Times Gives Ramaz' Design an 'A' by Ari Bergwerk All across the nation, and even overseas, readers of The New York Times were Informed about what Is going on In Ramaz. Paul Goldberger, the architecture critic for the Times. recently wrote an article" which described the Interior as well as 1he exterior of the new building. The style of the building was the attracting force which caught Mr. Goldberger's eye when he first passed by. Mr. Goldberger said that he "was fascinated by the building's facade, with Its long, vertical windows, Just as any New Yorker would be." The facade, Mr. Goldberger believes, tells twO different stories. One Is the story of the street� of New York and the scale of the old brownstones , which are represented by the vertical divisions In the facade. The other story, he continued, Is of the history of the Jewish peer pie, which Is told by the win dows In the form of the Ten
Commandments and in the shape of book:,. It was the Interior of the build• mg, however, which most ex• cited Mr. Goldgergcr. He claims that Ramaz "may have the best Interior of any new prlvale school in New York." This assessment Is not only based on Mr. Goldberger's experience as an architecture crlllc but as a parent as well. Since Mr Gold• berger has been busy compar ing various schools for his young son, ho has soon lho ln t er Io rs of many school bulldings, and In his opinion, Ramaz' design may bo the bost he has seen. The student lounges or plazas won the reporter's praise for their ablllly to give the students "breathing space," an asset that Is very Important for a school In a crowded, urban environment. The color scheme, which he said Is unusual, prer vldes a sense of restfulness about the building. The Sell Mldrash. he noted, Is "absolute-
ly beautiful," and Is "a very special place." "The design was not merely an abslract design," Mr. Gold berger claimed, "but it seemed very deflnltely to reflect student needs." Some students Mr. Goldberger spoke to, however, cited the need for larger facllltles. Although Mt. Goldberger Is Jewish, he feels that any archl· lecture crltl<>- could have the same view of the Aamaz building that he has. "Good architecture transcends the llmlts of religion," according to Mr. Goldberger. In fact, slnco tho architect of the building was not Jewish, It is clear that the structure can be appreciated by people who do not understand the Jewish values Incorporated Into It. A w a r d s a r e g i v e n for bulldlngs llke lhat of Ramaz, and Mr. Goldberger stated that Aamaz could very well be a strong candidate for such an honor.
