We just received this image from David Sundberg.
He was walking, camera in hand, along the East River on the morning of October 29. The City is largely shut down, due to Hurricane Sandy.
This is one of the few instances where overcast skies help to tell the story.
Ulrich Franzen, the Modernist architect, died in Santa Fe, New Mexico on October 6. Born in Germany and educated at Williams College and at Harvard, he worked for IM Pei early in his career and started his own office in 1955.
One of the most well-known Franzen projects is the house he built for his family in Rye, NY in 1956. The image of the house above was made by his friend and neighbor, Ezra Stoller.
In New York, Rick Franzen is remembered as the architect of the Philip Morris building on Park Avenue at 42 Street in New York and for the the plaza leading to the subway station and the bridges over Lexington Avenue at Hunter College in New York.
Franzen’s Alley Theatre in Houston, shown below, was photographed by Stoller in 1968.
The THINK! project, a cornerstone of IBM’s centennial year celebration that was designed by Ralph Appelbaum Associates, is profiled in a recent AIGA Case Study.
“THINK: An Exploration into Making the World Work Better” was an exhibition experience that pushed the boundaries of technology as we know it. The goal of the project was to bring to life the ways in which people are making the world work better through innovation, and to engage people in some of the ideas around IBM’s Smarter Planet agenda. It was free to the public, drawing more than 25,000 diverse visitors—from heads of state to school kids—in its month-long run at New York City’s Lincoln Center. The broad goal was to engage new audiences across generations in a meaningful conversation about progress.
The AIGA Case Study, a selection from the 2012 “Justified” competition, describes the project in greater detail and includes more of Albert Vecerka’s photographs.
