Winka Dubbeldam’s 497 Greenwich Building | selected for Beverly Willis | Architecture Foundation’s “Built by Women Awards”

   It’s official! Our project, 497 Greenwich Building was selected by an esteemed jury for inclusion in the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation’s “Built by Women Awards” (BxW, NYC) from a pool of over 350 unique entries. The GW building will be featured in an exhibit from March 2, 2015 – April 11, 2015, at the Center for Architecture (536 LaGuardia Place, NYC). The Exhibit opening is on March 2, 2015 from 6-8, and is free to public, but an RSVP is required to attend.

In 2006, 497 Greenwich won the IIDA / Metropolis “Smart Environment Award.”  The building, which is located on the edge of SoHo, is an 11-story structure known for its innovative, folded glass façade, a first in parametric design.

Herbert Muschamp, revered critic for the New York Times wrote “Dubbeldam’s new design, her second New York project, is a parabuilding, an addition that wraps around the top and one side of an existing loft structure on Greenwich Street between Spring and Canal.…………… I like these new crystals. They seem ideally suited to a built-up cityscape that is often compared to a natural formation. I particularly like them in the form of parabuildings which fasten upon older structures, as if precipitated there by a dense atmosphere of change. And I suspect that the desire for change will produce even more of these gems. So will new developments in glass technology. These were the same factors that drove the Expressionist passion for glass at the beginning of the last century. It makes good historical sense for architects to revisit that source today.
