Still Life: Dutch Remastered

This is a repost which was originally released on November, 17  2010.

It all started with a Dutch ship and an English captain.  401 years ago, Henry Hudson sailed up the river that now bears his name and became one of the first Europeans to impact what would eventually become one of the most populous cities in the world.  Since its inception, New York City has embodied numerous characteristics tying it back to the land from which its founders came.

I recently visited the exhibit Design USA: Contemporary Innovation at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.  Although I had been meaning to make it to this exhibit for awhile, I was really trying to find something a little different.  February is National Black History Month, and I was looking for something to participate in that would correlate with this celebration.  My search came up short.

Being a great architect really takes a lot of dedication and time.  It seems throughout history, seldom do architects really come into prominence before they enter their 40’s, if not much later.  Often great designers continue working tirelessly beyond their “golden years” when many others are retiring or at least scaling back.  However, there are some that make an incredible impact on history and style without ever making it to professional maturity.

It’s amazing how things work in this world.  Seldom do drastic changes occur gradually in segments or stages, but rather in explosive events that send shockwaves through the present and waves of change into the future.  For this installment of THINK, we’re looking back, all the way to the year 1919.

Recently, the Trespa Design Centre hosted a presentation by Paul Bates, an educator from the Greenguard Environmental Institute, on the importance of good indoor air quality.  The presentation really got me thinking about some of the places where I’ve lived and worked in the past and how a large component of those experiences was based on environmental conditions.

It’s been awhile, but I’m back to offer the third installment of THINK, the blog for the Trespa Design Centre in New York.  With this entry, I want to expound on a newer building in the meatpacking district, which I recently had the opportunity to tour through the Center for Architecture, the Standard Hotel.  The project has received a variety of diverse reviews since its inception through the present, as it nears completion.
