All vs. Tall: Manhattan, 1874-1900
March 9, 2017 |
After a brief talk by Carol Willis that illustrates some of the buildings and themes that have formed the standard histories of the high-rise and the different approach of the TEN & TALLER survey, a group of the symposium’s invited speakers will engage in a conversation about their research and new ways of viewing the architectural and urban history of New York in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Donald Friedman, Lee Gray, Kathryn Holliday, Andrew Alpern, and Thomas Mellins will consider some of the major changes in the design and construction of tall buildings, the impact of new technologies such as electricity and telephones, and the rise of multi-family dwellings and hotels. The discussion will identify issues to be explored in the Friday sessions.
