But Snøhetta went much deeper than merely mastering engineering pirouettes. The design (selection of the material, it's shape and colour) is full of references to past and contemporary culture connected to the Bowtie. The dark pavement complements the artificial light from above, giving it contrast like as found in black and white noir films. The benches were inspired by old cars from those noir times and from times of the establishment of Broadway's theatre culture. Furthermore the coin-sized metal discs inserted in the pavement reflect the light from above and emphasize a kind of a 'metropolis' or 'Blade Runner' like experience. Snøhetta's homage to artificial light also comes from the fact that the street was the first in US lit with electric lights. The lack of presence and recognition of this project in professional media and over-promoted doubling of the amount of pedestrian space are in my personal opinion problematic. It's about heritage, culture, artistry, experience and yes, also the quality and quantity of pedestrian space.]]> https://landezine.com/times-square-redesign-by-snohetta-opens-today/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/a-social-setting-northern-plaza-monash-university-clayton-by-t-c-l/ https://landezine.com/a-social-setting-northern-plaza-monash-university-clayton-by-t-c-l/#comments Mon, 03 Apr 2017 07:57:55 +0000 http://www.landezine.com/?p=36557 T.C.L. – Taylor Cullity Lethlean: Contemporary universities are becoming microcosms of our cities.

The heaviness of the past is contrasted by the lightness of the absolutely marvellous grading of the square. There are traces and signs of those memories still that suggest respect and soberness, but nothing is heavy about this design. So maybe the new 'feel of the place' suggests that confronting the past is perhaps behind? It optimistically allows for new uses in the times to come. Another thing worth mentioning is if you read the design statement, the museum was supposed to look more like a house and less like a landscape at first. The architects proposed a square also to give some space to the new Philharmonic (by another architect) across the street which is an act of super-consciousness in the world of architecture and I'm not sure how many architects are capable of that.

The latter comes from the fact that there was a development that slid down the bluff in 1930' and some remains are still visible today. It's interesting that the remains inspired the forms of this project and not the previous state of the architecture before the accident. So there is a great deal of abstraction rather than some naive memorabilia, which is sadly often the case. A Google Maps visit will show that the initial planting scheme did not survive.
