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.
The AIA has selected the 2010 recipients of the Institute Honor Awards, the profession’s highest recognition of works that exemplify excellence in architecture, interior architecture and urban design. TKTS Booth and the Revitalization of Duffy Square received the Institute Honor Award for Architecture with the jury comment, “With its elegant conception and realization, its refined design stands up to the cacophony of Times Square; this is as much a 21st Century art piece as a building.”
We are pleased to see that dezeen has posted a review of Duffy Square and the TKTS Booth Renovation. It is inspiring to see the broad based support and recognition that the new Father Duffy Square has generated and we look to build on this work.
We are so pleased to see that the red steps of Father Duffy Square in Times Square can be found in the newest music video by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
It is fast becoming one of New York City’s Icons. [...] See the video…
