The AIA has announced the 2013 AIA New York Award Winners.

The Bing Concert Hall at Stanford University, designed by Ennead, has won an Architecture Merit Award.

Jeff Goldberg photographed the project for the architects.  There are more details about the project in an earlier EstoNews post, and a complete gallery of images can be seen at EstoStock.

Peter Mauss took this image while on a job, close to home.  Where is he?

Peter took this image of the Public Theater, from under the canopy.

He was photographing the signage, designed by Paula Scher of Pentagram.  The renovations of the theater were done by Ennead.

David Sundberg photographed the new Barclays Center, a sports and entertainment arena designed by SHoP Architects.

Located at one of the most transit-accessible sites in the city, it is home to the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, along with being a venue for concerts, conventions and other world-class events.

Jay-Z, a part-owner of the Nets, will open the complex by performing a series of concerts beginning on September 28.

More of David’s photographs are in an online Barclays Center web gallery.  As new images are finalized, they will be added to the gallery and placed on EstoStock as well.

Francis Dzikowski’s photographs of LCT3 by H3 Hardy Collaboration Archtiecture are on the radio – at NPR.com.  The images support the web version of Jeff Lunden’s piece titled In New York, Two Big Arts Institutions Go Small.   You can listen to the story at All Things Considered.

The LCT3 Theater, looking to expand to a younger demographic, hired Hugh Hardy to design a new theater.  The 112-seat Claire Tow Theater is housed in a two-story structure built on a steel truss that straddles the roof of the Vivian Beaumont Theater designed by Eero Sarinen. The interior is warm and inviting — reddish orange seats, surrounded by walnut paneling. But perhaps more striking is the view outside the auditorium — a spectacular vista of Lincoln Center and the surrounding neighborhood.  The design also maintains the integrity of the original structure, effectively hiding on the roof, when in the outdoor plaza.

There is an earlier EstoNews post about a Vanity Fair article on the theater.

And, the story is listed at ArchNewsNow.  Have a listen!

 

David Sundberg’s photographs of the Signature Theatre in New York are featured in a 14-page story in the August edition of Casabella.

Designed by Frank Gehry, the complex houses new theatres, rehearsal studios, offices, a café and bookstore. In all three theatres, plywood is used to create distinctive walls with a craftsman finish. In its new home, the company continues it’s world-renowned, award-winning programs and productions.  And best of all, tickets are $25 each.

More of David’s photographs of the Theatre can be seen at EstoStock and his full portfolio at EstoPortfolios.

We recently got this note from Francis Dzikowski:

“Dana Meilijson, a photographer who often works with me, took this photograph while on the roof of Julliard photographing H3′s new LCT3 Theater.”

A review by Paul Goldberger of the H3/Hardy Collaboration Architecture’s Claire Tow Theater appeared in Vanity Fair. Read an earlier EstoNews post about the project here.

And, you can see Francis’ most recent portfolio here.

Paul Goldberger praises the new The Claire Tow Theater at Lincoln Center  by H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture in a recent Vanity Fair article.

The new theater is an addition that sits atop the original Eero Saarinen building:

the only place that really made sense for it was on the roof of the existing building, set back so that it doesn’t disturb Saarinen’s enormous floating bar of travertine. You can see the addition if you enter the plaza from the east, but it disappears as you approach the Vivian Beaumont; the façade is still intact. And when you can see Hardy’s addition, it is a pleasing and deferential counterpoint to the original building: a smaller box on top of Saarinen’s bigger box.

Francis Dzikowski photographed the new project for the architects, more of these images are at EstoStock. In 1965, Ezra Stoller photographed the original project , those images can be seen at EstoStock as well.

And range of Francis’ recent work can be seen in his online portfolio.

 

Jeff Goldberg’s photographs of Ennead’s  Carnegie Hall renovation are featured in a recent TimeOutNY post.  The renovation was completed in 2003.

The TimeOut listing includes upcoming events and information for visiting Carnegie Hall.

Francis Dzikowski’s photographs of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s by H3/Hardy Collaboration Architecture appear in ArchDaily.

In the post, writes that:

H3 has transformed the lower half of a building designed for Off Broadway theaters into the permanent home for the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, the country’s premier chamber orchestra.

The DiMenna Center is the city’s first subsidized rental rehearsal and recording center for the classical music community. The program includes nine rehearsal rooms of various sizes, a music library, listening rooms, offices on a high floor with lots of light, lobby and lounge areas.

The new spaces, acoustically designed in varying sizes and shapes, eliminate outside noise within the multi-story building.  The project is anticipating a LEED-Cl Platinum rating.

For more on the project see the H3/Hardy Collaboration Architecture website, or read the full article on ArchDaily.  The project is also on ArchBricks.com.

EstoStock has the complete catalog of images for the project.

More of Francis’ work can be seen in his most recent portfolio.

 

Albert Vecerka’s images of the Rockwell Group’s Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center at Lincoln Center are featured in the September issue of Architectural Record,  “Record Interiors 2011″.

The theater is largely framed by the surrounding Lincoln Center buildings.

Albert’s images show the street facade at 66th Street, the lobby and restaurants as well as the three  theaters.
