SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: Material Transfers - Metaphor\, Craft\, and Place in Contemporary Architecture
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE\nMaterial Transfers – Metaphor\, Craft\, and Place in Contemporary Architecture\nWith Françoise Astorg Bollack- Architect\, Architectural Historian\, and Preservationist \nIn a lecture\, based on her book\, Material Transfers: Metaphor\, Craft\, and Place in Contemporary Architecture\, architect\, architectural historian\, and preservationist Françoise Astorg Bollack presents projects that use traditional materials to build contemporary forms or use modern materials to build traditional forms\, blurring the boundary between tradition and modernity in architecture. Ms. Bollack rejects the modernist taboo against imitation and precedent\, tracing the history of adaptive and imitative design from the Renaissance to the Greek and Gothic Revivals and to the 19th century modular cast-iron facades that Philip Johnson considered “the basis for modern design.” \nFrançoise Bollack will discuss some of 18 contemporary projects in the US\, Europe\, and Japan\, featured in the book\, encompassing a broad range of building types: residential\, hospitality\, commercial and retail\, and cultural spaces. All share an intriguing\, even radical\, approach to reinterpreting traditional forms and materials. Humble thatch moves beyond the farmhouse roof to clad the walls of a Danish environmental center; a photographic image of a Parisian facade becomes a scrim on the facade of a new building\, and the ghost of an ancient Italian basilica is outlined in wire mesh.

SUMMARY:Preserving New York City's Significant Places of Black History
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn commemoration of its 56th Anniversary\, The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC)\, in collaboration with The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, and the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation  \ncordially invites you to: \nPreserving New York City’s Significant Places of Black History \n \nFor five decades the LPC has been recognizing\, supporting\, and celebrating places of African American cultural and historic significance through designation. Join us as LPC’s Director of Research\, Kate Lemos McHale\, discusses landmarks and historic districts that illustrate the experiences of African Americans throughout New York City history. \nThe African American experience has been central to New York City since its earliest colonial settlement\, and the lives\, history\, and culture of its Black residents and leaders are recognized in landmarks and historic districts throughout the City. These include places designated in recognition of their associations with New York City’s Black history from before the Civil War through the Civil Rights Movement\, designated properties where more recent scholarship post-designation has revealed important connections\, and historic districts located within historically African American neighborhoods. \nWhile many landmark designations acknowledge the history of segregation and discrimination; they also reflect the achievements and resilience of people\, groups\, and organizations who faced serious challenges\, created opportunities and made significant achievements in social\, economic\, political\, and cultural arenas of New York City and American life. \nFor more information contact Arianna Cooper at aricooper@lpc.nyc.gov or Victoria Pennacchio at (646) 248-8760. \n

SUMMARY:MultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers &  the Business Tycoons Who Built Them
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to: \nMultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers & the Business Tycoons Who Built Them\nWith author Mark Houser \nPeg Breen\, President\, The New York Landmarks Conservancy will provide introductory remarks. \nNew York and Chicago are the birthplaces of skyscrapers\, but tall office towers radically transformed every city in America. For his new book\, MultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers & the Business Tycoons Who Built Them\, Mark Houser traveled widely to find the best landmark high-rises in 36 cities in the United States and abroad. In this talk\, the award-winning writer and speaker will discuss his extensive research with observations gleaned from touring these spectacular old high-rises\, with a focus on New York. His presentation will include Beaux-Arts facades\, dazzling lobbies\, rooftop decks\, and behind-the-scenes surprises in antique skyscrapers from Manhattan to Miami\, Cincinnati to San Francisco\, and unexpected details about the Gilded Age millionaires who commissioned the world’s first skyscrapers. These soaring structures — “machines that make the land pay\,” as Woolworth Building architect Cass Gilbert described them — proclaimed their owners’ influence and remain as legacies of a fascinating\, forgotten past. \nMark Houser is an award-winning journalist and frequent public speaker who has appeared on CNN\, FOX\, and NPR\, and given a TEDx Talk. Hundreds of people have taken his “Antique Skyscraper Rooftops” guided tour in Pittsburgh. For more information on Mr. Houser\, and to purchase the book\, please visit www.housertalks.com. \n“Buildings tell stories\, and Mark Houser has captured them in a fascinating look at historic skyscrapers from an era of growth and optimism.” — Peg Breen\, New York Landmarks Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: The Appearance Of The Past
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE\nThe Appearance Of The Past  \nWith Donald Friedman\, Principal\, Old Structures Engineering \n\npictured: Fulton Market\, 1870 \nLandmarks are survivors and give us only a partial view of the past. Designated buildings are luckier than average and often better-looking than average.  What did New York actually look like in 1900? You need to look beyond the remnants to get a sense of what the experience of the built environment used to be. In his lecture\, Donald Friedman\, Principal\, Old Structures Engineering will examine The Appearance Of The Past. \nIn 1900 more than half of the population of Manhattan lived in tenements\, there were no playgrounds\, large areas of the city had no parks of any kind\, and there was one bridge (and no tunnels) crossing the East River. Buildings tended to be clustered by type\, so there were skyscraper districts downtown and near Madison Square\, while large portions of the Upper West Side consisted almost entirely of rowhouses and large portions of the Upper East Side consisted almost entirely of tenements and small factories. Streets were a crowded combination of horse-drawn vehicles\, streetcars\, and pedestrians; the use of coal for heat created black smog. In short\, the city 120 years ago was smaller-scale than it is now\, but in some ways a more intense urban experience\, as Mr. Friedman will describe in his talk. \nDonald Friedman is President of Old Structures Engineering\, PC\, a structural engineering consulting firm for historic and old buildings. He has over 25 years experience in the investigation\, analysis\, and restoration of landmark buildings. Representative projects include: structural design of repairs to the crypts at the New York Marble Cemetery; investigation and alteration feasibility study of Castle Clinton; investigation of damage and repairs to Belvedere Castle; facade analysis and design of new terra cotta supports for the 1906 Langham Apartments; and frame analysis and alterations to the 1896 Gerken building. \nMr. Friedman holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an M.A. in Historical Studies from the New School. In addition to Mr. Friedman’s project work\, he has taught extensively and is the author of numerous books including The Structure of Skyscrapers in America.

SUMMARY:Down the Bridle Path: Exploring the Vestiges of Greenwich Village's Equine Past
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nDown the Bridle Path: Exploring the Vestiges of Greenwich Village’s Equine Past \nGregory Dietrich\, Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting \nFor centuries New Yorkers relied on horses to transport them uptown\, downtown\, crosstown\, and beyond\, often retracing the paths created by the Native Americans on horseback who came before them. However\, nearly all of the City’s equine culture has been forgotten\, supplanted by a cacophony of cars\, trucks\, motorcycles\, and bicycles. And yet this history is not only present\, but especially palpable in Greenwich Village\, which still offers vestiges of the City’s equine past through its former horse walks\, stables\, and mews. \nJoin architectural historian\, Gregory Dietrich\, as he takes you down the bridle path of this all but forgotten\, yet tangible\, legacy of Village horse culture. \nIn addition to his consulting work\, he served as an adjunct professor at FIT between 2008 and 2018 and currently teaches a seminar within the Urban Design and Architecture Studies Program at NYU. In addition to teaching\, Mr. Dietrich is regularly engaged as a guest speaker\, tour guide\, moderator\, and panelist on a wide variety of preservation topics. For more information\, please visit Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting. \n \nPictured: “Streetcar in the Snow”\, Harper’s Weekly\, February 24th 1872

SUMMARY:Restoration of the Battery Maritime Building
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially presents: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nSaving the Battery Maritime Building \nPresented by: Tim Fryatt\, Director\, Marvel Architects \nThe 1909 Battery Maritime Building (“BMB”) was once the crown jewel of the New York City waterfront\, but over time became vacant\, neglected\, and falling into the East River. The effort to save the BMB is 18 years in the making\, and nearing completion. In this lecture\, Tim Fryatt\, Director of Marvel Architects will discuss the project and during his presentation will offer a visual tour of the building through time\, highlighting challenges in adaptive reuse along the way. \nWorking with NYC Economic Development Corporation and the developer Midtown Equities\, Marvel Architects identified unique needs to satisfy modern safety standards and new building uses to ensure the building’s historic legacy is preserved. Through a careful process\, the team has crafted an elegantly modern and historically sensitive redevelopment\, a cornerstone to the city’s broad-based goals of transforming Lower Manhattan into a vibrant mixed-use community and revitalizing the waterfront for the 21st century. \nTim Fryatt\, AIA is Director at Marvel Architects with 22 years of experience leading complex projects across a wide range of scales and sectors. Known as a prolific designer and a creative catalyst\, Tim is dedicated to developing meaningful places that leverage latent value\, behave naturally\, and inspire delight. Presently Tim is the lead Architect overseeing over 1 million square feet of development across three boroughs of New York City. A registered architect and a member of the Maplewood NJ Township Planning Board\, Tim’s work has been widely awarded\, published\, and exhibited\, including in the New York Times and Museum of Modern Art.

SUMMARY:Bricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invites you to watch \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nBricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House\npresented by: Patrick W. Ciccone\, Preservationist & Co-Author \nPatrick W. Ciccone\, a New York City-based preservationist\, will discuss the book he co-authored with the late Charles Lockwood\, Bricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House. This illustrated lecture will feature some of the more than 250 color and black-and-white images included in this newly revised edition. The book is considered to be the gold standard reference on brownstone architecture and interiors\, and one of the few truly classic histories of New York’s urbanism. \nBricks & Brownstone\, initially published in 1972\, was the first and still the only volume to examine in depth the changing form and varied architectural styles of the much-loved New York City row house\, or brownstone. That edition helped pave the way for a brownstone revival that has transformed New York’s historic neighborhoods over the past half-century. \nIn this updated 2019 version\, this definitive volume traces New York’s row houses from colonial days through World War I\, examining in detail the Federal\, Greek Revival\, Gothic Revival\, Italianate\, and Second Empire architectural styles of the early and mid-nineteenth century\, as well as the Neo-Grec\, Queen Anne\, Romanesque\, Renaissance Revival\, and Colonial Revival styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. \n“A bible for buffs\, architects\, and preservationists” – Judith Thurman\, The New Yorker

DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially presents: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nHenry Street Settlement – Story of a Loving Restoration\nPresented by: Rachel Miller and Timothy Miller\, Co-Owners\, Spirit Ironworks \nRachel Miller and Timothy Miller will discuss the ironwork restoration of one of New York City’s most beloved\, and historically significant social service agencies\, the Henry Street Settlement. This talk will explore the processes involved in restoring historic ironwork on three Federal-style buildings. The project was a rare opportunity to explore how pre-Civil War ironwork was constructed. They will also describe how the restoration process incorporated many traditional metalworking techniques such as forging genuine wrought iron\, tool and die making\, and replicating cast iron elements. \nThe Landmarks Conservancy assisted in the ironwork restoration with a grant from its City Ventures Fund program which works with nonprofit organizations housed in architecturally significant buildings that are being converted to affordable housing of other uses that benefit lower-income communities. \nThe Millers will also touch on some of the other partners that made the project possible including Henry Street Settlement\, LI Saltzman Architects\, and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. \nSpirit Ironworks\, Inc. was started as a partnership between siblings Timothy and Rachel Miller. The company has over 25 years of experience in the craft of hand-forged metalwork. Including interior & exterior railings; gates\, fencing\, furniture\, and hardware for high-end residences. Their unique skill set enables them to create in-house hand-forged scroll-work\, repoussé\, and other decorative elements for historical restoration\, art metal fabrication\, and architectural metalwork. \nFor more information please visit www.spiritironworks.com \nVIEW LANDMARK LECTURE EVENT BELOW

SUMMARY:Finding Their Architectural Roots
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially presents: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nFinding Their Architectural Roots: Cracking the Mystery of One of Brooklyn’s Most Prolific \nand Distinguished Architectural Firms – Parfitt Brothers \nPresented by: Gregory Dietrich\, Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting \nOver the past several decades\, the name “Parfitt Brothers” has become synonymous with some of Brooklyn’s most distinctive buildings from Bensonhurst to Brooklyn Heights. Originally established by English brothers\, Walter and Henry\, in 1875\, and later expanded to include brother\, Albert\, the Parfitt Bros. evolved into one of the borough’s leading architecture firms of its day during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, designing a range of institutional\, residential\, and commercial buildings in a wide variety of styles. While much is known about their work in Brooklyn\, little is known about their background in England and their architectural training. Seeking to unlock the mystery of their past\, architectural historian Gregory Dietrich will talk about his quest to uncover the brothers’ origins\, from their humble beginnings in Frome\, England\, to their early years in Brooklyn and the subsequent opening of the practice that led to their renown. \nGregory Dietrich is a graduate of Columbia University’s Historic Preservation and Real Estate Development programs\, He has been working in the field of Historic Preservation for over twenty years. Since 2009 he has been the sole proprietor of Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting\, where he has completed historic architectural investigations\, National Register Nominations\, historic tax credit\, and grant applications\, preservation planning and policy studies\, and cultural resource studies. In addition to his consulting work\, he served as an adjunct professor at FIT between 2008 and 2018\, and currently teaches a seminar within the Urban Design and Architecture Studies Program at NYU. In addition to teaching\, Gregory is regularly engaged as a guest speaker\, tour guide\, moderator\, and panelist on a wide variety of preservation topics. \nwww.gdpreservationconsulting.com \nVIEW EVENT LECTURE BELOW

SUMMARY:Professional Circle Tour: Trinity Church Wall Street
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe New York Landmarks Conservancy is very pleased to offer its Professional Circle members an exclusive tour of Trinity Church Wall Street led by Jeff Murphy\, FAIA and members of the design team. Trinity Church Wall Street is in the final stages of an almost two-year rejuvenation project to enhance the overall worship experience\, make spaces accessible and welcoming\, upgrade technology and infrastructure\, and address deferred maintenance. \nTrinity Church Wall Street has been an integral part of New York City for more than 300 years. In 1696\, a small group of Anglicans petitioned the Royal Governor for a charter granting the church legal status. The charter was granted in 1697 and the first Trinity Church was erected at the head of Wall Street facing the Hudson River. \nThe third and current Trinity Church began construction in 1839 and was finished in 1846. Designed by Richard Upjohn\, it is considered one of the first and finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United States. With a 281-foot high steeple\, Trinity was the tallest building in New York City until 1890. \nSpace is limited\, so please register early. We will maintain a waiting list of everyone else interested in participating and accommodate you as reservations change. \nContact Alissa Catalano at alissacatalano@nylandmarks.org or 212-995-5260\, with any questions.
