During summer and fall 2014, an international collaboration research and design project was set up in New York, called Common Streetscapes, The Low Countries and New York, consisting out of a series of workshops, seminars, round table discussions and site visits with students, professionals and academics of Flanders, The Netherlands and New York. During these activites, different expertises and approaches related to the reading and design of collective spaces were put together and tested by focusing on Coney Island, Brooklyn New York.During summer 2014, following previous research projects and workshops in Williamsburg and Gowanus in New York, an international 10day hands-on transdisciplinary workshop was organised about Coney Island, working with local communities of Kaiser Park, a public park situated at the interior side of Coney Island. Local students and teachers of Pratt Institute New York and Partnerships for Parks, a joint program of Parks & Recreation New York, together with some local stakeholders joined the project besides the delegations of KU Leuven (Faculty of Architecture, campus Sint-Lucas Ghent and Brussels) and TU Delft. Around twenty participants from different European countries discussed and proposed ideas of how to deal with its future streetscapes and waterscapes in this part of the metropolis of New York. The workshop was supported by the Flemish and Dutch Government representatives in New York.Later, in fall 2014, a research and design seminar was organised to follow up the initial outcomes of the workshop and discuss, this time with panels of invited experts from U.S., the main topics that define the reality and future of Coney Island. At the same time, this seminar was the starting point for a master dissertation design studio, conducted at KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture, International Master of Architecture and a design studio at TU Delft that was finalised at the end of spring 2015.

this is the third in the series of Streetscape Territories Notebooks that describes concepts and cases of design and analysis in architecture and urban design, focusing on the way different collective spaces, fueled by different activities, are defining contemporary streetscapes. This publication will focus specifically on the challenges and potentials of streetscapes of manufacturing and their economic, social or cultural meaning. Streetscape Territories is an international research project that deals with territorial organization of urban projects, explored in different contexts, studied as part of different cultures and defined by different social networks. Streetscape Territories deals with models of proximity within a street, neighborhood or region and starts from the assumption that urban space, from the domestic scale till the scale of the city, can be understood as a discontinuous collective space, containing different levels of collective use that are defined by multiple physical, cultural or territorial boundaries. This notebook illustrates more than one academic adventure: the first part describes an ongoing design and research project about the Gowanus area in Brooklyn, New York: besides a reading of the context, some proposals are presented to consolidate a socially and economically productive neighborhood for the next decades. The second part samples four master dissertation projects in architecture and urban design and planning, using the Streetscape Territories project as a conceptual and critical framework. The last part illustrates a student project of the international master of architecture program, dealing with depth configurations at the scale of a neighborhood in Ghent.The previously mentioned academic projects focused on models of proximity in the Gowanus Canal and Harbor area: how are the surrounding streetscapes related to the canal? Which are the “sets of relative distances” (De Solà-Morales, 1997) between different buildings, between buil

Streetscapes are part of the taken-for-granted spaces of everyday urban life, yet they are also contested arenas in which struggles over identity, memory, and place shape the social production of urban space. This book examines the role that street naming has played in the political life of urban streetscapes in both historical and contemporary cities. The renaming of streets and remaking of urban commemorative landscapes have long been key strategies that different political regimes have employed to legitimize spatial assertions of sovereign authority, ideological hegemony, and symbolic power. Over the past few decades, a rich body of critical scholarship has explored the politics of urban toponymy, and the present collection brings together the works of geographers, anthropologists, historians, linguists, planners, and political scientists to examine the power of street naming as an urban place-making practice. Covering a wide range of case studies from cities in Europe, North America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia, the contributions to this volume illustrate how the naming of streets has been instrumental to the reshaping of urban spatial imaginaries and the cultural politics of place.

Streets present their profiles during the day and their secrets at nights. Mysteries sketched in daylight are sometimes resolved after dark and, at times, in the wee small hours of the morning. Some events or encounters can be as dramatic and spellbinding as scenes from action movies. At a certain point, one might actually walk directly into a scene being produced for a TV series—for real. The muffled bang that vibrates a mild fall morning turns out to be an exploding grenade aimed at the United Nations Assembly Building hours before Che Guevara is to address the general assembly. Welcome to the streets of New York. Quiet scenes might include a man dying next to you at Christmas time on a subway train. Or you might come face-to-face with Frank Sinatra very, very late on a winter's night—“Out for a stroll,” as he puts it.

The Dakota. The Apthorp. The San Remo. The names of these legendary New York apartment buildings evoke images of marble-lined lobbies, uniformed doormen, and sunlit penthouses with sweeping Central Park views. Built from the 1880s through 1930s, classic prewar apartments were designed to lure townhouse dwellers reluctant to share a roof with other families. Billed as private mansions in the sky, they promised a charmed Manhattan lifestyle of elegance and luxury. Manhattan Classic takes readers on a lavishly illustrated guided tour of eighty-five of the most coveted buildings in New York. Author Geoffrey Lynch provides capsule histories—equal parts architectural and social history— of the most celebrated examples, with anecdotes about well-known residents and essential information about notable features. This gorgeous coffee table book is an indispensible resource for apartment hunters, real estate and design professionals, and anyone fascinated by the grace and glamour of prewar style.
