Architect Nicholas Potts returns for another history-revealing walking tour, this time exploring the ever-evolving look of SoHo in New York City. From stone-mimicking cast-iron details to repurposed mercantile buildings with soaring glass windows, Nick breaks down the surprising history and motivations that led to the distinctive style "South of Houston."

I’d be interested in what buildings in New York City are Nick’s favorites and why. This is my favorite series!
@nicholaspotts8728
@nicholaspotts8728 Год назад
Favorites are hard and too numerous to count! But I always find myself going back to: (a) the Seagram Building on Park Avenue between E. 52nd and 53rd... for so, so many reasons (including its materials, its patronage/Phyllis Lambert's willing it into being, and the peculiarity that the first 20 feet of the interior ceilings are part of its Landmarks designation), (b) the Woolworth Building on Broadway @ Park Place for its optimism about what skyscrapers could be (c) Grand Central for how it works in section to move people effortlessly between sunken train tracks and several levels of streets above in a very tiny footprint, plus some great Guastavino vaulting, and (d) the Veterans' Room in the Park Avenue Armory for the experimental details and textures that its designers, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Candace Wheeler, and Stanford White - thought to put together - yet it all works.

Very interesting how a new technology for the end of 19th century - cast iron building- was thought as fireproof only to disappoint when tested by actual fires. It's a process with all new technology. And Soho and Flat Iron districts are unique that they were build up very rapidly in a matter of just 2-3 decades in that style. Other cities might just have a few buildings here and there, maybe a port area with these types but NYC has dozens and dozens of streets of them.

It’s only fitting that AD features an Architect breaking down styles by cathegory. And that said Architect is a subject matter expert. The edited flow, the sequency of building styles , the sound track , all fit in perfectly. I know these featured videos take time to put together. I can only hope they keep on finding more topic videos of building’s external views to dissect.

First of all it is refreshing to see a building in the iron district that has a black doors with part of the building above white to one side and another side with a rich brick color on the other side. I thought Iron is fire proof so putting an external fireproof coat another paint can go over makes it fire resistant. Very cool, I want to see the inside of this building.

In my hometown of Bolton in the UK we have a indoor market hall, it is a beautiful and giant iron structure, with a neo-classicial exterior, when built in the 1860s it was said to be the largest indoor market in the country. It's an amazing piece of architecture, very airy and bright, worthy of a major city. It's called the Bolton Marketplace or Market Hall.

@@Alex-cw3rz indoor markets aren't rare. There actually are quite a number of them. I looked at Bolton online: beautiful building. But as an indoor market, I don't find it that impressive.

It's pretty amazing what the architects and engineers of the time were able to achieve using cast iron to decorate the facades of these buildings; imitating the stone facades of Renaissance, Italy with some panache. The original polychromatic colour schemes would probably look quite shocking to modern eyes, I imagine.

Pretty much the entirety of SoHo and NoHo have been designated historic districts. However, that being said, the Marxist/socialist element of NYC government, spurred on by former mayor DeBlasio, are currently trying to turn SoHo into an "affordable housing" neighborhood, i.e., The Projects. It seems that these radical leftwingnuts will not stop until they have ruined everything that smacks of Eurocentrism in the name of "social justice."

Tons of history with that one including the first passenger elevator; and when it was a department store, Mary Todd Lincoln had White House china painted there.
