I heard about this on WCBS a couple weeks ago . . . sounds exciting! New York definitely needs to get more acquainted with the tech industry.

Will Cornell stand by SOM to build NYC Tech Campus? December 27, 2011 Julie V. Iovine Quote:

It would be a shame if the SOM design gets shelved. This is an exciting project though, just wish it could be built sooner.

I was so happy when I heard that Cornell had beat out Stanford. IMO, it makes more sense to see a New York (state) institution win the right to build in New York City (where Cornell anyway already operates its medical college). What I found especially interesting (and relevant to this forum) was that Stanford's suburban nature played a large role in its failure to convince the city of its ability to undertake such a large urban project; almost all of its enormous land holdings are located in unincorporated areas (where it's the only game in town) and it simply wasn't prepared for the obstacles of urban development.

There's been a bit of criticism to this plan on the blogosphere...
|
It's a shame that between the iconic Art-Deco Queensboro, and Kahn's FDR memorial there's going to be such a heaping, jagged mess of corporate mediocrity.
|
The Brooklyn science center comes closer to reality...

Interesting how Downtown Brooklyn, in particular Jay Street is becoming a tech school mecca with Polytechnic Institute and CUNY City Tech already based there with potentially more campuses on the way.

Roosevelt Renderers! Top Architects Tapped to Design Cornell Tech Campus By Matt Chaban Feb 28, 2012 Quote:

Am I crazy or is this HUGE news? I always assumed that the uninspired SOM design was a final proposal. To hear that the vision is yet to be decided, and that the finalists are of such high quality is exhilirating. I honestly don't know whom to root for, as I love so many of them. SOM has produced some fantastic designs for this city recently but they're all over so forget them. Skiller et al are local heroes and have yet to have a mistep. Their innovative designs make me feel they're destined for a Pritzker as soon as a few more major comissions come in. And I can't wait to see what Koolhaas comes up with. His proposed addition to the uptown Whitney was one of the most heartbreaking missed oppurtunities in recent history. And I expect something great from Morphosis, who gave us one of the most gorgeous buildings I have ever seen as part of the Cooper Union. Though I think my personal favorite is Stephen Holl. Another local hero whom I consider that best living American architect and shamefully underrepresented in his hometown. And the fact that he has yet to be given his Pritzker is pretty ridiculous, but thats another discussion.... Anyhow, exciting stuff. I certainly I hope all renderings are made puclic. |
