If you missed last week’s New York Times piece on the next steps for the Tavern on the Green building in Central Park, featuring our design ideas, here are some additional images that you won’t find online. PKSB Architects and Tavern on the Green proposed restoring the famed restaurant to connect it to Central Park. The iconic Crystal Room would be maintained but relocated, and the historic building’s original façade becomes a prominent feature. We are excited to hear that the Department of Parks and Recreation is considering re-opening the proposal process!
Construction forges ahead at the Van Nest School, which will house both a public elementary school and the Carl C. Icahn Charter School 11.
Times Square is going through some changes, not just physical, but psychological changes. These changes are positive and potentially important to the rethinking of Times Square that began several decades ago. The most recent changes are the closing of sections of Broadway in Times Square and the narrowing of Broadway both above and below it. The images posted here are attempts to rethink what Times Square could be. This process encourages your thoughts not only on what you think about the possible but the phenomenal, after all that is at the very nature of Times Square.
