. As architects and volunteers, we should hope to unsettle ourselves and try new things to create the unseen. We can call that advancement.

Emerging Professionals
EP CORNER QUARTERLY FEATURE
The resource for Emerging Professional AIA chapter members October was a busy month for the Emerging Professionals. Associates gathered for the evening on October 5th when Michael Riscica, AIA presented ‘How to Get Started with ARE 5.0”. The evening was full of essential content and discussed the importance of licensure for everyone who enters the profession. The attendees were reminded of the chapter’s scholarship program, ARE study sessions and ARE loan library. Michael Riscica added to the collection by donating his own book “How to Pass the Architecture Registration Exam.” We ended the evening with giving away the ARE 5.0 PPD section of the Brightwood ARE study material. Thanks again to Michael for joining us for the evening and enlightening our Associates. Make sure to check out Michael’s book from the AIAWHV study library!

When You’re Strange... BY PETER GAITO JR, AIA
To visit, go to www.atlasobscura.com
To visit, go to untappedcities.com
As architects, we are forever students of buildings, places and constructed items – what went right, what went wrong, and then try to learn from their lessons as research for our own projects. We do this for both business and pleasure, and the best times are when the two are intertwined. Most of these traditional viewing/learning routes include books, exhibits, walking tours, magazines and the occasional tv show. Every once in a while, we encounter a building (or two or three) that does not quite make sense or simply strikes you as a bit odd, and it triggers questions: Why does it look like that? Why is it built there? Why was it built in the first place? The more strange you find it, the more questions you ask yourself relating to its design, its origins, clients and inhabitants. These spaces are located all around the world and some are probably within walking distance of your home. For those that intentionally seek the interesting, offbeat and strange, in the built environment, you should visit two fantastic websites: Atlas Obscura and Untapped Cities. Both are super cool sites that offer unique information and stunning photography of architecture and places to view, visit, and explore in the NYC area and all over the world. They each also allow you to sign up for mailers, for articles and upcoming events. Atlas Obscura’s main categories include Abandoned, Architectural Oddities, Catacombs, Crypts & Cemeteries, Ghost Towns, Natural Wonders and Unusual Monuments. Recent articles included Abandoned Subway Stations and the Roosevelt Island Cat Sanctuary. Untapped Cities is the tamer of the two, but also offers quite a diverse array of very engaging articles ranging from Architecture, tours, Art, Food and Travel. Frequent articles include Architecture mapping as it relates to a specific point in history. Locations of secret spaces within commonly known buildings, Building Features from Above and What If? Articles, which suppose if a famous building were to be used for some other purpose. Happy Exploring…

AIAWHV Annual Design Awards This year’s Design Awards was a packed house. On October 11, 2017 over one hundred attendees started the evening with a brief presentation by Richard Kayer, FAIA on his involvement with the design of the venue and past design awards winner, the Hudson River Museum. A tour and cocktail hour followed, and the night ended with the presentation of some amazing projects by our local members. The design awards format was revised last year to limit the awards to Architects within our chapter vicinity only. This has really revamped our annual awards, demonstrated this year in the attendance and the interest of our members. The event was standing room only into the lofts of the space. Many thanks to the members of our amazing Design Awards committee who continue to strive for excellence for this annual event and continues to set the bar higher. The chapter is looking forward to next year’s design awards and featuring even more great design work. Watch for submittal guidelines to be released in early Summer 2018 and watch for the desgin award winners and projects to be featured in the winter issue of ArchPLUS due to be released in January 2018.

2017 Quad State Conference This year there was a spin on the annual state conference as four states (New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) joined forces to create a more dynamic conference than in years past. AIA NYS began our Quad State agenda Wednesday afternoon by convening the end of year director’s meeting which included Tom Vonier, FAIA (2017 AIA President) and William Bates, FAIA (2018 AIA President) as guest attendees. Tom shared current AIA lobbying emphasis for renewal of comprehensive tax credits relating to built environment initiatives as well as advancing allied association joint efforts at all layers of government. Bill shared his thoughts for a robust 2018 AIA agenda and an exciting roster of programs at 2018 Grass Roots in San Diego. Thursday’s keynote speaker Mark Ripple, principal of Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (recipients of AIA’s 2014 Firm of Year award), outlined the firm’s design process based on their four part framework integrating “Design Excellence,” “Environmental Responsibility,” “Community Outreach” & “Client Commitment.” Mark highlighted examples of how each of the initiatives surfaced throughout a diverse range of projects shared during the presentation. AIA WHV’s State Director, John Fry, AIA, had the opportunity to attend an especially relevant program regarding “Downtown Revitalization Initiatives in the North East”. This program outlined 2016/17 Governor Cuomo’s $100 million dollar ‘Downtown Revitalization Initiative’. The NYS DRI funded 7 development projects around NY State including 3 within the AIA WHV chapter region.

AIA NYS Update: Using the terms Architect and Intern in New York Advisory Notice (Stateside Associates October 13, 2017 Page 63) Titles for non-licensed individuals in Architecture In December 2016, the AIA approved a policy statement that supports the title of “Architectural Associate” or “Design Professional” for licensure candidates meeting certain pre-licensure criteria. Use of these titles for non-licensed individuals is not permissible in New York. NYS Education Law Section 7302 limits use of the title “architect” to those who are licensed or otherwise authorized in New York as architects. The term “Architectural Associate” suggests that an individual is an architect through its use of the adjective “Architectural” and the implication that professional services are offered. Use of derivatives or combined terms of the word “architect”, as in “Architectural Designer” and “Project Architect” are similarly misleading to the public and not permissible in New York. The second title, “Design Professional” is defined in the New York State Business Corporation Law as someone who is licensed in New York as an architect, landscape architect, professional engineer, land surveyor, or geologist and who may be the licensee shareholder of a design professional service corporation (DPC). As such, the conveyance of that title upon a non-licensee is not permitted. What are the reciprocity requirements for an architect licensed elsewhere? New York allows licensure reciprocity. An individual may submit their NCARB certificate or the individual may show the board the individual has ten years of practice and passed a practical exam. Finally, individuals may apply with twelve years of practical experience, provided “that each complete year of college study satisfactory to the department may at the discretion of the board be accepted in lieu of two years of experience but not to exceed nine years toward the required total of twelve years.” NY Education Law § 7304 State Contact Robert Lopez , Executive Secretary New York State Architecture Board 518-474-3817

The Wonderfully Weird World of Antoni Gaudi BY HERB FEUERSTEIN, AIA PHOTOS BY HERB FEUERSTEIN, AIA My wife (Beth) and I visited Barcelona this summer, a magical city that has been on our list for some time, in part because of my love of the visionary Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. I discovered Gaudi while studying for my architectural degree at the Pratt Institute, 35 years ago. I was drawn to the beauty and irrationality of his work, and as a fan of the Grateful Dead the psychedelic properties of his work appealed to me as well. His innovative structural and organic ornamental systems embodied the adage that there are no straight lines in nature. Gaudi’s work inspired and intrigued me as a transitional, modernist architect, whose break from the past presaged modern architecture.

Beth and I like to travel like locals so we rented an apartment in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona across the street from a covered food market and rented a scooter to get around. On our first full day we battled traffic and jetlag to travel past the outskirts of Barcelona proper to Colonia Guell, the site of Gaudi’s unfinished Crypt Guell. Here Gaudi designed a church which was never completed, for the utopian textile workers village built by his patron Eusebi Guell. An underpopulated backwater built in the 1890s, Colonia Guell had the dusty feel of a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. It is not well known and was the only Gaudi building that we visited that was not crowded. With its variety of leaning columns and thin structural brick ribs, Crypt Guell is one of my favorite of Gaudi’s work. The decorative tiles and flower power windows seem to have come from the future. Satisfied with the day’s accomplishment, we scootered back throught the rush hour traffic of Barcelona proper, and enjoyed a meal and a bottle of local wine on our rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
Casa Batllo. Photo by Herb Feuerstein.
Casa Batllo was up next. The renovation of a traditional row house mansion on the grand boulevard Passeig de Gracia is one of Gaudi’s most popular works. It was a brutally hot day and the entrance lines were long, but the premium untimed tickets we bought in advance allowed us to go right in. Casa Batllo is full of clever lighting, ventilation and decorative innovations which often go unnoticed amid the allegorical and hallucinatory aspects of the design. I mentioned the hallucinatory qualities to a young hipster while waiting in line for the men’s room. He was surprised and amused to hear it coming from a sweating old greybeard,
but nodded in agreement. The incredible level of collaboration with the craftsman who realized the plaster, tile, wood and metal work is something most architects today can only dream about. The building was unfurnished but didn’t feel empty with crowds of people inside. By the end of our visit I was drenched in sweat from a combination of the Barcelona sun and stifling droves of tourists, but left happy. On a cloudy Saturday we headed North to Park Guell. After our 45 minute uphill journey we entered from a side entrance. It cut the walking time and we were hoping to avoid the crowds.
Unfortunately our sneak attack was foiled and we waited in another unavoidable line, where a light rain gave us respite from the summer heat. Once in, we experienced the park in reverse. Like an experimental novel, our journey ending at the beginning. The symmetrical classic entry and hypostyle supported main plaza above, turn Beaux Arts and Greek architecture on their ear. The decorative tile work surrounding the main entry, hypostyle ceiling, and serpentine bench are beautiful and truly amazing. The park was packed with tourists from all over the world, many flocking to Gaudi’s mosaic lizard, the iconic symbol of Barcelona. The view overlooking the city was spectacular.

Beth was in heaven since pottery and gardening are two of her favorite hobbies. See if you can find the surfer’s dream curl of a wave in one of the colonnades. Enjoying this opportunity to photograph Gaudi’s work outdoors, I often tried replicating the classic shots from my collection of Gaudi literature. I even managed to get a few photographs of the crowded plaza as if Beth and I were the only ones there, just like in my Gaudi books. Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera, is an apartment building not far from Casa Batllo. We had intended to combine it with our visit to Casa Batllo a couple days earlier, but after my battery died and after all the water weight I lost, we had returned to the apartment where we collapsed. Although delayed, our subsequent visit was worth riding down the Passeig de Gracia, with it’s high end shopping and beautiful people. By this time, we had traded in the scooter for a BMW GS700 motorcycle to travel farther outside the city in style and comfort. We rode almost 1,000 miles visiting the medieval city of Girona, the beaches of the Costa Brava and Ripoll, an unremarkable town in the Pyrenees Mountains. Casa Mila has an undulating facade and sculptural roof forms whose geometry seems computer designed, although Gaudi worked only with sketches and models. It is actually an innovative modern building with a self-supporting stone facade, column supported floor slabs and underground parking garage. Unfortunately the art nouveau furnished apartment on the tour showed how difficult it is to fit rectilinear furniture in curved rooms. The kitchen was particularly awkward. Since Casa Batllo was unfurnished, the fantasy there was not disturbed. Casa Batllo. Photo by Herb Feuerstein.

We visited the church of Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s most famous work, on our last day in Barcelona. Less than 25 percent complete at the time of Gaudi’s death in 1926, the construction was slowed by the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Many of his drawings were destroyed leaving the completion up to later architects. Since construction resumed in the 1950s it is now very difficult to determine what was built in the spirit of the original design and what elements are the results of later architect’s interpretations. Nonetheless in
spite of the inconsistencies, the space is an amazing and awe inspiring experience. We were fortunate to visit at the end of the day when the changing light made the magic of stained glass transform the space. It was fun to see how classic cathedral architecture and Roman Catholic iconography were interpreted and transformed. The crowds were always looking up open mouthed. This is probably why the area is known as a haven for pickpockets. It is always wonderful to experience great architecture in person. Gaudi’s freedom, playfulness and, yes, weird design masked his innovative techniques and rigorous structural geometries. His work was even better than I expected and well worth the 35 year wait.

The Postmodern Vernacular of Westchester County BY KATE WAGNER
“In a landscape where everything has a gable and is lathered in foam ticky-tacky, what really denotes a house from a house-themed putt-putt course?” As the Internet’s self-appointed McMansion guru, I have devoted more time than is reasonable to looking at gaudy, oversized houses. Many of these homes follow a similar pattern: large, irregular volumes vaguely dressed in the attire of houses past designed at car, rather than human scale. However, many of the visual tropes of McMansions (especially their two-story foyers), have a very specific origin, and it isn’t the 1700s. It’s Postmodernism. McMansions are, in all their fumbling, misshapen glory, the botched vernacular execution of Postmodernism. Their exaggerated details and shocking juxtapositions of different historical tropes very much fit Frederick Jameson’s idea of the “pastiche,” or the “random cannibalization of the styles of the past,” one of his key criticisms of Postmodern classicism. What
Dillard’s in Norfolk, Virginia. Public Domain.
we see in McMansions critics like Jameson saw in all of Postmodernism, which maintained a stylistic hegemony on most commercial and institutional buildings until the mid 2000s. When we look at these homes through this lens, their otherwise strange attributes begin to make a bit more sense. Many of the buildings these homes borrowed from were not residential buildings (though there are many notable examples that share common characteristics, such as the front facade of Robert Stern’s 1974 Lang Residence and his influential shingle-style abodes) but from commercial buildings.

It does not take an expert historian to notice the similarities between a Dillard’s department store entrance (itself borrowed from the grand banking halls of the 19th and 20th centuries) and the entryway of many a McMansion. The copying of mall and bank architecture ties the McMansion more to Jameson’s idea of the postmodernism as the consumption of isolated images and signifiers (in this case of wealth) than to the populism and heroism of the Venturis or Charles Jencks. The idea of collecting and consuming individual signifiers of wealth, such as tall foyers and stone floors, is at the crux of why McMansions look the way they do. Because many of these houses were treated as investments to be bought and sold rather than homes to be lived in with a family, they have to contain within them the largest numbers of buzzwords like “walk in closets,” “formal dining room”, “great room,” “two-story foyer,” “basement bar”, and more. Only so much stuff can fit under one roof before things begin to get hairy. McMansions’ irregular rooflines are often a result of desiring cathedral or other special types of ceiling on the second floor, or, even more commonly, to best accommodate the structural needs of the roof as it spans across more and more rooms. We don’t like to think of how much impact a Wawa or a Walmart has had on the field of architecture, but the more we look at commercial architecture and how it is transcribed by the residential sector, we can find more and more startling similarities. In a landscape where everything has a gable and is lathered in foam ticky-tacky,

Law Firm or McMansion Foyer? You decide! (Photo used under Fair Use.)
what really denotes a house from a housethemed putt-putt course? In their spirited populism, the Postmodern theorists claimed that every-day people knew what they liked and that what they liked should be taken just as seriously as serious architecture. This effacement between high and lowbrow culture had a sinister byproduct of homebuyers choosing custom builders who would cater to their every mismatched window choice over skilled architects who could assimilate a complicated list of demands and features into a streamlined whole. Perhaps in retrospect the better populist attitude would have been ‘nothing is too good for the everyman’ instead of the ‘everyman knows best.’ The former inspired great projects like Wright’s Usonian houses. The latter inspired the shopping mall.

The Woes of Big Box Retail When is Scotch Tape Acceptable? What Stranger Things are in your Computer? BY JACLYN TYLER, AIA, LEED AP BD+C
What do we expect when we order from a large corporation, such as Dell, or any of the other big box retail companies? Why wouldn’t we expect to be treated as just a number? Essentially that is what we are asking for, isn’t it? As professionals, our world has changed. Yes, we all (I think all...) still use pen/pencil and paper and sketch our ideas out, don’t we? So when your computer crashes during the initials phases of design, it really isn’t such a big deal, is it? We just put on our big people shoes and get to work sketching away for our next client meeting. I mean who doesn’t like a good ol’ fashion sketch? Our clients actually dig that kind of thing, so when our computer quits on us in the tenth hour, it really is a blessing. All true statements during the design phase. However, what happens when it’s during the final stages of design and you have permit and pricing sets due out the door immediately? As in yesterday? Well the first thing is, don’t worry about rushing to contact the big box retail company you purchased your newest and greatest computer from. Well, unless you want to take your number and stand in the ‘deli line’. Essentially that’s what it is, right? Wait... you purchased Pro Support?! The extra service to speak to someone in your own country, who speaks English! Perfect! Now it will be smooth sailing through the process. The machine will be up and running again in no time. Thanks Goodness! Those deadlines will
40 ArchPLUS Fall 2017
Well, until the next business day comes and you sit around waiting during the time slot given like the washing machine repair man or cable man gives. It’s OK.... you can keep sketching on the
design projects you have. Quick piece of advice... you should really learn to space your projects in phases so they aren’t all at the end of their lifeline at the same time so you can sketch on a few if this ever happens again - but don’t worry it won’t because you will learn your lesson by the end of this process. So back to the scenario of you waiting.... and waiting... and waiting... your time slot comes and goes and the “certified” technician arrives right before the end of the work day and is there for five hours. Should you offer them dinner? Is that part of the Pro Support package? A requirement of some kind? Nah, you decide to pass on offering him dinner. I mean, how would he

be met. So, moved to the front of the line, you get to speak with a representative right away. Wait.... there is more good news! You don’t need to package your computer up and send it back to them and wait a week. Your extra purchase of Pro Support entitles you to an On Site Certified [insert company name, in my case Dell] technician visit. Terrific! You will be up and running the very next business day....
Setup from technician 1 at least assisted with meeting a midnight deadline
Technician kindly applied ALL of the thermal control on the main processor and decided to leave the other processor nice and clean
The second technician claimed the fan cable slice was the reason he couldn’t get the monitor to turn on after he completed the second motherboard replacement
continue installing the new motherboard if he’s eating. You don’t want any food crumbs left behind in your computer. It is going to be bad enough in a few minutes when he tells you he has decided to leave scotch tape inside your fancy work machine because he broke a piece off of the new motherhood and thought two layers of scotch tape was a good idea.
to open an email to see the next tech will in fact not be there tomorrow, but in two more days. Well... OK, you don’t need to travel with the computer until after then.
all agree the “certified” technician probably did not slice the cables, but surely he saw there was a problem with them, right? Well let’s move on from all of this... as the second technician can’t stop shaking his head at what he is finding inside your very expensive work machine. He will have you back up and running shortly he promises. So why would you expect anything less? Why are you surprised at the end of this next technician session ,when he tells you he doesn’t have all the parts and it would be best to just do what came basic with your purchase and not the extra Pro Support. Yes that is correct, ship the computer back for them to replace everything and send it back to you in 3-5 business days. No big deal right? Just another week without income and without meeting client deadlines.
So after five intense hours of work... you are left with a machine with a working screen, but you need to hook up an external keyboard and mouse. No big deal, you can sling those suckers over your back as you travel the train at the end of the week. Oh, the tech informs you another technician will be back tomorrow to fix the new issues? OK, calm down... you can get your midnight deadline submitted on this set up and then let the new tech fix it all back up tomorrow. So you “thank” the technician and send him on his way only
Wifi card cover found floating around inside the laptop
Enter new tech (four hours late again) on the assigned date. He is entering a battle scene! You are on the phone with the next of many supervisors up the line in both sales and tech support. So the new technician begins to open up the computer to see what kind of surprises the first technician left. Oh boy, it’s like Christmas or your birthday! Don’t you just love surprises?! So here they all come.., pile them on! First layer of scotch tape.. check. Second layer of scotch tape... check. Wifi card cover floating around inside the machine... check. Thermal control only on the main processor and not the dual backup processor... check. Sliced monitor cable... check. Sliced fan cable... check. Now, let’s be clear here... we can probably
Missing Screws from the computer were left on the desk
Now, remember, second technician knows the issues and the complaints you have regarding the first technician so he is going to leave your computer in tip top shape. Wait... extra screws on the desk? Mouse pad smashed into the computer? Keyboard wavy? Didn’t he know Architects don’t have time for surfing? We don’t need any waves.... Think positive... the scotch tape has been removed from the computer. There is always a positive to each situation. So up the supervisor chain you try to go. However, you will hit a road block. One where the supervisor thinks if you are an Architect, you can certainly

Extra Screws just left sitting on the desk instead of putting them back into the computer
afford multiple computers for back up. Remember that line. Maybe you can use it some day for your own products and demonstrate the complete lack of faith you have in your own product. But by the end of the conversation... you have made a little bit of headway... the Big Box Retail is going to go all out and offer you $100 for your two weeks of troubles and loss of income.
Waves belong in the ocean and not on a laptop computer. The technician thought the mouse button should be shoved inside the computer and buried under the waves.
At the end of the whole process though, the good news is, you will get your computer back in the three business days as you have really made an impact at the top level. [Insert rolled eyes.] You are no longer a number. You will receive your computer back and dive into all those deadlines you missed and get back on track. Then... once you are finally caught up, you will come back and revisit all of these items and make sure that you aren’t just a number. You are going to order a better “back up” computer to make sure this doesn’t happen again. You will evaluate all the lessons learned from this.... You will do it, you promise yourself, just after things slow down and you get all of your deadlines met...
At the end of the process, a working computer - but will a new one be ordered as a backup before this whole process has been pushed to the side in order to meet deadlines?

LOOKING BACK
A GLIMPSE OF PAST AIA+WHV AWARD WINNERS
2006 CITATION AWARD PROJECT: THE RISING: WESTCHESTER COUNTY SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL ARCHITECT: FREDERIC SCHWARTZ ARCHITECTS
2006 CITATION AWARD PROJECT: THE RISING: WESTCHESTER COUNTY SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL ARCHITECT: FREDERIC SCHWARTZ ARCHITECTS This soaring memorial is an inspirational sculpture located at the center of an existing plaza, with the massive Kensico Dam and surrounding landscape as its backdrop. 109 intertwining stainless steel strands rise 80 feet, reaching upward to the heavens to represent the 109 Westchester residents who were killed on September 11, 2001. (That number is now 111.) The strands emerge from a 60-foot diameter circle of granite stones, each engraved with the name, date of birth and an inscription provided by each family. The stainless-steel strands are bound together, exemplifying the strength of the Westchester community and the families who lost loved ones. The reflective quality of the stainless will change with the light of day, lending a dynamic quality to the structure. The Rising invites families and visitors to look back in memory of their loved ones and look forward as a community, and provides a quiet place for reflection. As the people of Westchester populate the interior and its surroundings, they become part of the memorial. The design process was an exacting and intense collaborative effort of architects, engineers, metallurgists, computer technicians, welders, fabricators, government and family members, all working to the common goal of honoring their neighbors and loved ones. The Rising was unanimously selected by the Westchester Family Victims and Survivors group as winner of an international design competition. The memorial was dedicated on September 11th, 2006, attended by over 1,000 friends and family members.
2014 HIGH HONOR AWARD PROJECT: DCSPCA ADOPTION & EDUCATION CENTER LOCATION: HYDE PARK, NY ARCHITECT: ROLANDO KRAEHER
The DCSPCA was established to rescue, shelter and secure permanent homes for animals in the community. The architect was approached by the institution to 1) revamp their image in the community, 2) create a welcoming, safe, open and stress-free environment, 3) increase animal holding capacity, and 4) incorporate opportunities for sustainable design technologies. The approach was to separate functions related to animal rescue from adoption. The existing building to the north provides intake, grooming and veterinary services. The new building to the south provides animal adoption and education facilities. The Phase 1A project houses all adoptable cats and accommodates 20 dogs. The plan is organized with a clear separation between cat and dog holding areas with independent mechanical systems designed to hospital grade quality to prevent odor transfer and cross contamination. Interior glass partitions and glass exterior walls allow natural light to filter into the space. The glass partitions in the dog habitat area contain translucent glass at the bottom to allow for natural light yet prevent animals from seeing each other thereby reducing stress. The expansive square footage was divided into separate interlocking forms to reduce its size to a humanistic scale. All materials and colors were selected to provide a sense of calm, rest and resilient space. The jury acknowledged the SPCA project as a real gem, elevating a typically utilitarian building type into a true piece of architecture.
2009 HIGH HONOR AWARD PROJECT: MEDIA ARTS LAB LOCATION: PLEASANTVILLE, NY ARCHITECT: KAEYER GARMENT & DAVIDSON ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS PC PHOTOGRAPHY: DAVID LAMB PHOTOGRAPHY
The Media Arts Lab at the Jacob Burns Film Center is a new 27,000 sf education center offering instructional programs in many forms of filmmaking and multi- media appreciation designed and constructed to be a “center for celebrating the stories that live in each and every person”. This new center was designed to support the Film Center’s educational programming and to be flexible, so that as technology and programming continue to evolve, the building can evolve with them. The jury praised this LEED Gold project’s blend of content, form and materials. They further noted that a transparency is achieved that successfully adds to a lively and compelling interior environment.
