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!
Every February, the AIA leadership from across the country (plus some international representatives) convenes in Washington, DC to discuss Institute strategic plans and trek to Capitol Hill for meetings with elected representatives. This year, in addition, I met with the new GSA director of the Design Excellence program, Casey Jones, and enjoyed the opening of the CONTEXT/CONTRAST exhibition at the AIA national headquarters.
