An observation deck will return to the Chrysler Building. During a Landmarks Preservation Commission hearing on Tuesday, Aby Rosens RFR Realty, which bought the Art Deco landmark last year for $151 million, presented its proposal to revamp the skyscrapers 61st and 62nd floors to allow for public access. The Chrysler Building previously housed an observatory, which opened on the 71st floor in 1945 as theCelestial.

After picking up the building in 2019 for a bargain of $151 million (the Abu Dhabi Investment Council paid $800 million for it in 2008), Rosen said his revitalization of the Chrysler Buildingwould include bringing restaurants back to the high-rise, drawing inspiration from the former Cloud Club, the highest such club at the time.

The Cloud Club was a lunch spot for executives when it opened in 1930 on the buildings 66th-68th floors. It operated as a speakeasy during Prohibition and attracted affluent members like Pan Am founder Juan Trippe, publisher Cond Montrose Nast, and boxer Gene Tunney, and Walter Chrysler, who had his own private dining room, as 6sqft previously reported.

Designed by Gensler, the project aims torevive theCloud Club, part of architect William Van Alens original proposal. The restoration focuses on the 61st and 62nd floors, including adding glass panels on the south and north terraces, modifying existing terrace doors to make them accessible to the public, and removing and replacing existing windows with single-lite windows.

Leslie Jabs, principal at Gensler, said that the glass screen and new windows would be barely perceptible from street level. The upgrades on both floors would allow visitors to get an up-close look at the buildings gargoyle eagles.

During Tuesdays hearing, commissioners voiced unanimous support for the appropriateness of the proposal. A few noted the reflectivity of the new windows could pose an issue for the architects, but Jabs said the firm has conducted an extensive study to find types of glass that have extremely low reflectively.

While the Chrysler Building remains a New York icon, the pre-war building comes with some major baggage,which explainswhy RFR was able to buy it at such a discounted price. Real estate experts told the Wall Street Journal last year that the towers nearly 400,000 square feet of vacant space could require a nearly $200 million investment to attract new tenants. And as the Real Deal reported in March, longtime tenants in the buildings arcade space have been booted from the building.

BIG SKY Starting next Tuesday, the Montana Department of Transportation will begin work on three bridges near Big Sky, one Highway 191 and two on Highway 64.

Its a big safety hazard for traffic because as the deck deteriorates, and concrete pops out and creates a pothole, then the rebar gets exposed and loses its capability of what it's supposed to do in the deck, said Craig Walker, Engineering Project Manager with Montana Department of Transportation.

A bridge deck is the multi-layer surface you drive over when crossing a bridge.

So what you see right now are potholes that are in the deck that have been patched. And the concrete delaminates around the patch and just keeps progress through the deck, said Walker.

Little Coyote Road Bridge needs the deck to be totally replaced, so that project will last from May until early November.

The Lone Mountain Trail Bridge will be under repairs between May and July and US 191 Bridge between July and September.

The contractor is an experienced contractor with this type of work. Theyve done it a lot, they continue to do it so as far as the work goes there shouldnt be challenges that way.

When traveling to or from Big Sky, you can expect up to 15 minute delays for each bridge.

Were going to do our best to get everyone through. We have learned our lesson in working in that area before. So were all vigilant of the amount of traffic well be dealing with, said Walker.

Traffic signals will be operating 24/7 to help guide travelers through a single lane.

Just be patient, stay in the traffic line. Youll get through the project. And its for everyones safety, the traveling public, the workers, everybody.

Hello, loyal readers and fans of Wizards of the Coast's iconic trading card gameMagic: The Gathering! Nearly two months ago, we here atBleeding Cool wrote up a Commander deck tech for Nethroi, Apex of Death. Well, now thatIkoria: Lair of Behemoths andCommander 2020 have officially been released worldwide, we decided to take another look at this decklist, as well as document its natural progression to a more finely-tuned deck.

You can find a link to the old Magic: The Gathering deck tech here, while the updated decklist can be found here. The older list had a few bumps in the road which deemed it less reliable than the new one, so looking into the changes will help any discerning player determine how best to play this commander. With that, let's inspect the cuts and new inclusions!

This tech assumes you know about the many cards listed therein. However, if you need to look at the cards on an individual basis, Scryfall is the place to go.

This deck has done very well, only losing a couple of times to a Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt deck with an Infect theme. Yikes! However, it's been able to adapt to fight even that deck off! Let us know what you think of these changes by commenting below. We value any input!

The weather is getting warmer, and youve been dreaming about creating that backyard oasis for some time now. You want to know where to start, who to call, and how to make your vision a reality.

Look no further.

Coastal Custom Builders, Coastal Land Design, and Islands Pool Cape Cod are the three remarkable brain children of landscape architect, Tim Klink, founder and CEO of The Coastal Companies.

Im a landscape architect by schooling. Thats where I started my career 20-plus years ago, said Klink. When I started that, I had all intentions of having a landscape design/build firm. Over the years, weve gotten more involved in actual home construction and, now, with the trend in resort living, people want bigger, better outdoor areas and back yards. And thats where he comes in.

Looking at the demographic of Cape Cod, he said, there was a real need for an in-house firm that can do everything from designing the home to doing landscape, to building the pools. The Coastal Companies three divisions offer everything you need in one place.

Starting back several years ago, we noticed people were traveling less. But those who did were doing a cruise, for example, or going to resorts that were all-encompassing that had an outdoor bar and a pool and a fire pit and thats how families would vacation, Klink said.

What weve seen is that, now, as they choose their summer homes, theyre coming to the Cape more, and they want to re-create that resort feeling. So, were finding that, in lieu of putting on big additions with multiple bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, people are choosing to remove the deck off the back of the house, put some stairs in, built a patio, build a fire pit and then do something with a water feature, be it a pool or something else, and add an outdoor kitchen. They want to really create that resort feeling at their own house.

Klink and his team are seeing the trend in backyard pools rise even more as the sharks have become more prevalent.

Believe it or not, the sharks are having a positive impact on the pool business! Its their home. People feel safe, theyre protected, and they have some space from their neighbors, versus going to hotel. Especially with the unknowns about going to the beaches (thanks to the COVID-10 pandemic), theres even more of a push to do the resort living at home.

Hes also seeing that parents want to be able to control what theyre kids are doing. In lieu of kids going to the beach with their friends, having a pool at home allows your kids friends to come over and the parents can be present and keep an eye on them. It can become a social time for the parents, as well as a playtime for the kids, he added, saying that getting a quote for land design or for a pool is no problem for The Coastal Companies.

Weve always been proactive, since were a young firm, with over 20 years of business, Klink said. Weve a very tech-heavy business, and a lot of our business is done with iPhones and iPads and via the Internet. We were already set up for this situation. I dont need to meet you in person give you a quote for a pool. I can go over and take a walk around your yard, take a look at it, come up with some drawings and set up a (Go to Meeting) meeting. We can go over the pictures with the clients and walk them through, from their couch, everything were going to do.

Whether your needs are such as installing a new lawn or putting privacy plantings in place, to larger jobs such as creating and installing your new landscape, pools, stonewalls we are equipped for all phases. The Coastal Companied will work from your plans or, if you like, from plans created by its experienced design staff.

We do everything in-house. We have our own licensed employees, Klink said. We have employees and divisions and managers in all three groups, ready to help.

In 1979, author Joan Didion wrote that shopping malls are toy garden cities where no one lives but everyone consumes.

That was when malls and their role in American culture were at their pinnacle.

The 1985 blockbuster hit Back to the Future repurposed a shopping mall parking lot into a time-travel launch point between past and present. What could be a better symbol of American destiny in the affluent 80s?

Now, decades later, hundreds of malls nationwide are closing or contracting. Now, as the shelter-in-place orders are being loosened and malls are starting to reopen, its clear that a few powerhouse malls in the Twin Cities will continue to evolve and thrive.

Well-located and managed by savvy owners, malls such as Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka and Rosedale Center in Roseville are reinventing themselves as experiential, mixed-use destinations where shopping is just one of many reasons to visit.

We are way over-retailed when it comes to built space, said Joan Suko, Ridgedales senior general manager, adding that the United States has more retail square footage per capita than any other country.

Thats why Suko sees the loss of anchor stores, such as a Sears or a Herbergers, not as harbingers of doom for brick-and-mortar retail, but as opportunities to reinvent shopping centers for the next generation as community hubs.

Architect Bill Baxley, who heads the Minneapolis office of the international architecture firm Gensler, led the recent conceptual revisioning of Rosedale. Like Suko, he sees department store closings as creating new options for 24-hour activities including health clubs, shared-work spaces, theaters and restaurants.

We approach it as a planning process in reverse, Baxley said. Rather than building from the ground up, we start with an existing property and rethink it to relate back to the community that surrounds it today.

The former J.C. Penney footprint at Edinas Southdale, another mall on the remake, has become a 204,000-square-foot Life Time fitness facility, where guests can exercise, play indoor soccer and even work in the shared office environments on-site. Soon, a new Southdale Library will open, connected to the mall.

By the end of this year, Ridgedale will have three major multiunit residential projects right next door. This is the kind of density and mixed uses long advocated by Julie Wischnack, Minnetonkas director of community development.

The Avidor Minnetonka apartment project is a pioneering example of how Minnesota is rethinking shopping malls. Scheduled to open this fall, the 168-unit Avidor, marketed to ages 55 and over, shows how buildings can bring walkability to places long dominated by the car.

Opening directly onto the new 1.8-acre Ridgedale Park and parkway boulevard, Avidor is a city-scaled building that frames the space around it rather than standing alone. The Ridgedale Library is just across the boulevard and a nearby bike trail will connect to Crane Lake Park (just to the east of Ridgedale) and all the way south to the Minnetonka Mills Park and Minnehaha Creek. New roundabouts and trees will calm traffic and introduce a green buffer on the malls southern edge.

Rethinking Rosedale

Built in 1969 as one the original dales shopping centers, Rosedale Center is still thriving. Its also evolving into a walkable village center with outdoor streets, a new grocery store and perhaps even a hotel.

According to plans drawn up in 2019, the center will have a new entry plaza along a curving boulevard. There also will be a pedestrian street slicing through the old Herbergers, which will essentially create a distinct stand-alone building where Kowalskis Markets is slated to open. The revamped structure will also house other retail and entertainment businesses on the street level along with apartments and, possibly, a hotel above.

We are still planning for a green space near restaurant row [the plaza near AMC] and pedestrian connections along the south side of the current mall, says Lisa Crain, Rosedales senior general manager. The improvements are expected to be made in the next three to five years.

In the post-quarantine years, such schedules may change. But a new generation of mixed-use community centers is coming possibly even more alluring now, as we rediscover the healthfulness and value of being outside.

Progress continues on the extension of the Glacial Drumlin Trail in Cottage Grove to the Capital City Trail in Madison, but bike riders hoping to make the trek this year will have to wait a little longer.

While village officials are moving ahead with its portion of the project, thanks to a $554,800 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant, Dane County is a little slower on its end.

We are currently working on design and engineering for the segment of trail between the interstate (39/90) and Buckeye Road, and are at about 60 percent completion, said Chris James, senior landscape architect with Dane County Land and Water Resources-Parks Division. We are also working with the DOT (Department of Transportation), DNR (Department of Natural Resources) and Wisconsin and Southern Railroad on negotiating terms of the shared right of way for both the trail and railroad to co-exist through the corridor under the interstate. My best estimate now is we should be finalizing plans and approvals by early 2021 for the segment between the interstate and Buckeye Road, with construction potentially in 2022 pending available funds.

The connection between Buckeye Road and Cottage Grove is possibly even farther down the road.

We are still trying to acquire lands necessary for the trail between Buckeye Road and Cottage Grove, James said. Timing for that segment is uncertain.

In Cottage Grove, officials will begin work this year on connecting the trailhead in the village with a point that will become the east end of the Dane County portion.

The off-road path will run along the east end of Clark Street, replacing the sidewalk that currently exists on the south side of the street, according to a May 15 memo from JJ Larson, director of public works, to the Cottage Grove Village Board. As it heads west, the path will move through Bakken Park, utilizing some of the existing path there.

During the initial application and concept planning, there was no plan to have real estate work needed, as the project will stay entirely inside the right-of-way of Clark Street. However, now that officials are into the design aspect of the project, it has become clear there will be some real estate work required.

Specifically, we will need to have temporary limited easements from the property owners along two blocks of Clark Street, Larson said. These allow work on private property, in order to match grade of existing driveways for the most part, while not needing a permanent easement granted, as the finished project still remains entirely in the existing right-of-way.

Larson said the village is working on a three-party contract with the DOT and MSA (village engineering firm) the engineering and design of the project.

Because this real estate work is not eligible for funding through the TAP grant, the village will pay MSA for the work, estimated at $45,850.

Larson said the costs will be covered by the village planned project borrowing in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered humans relationship with natural landscapes in ways that may be long-lasting. One of its most direct effects on peoples daily lives is reduced access to public parks.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issuedguidelinesurging Americans to stay at home whenever feasible, and to avoid discretionary travel and gatherings of more than 10 people. Emergency declarations and stay-at-home ordersvary from state to state, but many jurisdictions have closedstateandcounty parks, as well as smaller parks, playgrounds, beaches and other outdoor destinations.

Theres good reason for these actions, especially in places where people havespurned social distancing rules. But particularly in urban environments, parks are important to human health and well-being.

As alandscape architect, I believe thatFrederick Law Olmsted, the founder of our field, took the right approach. Olmsted served as general secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission during the Civil War, and his knowledge of contagious diseases informed his visions for his great North American urban parks, includingCentral Parkin New York,Mount Royal Parkin Montreal and BostonsEmerald Necklacepark system. In my view, closing parks and public green spaces should be a temporary, last-resort measure for disease control, and reopening closed parks should be a priority as cities emerge from shutdowns.

Making healthy places

Olmsted was born in 1822 but became a landscape architect rather late in his career, atage 43. His ideas evolved from a diverse and unique set of experiences.

From the start, Olmsted recognized the positive effect of nature, noting how urban trees provided a soothing and refreshing sanitary influence. His sanitary style of design offered more than mere decoration and ornamentation. Service must precede art was his cry.

Olmsted came of age in the mid-19th century, as the public health movement was rapidly developing in response to typhoid, cholera and typhus epidemics in European cities. As managing editor of Putnams Monthly in New York City, he regularly walked the crowded tenement streets of Lower Manhattan.

At the U.S. Sanitary Commission during the Civil War, Olmsted led efforts to improve sanitation in Union Army military camps and protect soldiers health. He initiated policies for selecting proper camp locations, installing drainage and disposing of waste, ventilating tents and preparing food, all designed to reduce disease. And in 1866 he witnessed adoption of New YorksMetropolitan Health Bill, the first city law to control unhealthy housing conditions.

Antidotes to urban stress

The insights Olmsted gained into connections between space, disease control and public health clearly influenced his landscape architectural career and the design of many urban park systems. For example, his design for the interlinked parks that forms BostonsEmerald Necklaceforeshadowed the concept of green infrastructure.

This system centered on stagnant and deteriorated marshes that had became disconnected from the tidal flow of the Charles River as Boston grew. City residents were dumping trash and sewage in the marshes, creatingfetid dumps that spread waterborne diseases. Olmsteds design reconnected these water systems to improve flow and flush out stagnant zones, while integrating a series of smaller parks along its trailways.

Olmsted also designedAmericas first bike lane, which originated in Brooklyn, New Yorks Prospect Park. Of the tree-lined boulevards in his design for Central Park, Olmsted said, Air is disinfected by sunlight and foliage. Foliage also acts mechanically topurify the air by screening it.

In all of his urban parks, Olmsted sought to immerse visitors in restorative and therapeutic natural landscapes an experience he viewed as the most profound and effective antidote to the stress and ailments of urban life.

Parks in the time of COVID-19

Today researchers are documenting many health benefits associated with being outside. Spending time in parks and green spaces clearly benefits urban dwellerspsychological, emotional and overall well-being. Itreduces stress,improves cognitive functioningand is associated withimproved overall health.

In my view, government agencies should work to make these vital services as widely available as possible, especially during stressful periods like pandemic shutdowns. Certain types of public green spaces, such as botanical gardens, arboretums and wide trails, are well suited to maintaining social distancing rules. Other types where visitors may be likely to cluster, such as beaches and playgrounds, require stricter regulation.

There are many ways to make parks accessible with appropriate levels of control. One option is stationing agents at entry points to monitor and enforce capacity controls. Park managers can use timed entries and parking area restrictions to limit social crowding, as well as temperature screening and face mask provisions.

For example, inNew Jersey, many public parks have reopened for walking, hiking, bicycling and fishing while keeping playgrounds, picnic and camping areas and restrooms closed. They also have limited parking capacity to 50% of capacity.

In Shanghai,China, the government recently reopened most parks and several major attractions, including theChenshan Botanical Gardenand thecity zoo. Entry requires successful screening and online reservations, and visits are limited to a maximum of two hours.

Technologies such as GPS tracking and biometrics can set a precedent for future green space interaction. Residents could sign up for reserved time slots and log into apps that monitor their entry and distancing behavior. Some Americans might be put off by such technocentric means, but officials should be clear that making visitation easy and safe for all is the priority.

There will be challenges, especially when peopleflout social distancing rules. But urban parks and nature offer plenty of benefits that are especially important during a pandemic. I believe that finding ways to enjoy them now in a manner safe for all will be well worth the effort.

When construction on the$1 billion Virginia Tech Innovation Campus is completed, it will be a mostly walkable campus with underground parking and significant open space, according to a presentation Tuesday by the Virginia Tech Foundation and developer JBG SMITH.

The first phase of development will occur at the current location of the Regal Potomac Yard movie theatre, which is closed due to the pandemic. It is unknown if it will open again before construction begins.

The developers unveiled plans for the first phase of development, which includes the construction of a9-10 story structure will be located along E. Reed Avenue, Potomac Avenue and a campus green space. The building, as well as the other Virginia Tech buildings, willbe built to reach LEED Silver certification and the areas immediately around it will include lawns and walking paths.

There will also be a slope of less than 5%, meaning that there will be no steps or handrails on the campus.

The overall illustrative plan shows the projects contiguous an interconnected network of open spaces that stretch between Potomac Avenue and George Washington Memorial Parkway, said Simon Beer, a landscape architect with design firm OJB. All of the design of these spaces at this point are conceptual in nature, as we present them today. Our team is going to continue to work with the city with you and with each individual buildings architect as we continue the process.

The open spaces includePotomac Yard Park, a Metro plaza, a market lawn and a pedestrian plaza.Virginia Tech will take up four acres of the northern end near the Alexandria border with Arlington, and the underground parking will be available once the buildings are finished.

The development will alsosee the construction of three academic buildings dedicated to computer science research and development programs. The permanent campus is currently planned to be operational by fall 2024, and will accommodate 750 computer science masters degree students per year and more than100 doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows.

The city will undergo the approval process for the projects preliminary infrastructure plan this June, in addition to an approval for a pump station to handle sanitary sewer flows from the proposed project and other off-site properties so that construction can begin in the fall.

UPDATED: 05/22/20 2:39 p.m.

On June 9, the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Tampa is holding a public meeting to discuss the future of the Seminole Heights Baptist Church, which is arguably the most prominent structure in Seminole Heights (its steeple can be seen from I-275).

A city document says the request pertains to the demolition of property listed, Eligible for listing, or pending listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) individually or as contributing in a National Register-listed historic district or property in the HPC workplan. The document also mentions a request for determination of economic hardship.

Creative Loafing Tampa Bays calls and voicemails to the listed authorized agent, former Tampa City Attorney Julia C. Mandell, have yet to be returned along with calls and messages to City of Tampa building inspector Jerry Schrenker, and Eddie Browder.

Browders LinkedIn profile says hes a project manager and landscape architect at Orlando engineering firm S&ME. S&ME submitted a plan for the church, located at 810 E. Hillsborough Ave. in Tampas Seminole Heights neighborhood, to the city.

Those plans, like many related to this demolition, can be seen by anyone via the citys Tampas Accela Citizen Access site.

City of Tampa

And for now, without comment from the engineering firm, developer and city officials or any of the newest documents, we have to speculate about the process and future of the historic structure (with a lowercase "h," by the way, not "Historic" as in on the National Register of Historic Places).

Josh Frank, Principal and Urban Designer at Wide Open Officewhich works to establish new relationships between people and their environment through landscape architecture, urban design and community developmenttold CL that these are typical documents for these kinds of proposals.

But based on the docs available,the plan for the demolition of the church could pretty well be on its way.

Frank, 31, said those plans could be for marketing and pointed out that there could be a new plan for the site that isn't online yet.

But a look at aforementioned test fit site plan, which shows a 10,860 square-foot free standing emergency room within the footprint of the church, which was founded in 1921. The plan also shows a future expansion zone (blue dotted line, ironically next to the shadow of the churchs famous steeple) in addition to a list of all the requirements for permitting on the right side of the sheet. There are square footage numbers for the parking, plus floor-to-area ratio numbers that all signify that the project is pretty close to applying for permits.

If it was purely for funsies, you wouldn't necessarily do those calculations, Frank told CL.

Sill, to many on urban development blogs like URBN Tampa Bay, it looks like there's an intent to demolish the church.

The old fire station on the Taliaferro side of the property is also in jeopardy according to the preliminary site plan.

The plan also shows a desire for a curb cut (entrance/exit) on Hillsborough Avenue, but a note on the plan says it is unlikely to be approved.

Frank agrees that the curb cut will be disapproved since Hillsborough Avenue is an Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) road thats close to the interstate.

That shows me that they know what they're doing and that maybe they've had conversations with FDOT to some degree, Frank said.

Brant Adams, Pastor of Seminole Heights Baptist told CL that, "The plan you are looking at is not official or anything that has been submitted, from preliminary discussions."

He said church members are trying discover what their rights as a property owner are.

"The Church Membership is the property owner, whom has built and removed many buildings over the decades on this property," Adams added.

CL also reached out to Atelier Architectures Vivian Salaga, who is listed as the Chair for Tampas Historic Preservation Commission.Salaga wrote that, Unfortunately, I cannot speak with you regarding this matter.

I sit on the Historic Preservation Commission and this would be considered ex parte communication and render me unable to act on this matter at the public hearing, Salaga added in an email.

CL then asked for comment from Dennis Fernandez, Manager of Tampas office for Architectural Review and Historic Preservation.

This is a developing story, and we will update this post later today.

The public meeting is set for Tuesday, June 9 at 9 a.m. inside meeting rooms 14-17 on the first floor of the Tampa Convention Center, located at 333 S. Franklin St. Social distancing measures will be in practice, and members of the public who do not wish to appear in person may submit written comments for the Architectural Review & Historic Preservation Office by mail (4900 W. Lemon St., Tampa, FL 33609) or email (beverly.jewesak@tampagov.net) no later than 24 hours before the meeting.
