The Noguchi Museum (original warehouse, 1929; Isamu Noguchi and Shoji Sadao, mainly 1982-1983, with garden installed in 1985). Formerly Noguchi's studio, this is probably one of my favorite archi-spots in NYC: a reliably calming and absorbing visit, whatever the current exhibits are. I don't think I can really say too much of interest about the design itself, though I think the primary concrete-block addition is a great neutral foil for Noguchi's stone sculptures, and does lovely things with indoor/outdoor continuity. It's just really nice!
Taken exactly a year ago. It was my first visit to downtown Detroit in more than 2 decades. I couldn't believe how empty it was. There were hardly any cars, and no place to even get a cup of coffee.
Designers; Louis Kahn and Isamu Noguchi, 1960-66. Unbuilt project for New York City's Riverside Park.
This is ISAMU NOGUCHI's sculpture called "Red Cube" (1968, red painted steel) located in front of Brothers Harriman building (previously HSBC) at 140 Broadway, between Liberty and Cedar Streets in downtown Manhattan near Ground Zero.

In Costa Mesa, CA there is a artsy park tucked away between some buildings located near South Coast Plaza. This is the result of 25 photos. This is the park as seen from the west side of the adjacent parking garage.
The park was designed by: Isamu Noguchi
The Noguchi Playscape, located near the 12th Street Gate in Piedmont Park, was designed in 1976 by world-renowned artist and sculptor Isamu Noguchi, at part of the “Art in the Park” project for the Atlanta Bicentennial under the aegis of the High Museum and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Playscapes is the only Noguchi-designed playground completed in his lifetime. Noguchi playgrounds are aspects of what he called "the sculpture of spaces", intended to make sculpture a useful part of everyday life.
Piedmont Park is a 189-acre municipal park located between the Midtown and Virginia Highland neighborhoods. The land was originally owned by Dr. Benjamin Walker, who sold it in 1887 to the Gentleman's Driving Club, later renamed the Piedmont Driving Club, who let the Piedmont Exposition Company, headed by Charles A. Collier, use it for fairs and expositions. The park was originally designed by Joseph Forsyth Johnson to host the Piedmont Exposition in 1887 and then later, the Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895. From 1902 to 1904, the park was home to Atlanta's first professional baseball team, the Atlanta Crackers, and in 1903, it played host to the second football game and the beginning of the "Deep South's Oldest Rivalry" between Auburn University (then named Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama) and the University of Georgia. In 1904, the park underwent a redesign called the Olmsted plan, led by the sons of New Frederick Law Olmsted--John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.

When Ann and I were going to the Isamu Noguchi garden museum where in Shikoku (traveling Shikoku set) , this work was not able to be seen. Because it was exhibiting in the Isamu Noguchi exhibition in Tokyo. We only went to Tokyo all the way to see this one!
This is the beautiful, stainless steel bas-relief over the main entrance to 50 Rockefeller Plaza, which is the Associated Press Building.
Evidently, the locals do impromptu performances to relieve themselves of the apparent ennui in Orange County.
Noguchi did work with the theatre, so this was probably what he hoped for in the evenings!

The Marine Midland Building (also HSBC Bank Building) is a 51-story office building located at 140 Broadway in Manhattan's financial district. The building, completed in 1967, is 688 ft (209.7 m) tall and is known for the distinctive sculpture at its entrance, Isamu Noguchi's Cube. Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the man who designed the building, had originally proposed a monolith type sculpture, but it was deemed to be too expensive.
The building is approximately 677 feet (206 m) high, measuring approximately 1,170,000 rentable square feet (111,000 square meters).
The building was built by a consortium headed by Harry Helmsley and Marine Midland Bank received naming rights as part of its lease agreement which initially covered the two basement and first 20 floors. Controlling interest in Marine Midland was purchased by HSBC in 1980 and they secured 100% ownership in the 1987; the name of the bank was changed to HSBC Bank USA in 1998. Today the building is known by both names, but is more often referred to by its older name to distinguish it from the other HSBC Buildings.
A bombing occurred on the 8th floor on August 20, 1969, injuring 20 people. The bomb, which police estimated to be the equivalent of 25 sticks of dynamite, was placed in a hallway just off the elevators some time during the evening and it exploded at around 10:30PM. The injured were on the night shift in the bank's stock bookkeeping department and were working on the other side of the corridor wall. Fortunately, the inside of this wall was lined with floor-to-ceiling automated file units that weighed 3 tons each and which absorbed most of the blast. Without them, the 20 injuries would all have been fatalities. The blast moved the file units about a foot, blew out all the windows on that side of the building and opened a 5-foot (1.5 m) hole in the reinforced concrete floor. The bomber, Sam Melville, was convicted of this and seven other 1969 Manhattan bombings and sentenced to 18 years in prison. He was killed by a state sharpshooter during the Attica Prison riots in September 1971.
The primary tenant of the building as of 2010 is Brown Brothers Harriman, leasing some 430,000 ft² (40,000 m²) in 2003. BBH moved to the site from their trademark location at 59 Wall Street, filling a vacancy left after HSBC moved their primary New York offices out of the building, to the HSBC building at 452 5th Ave.

I almost passed by the Noguchi Museum without taking a photo. I was across the street at Costco. I managed to get the sun behind the museum and you can see where it is. There is some question about the neighborhood name. This is considered by many to be Astoria.

“Playscapes”
1976
Artist: Isamu Noguchi
Noguchi Playscapes
The Isamu Noguchi Playscapes, a sculptural playground, was commissioned in 1975 by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, and realized in 1976. The museum donated the work to Atlanta in honor of the city’s bicentennial. Former mayor Maynard Jackson accepted the gift on the city’s behalf.
The sculptural playground is a learning environment that children can enjoy and explore. Playscapes is also an exceptional work of art created by a preeminent sculptor. Although Noguchi proposed a number of play environments, only Atlanta’s was completed in the continental United States during his lifetime.
Isamu Noguchi
(1904-1988)
Isamu Noguchi was one of the twentieth century’s most important sculptors and designers. His versatility as an artist is evident in works ranging from abstract sculpture, to gardens, to furniture, to set designs. Noguchi’s innovative parks, plazas, fountains, playgrounds, and public pieces are celebrated around the world.
Noguchi was born in Los Angeles in 1904 to an American writer and a Japanese poet. Raised in Japan, he was sent back to the U.S. to study at the age of 13. While attending the Leonardo da Vinci School of Art, in New York City, he quickly established himself as a skilled academic sculptor. A Guggenheim Fellowship awarded in 1927 in recognition of his talent enabled him to spend three years studying abroad. This brought Noguchi into contact with such leading modern artists in Europe as sculptor Constantin Brancusi, who introduced Noguchi to stone carving. In 1930, Noguchi traveled back to Japan. While studying Zen gardens and Eastern architecture, he became interested in integrating art with the everyday environment. Isamu Noguchi’s prolific and varied body of work can be viewed at The Noguchi Museum, created by himself in Long Island City, New York.
Our Daily Challenge: Sculpture
As soon as I saw today's challenge I knew where I wanted to go. With the threat of rain coming I ... who am i kidding, I strolled. This is one of the most beautiful man made area's in Southern California, of course I strolled. It is actually situated at an office park. Created in 1980 by Isamu Noguchi it is a sculptoral landscape blending all of what California is. It combines sculptures and real landscape to create one of the most unique pieces of art I've come across. Pictures do this place no good. There is a small forest of pines to the left and a small desert landscape to the right.
This really is one of my favorite places and I am glad for the challenge today because I actually knew NOTHING of the background or who made this. I did an internet search for the history.
(Cool excerpt from one of the sights)
The art is by Isamu Noguchi, a California native whom many critics consider to be one of America ‘s leading sculptors. His creation is a 1.6-acre collection of sculptures and plantings called CALIFORNIA SCENARIO. This Costa Mesa sculpture and horticulture landscape presents an abstract, condensed vision of the Golden State.
