The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park South
50 Central Park South, New York, New York 10019
Architect Emery Roth designed the top section of the St. Moritz with several irregular setbacks, dressed window surrounds and decorative spandrels.
--------------------------
According to the NY Times Donald Trump bought the St. Moritz for $72 million in 1985 from a syndicate led by Harry B. Helmsley. He intended to renovate the property, but instead sold it in 1988 to Alan Bond, an Australian entrepreneur, for $180 million. Mr. Bond eventually gave up the St. Moritz to his lender, F.A.I. Insurances. F.A.I. bought the land beneath the St. Moritz and ran the hotel for much of the 1990's.
In April 1998 Ian Schrager, in partnership with NorthStar Capital Investment Corp. acquired the St. Moritz Hotel. The seller was FAI Insurance, an Australian Insurance Company. Credit Suisse First Boston provided acquisition financing.
FAI Insurance reported in its 1998 Year End Report that it sold the St. Moritz Hotel in New York for U.S.$185 million and leasing of the fee simple (freehold land) to Ian Schrager Hotels LLC.
FAI retained the fee simple deed valued at U.S.$115 million as part of the transaction. Analysts reported that the value of the land alone exceeds the market capitalization of the entire Company.
Schrager planned to call upon Philippe Starck to design and redevelop the St. Moritz as a world-class property. Starck was responsible for the design of four of Mr. Schrager's other properties: Royalton and Paramount in New York, Delano in Miami Beach and Mondrian in West Hollywood.
A month before selling to Ian Schrager F.A.I. was planning to participate in a $110 million reconstruction of the St Moritz with Donald Trump and Bankers Trust. Trump was planning to strip the 35-story limestone and brick building down to its steel girders and build condominiums under the skin of a new facade.
The NY Times reported in November 1999 that Christopher M. Jeffries of Millennium Partners struck a deal to buy the 69-year-old hotel from Ian Schrager's hotel company, which had bought it 18 months earlier. Millennium intends to provide The once stylish hotel a full makeover and become a 300-room Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Under the terms of the deal, Millennium adnd Schrager's company would form a joint venture to convert the top 12 floors of the 35-story building into 14 luxury condominiums and selling for more than $10 million each. Millennium agreed to payoff Schrager Hotels $95 million mortgage with Credit Suisse First Boston and to spend about $150 million renovating the St. Moritz. To build the condominiums Millennium would be required to buy at least a portion of the land under the hotel owned by F.A.I. Insurances.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company removed its flags and severed its agreement to manage a nearby hotel at 112 Central Park South in May 1998
The NY Post reported in December 2001 that eight of the 11 condos at 50 Central Park South have sold at prices ranging from $16 million to $50 million.
In August 2008 Real estate developer Christopher Jeffries, whose Millennium Partners turned the St. Moritz into a Ritz-Carlton with 277 rooms and 11 full-floor condos, has sold his 29th floor, 5,954-square-foot condo in the building for $28.5 million.
Millennium Partners opened the 277-room Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park in May 2002 along with the French restaurant, Atelier. In 2006 Laurent Tourondel took over the Atelier space on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Central Park South with BLT Market.
Earlier History
In 1928 the New York Athletic Club was moving into its new clubhouse, a 21 story structure on the East side of Seventh Avenue between 58th Street and Central Park South (where it remains today), and the Uris brothers (Harris and Percy) contracted to buy the old clubhouse at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Central Park South for $2,500,000. They planned to build a 35 story 900 room hotel at a cost of $10,000,000. The architect was Emery Roth. The hotel was to be managed by S. Gregory Taylor (born: Soterios Gregorios Tavoulares).
On November 1, 1928, Taylor opened the Montclair Hotel, between 49th and 50th streets on Lexington Avenue. It was designed by Emory Roth with a façade in Spanish style and built by the Harper organization. Taylor was president, Oscar W. Richardson, resident manager and Gaston Lauryssen, associate manager. Harris H. and Percy Uris were also the developers, and the mortgage was for $2,500,000.
In 1930 Taylor opened the Hotel St. Moritz, (named after St. Moritz, Switzerland) which had been under construction for two years, with great fanfare. The hotel was 38 stories with 1,000 rooms in units of one room to large suites, with many terrace apartments, and three penthouses. A dinner and dancing salon was on the 31st floor, with Omar Khayyam murals done by David Karfunkel, as well as commanding panoramic views of New York City. Emory Roth was the architect and Laurence Emmons designed the interior. The Rumpelmayer pastry and tea shop was on the 59th Street side of the building - in later years the Café de la Paix.
In October 1931, the St. Mortiz and the Hotel Dixie and, both owned by the Uris brothers, were in receivership.
On January 13, 1932, the New York Times reported that a new company headed by S. Gregory Taylor had taken over the St. Moritz. The new company, the Engadine Holding Corporation, acquired the hotel for about $4 million from the Bowery Saving Bank.

I am not a fan of photography gimmicks, but I had to try Redscale photography. I made this roll of Redscale by rewinding a roll of Kodak UltraMax so that I was shooting through the back side of the film. I had to overexpose by 2 and 1/3 stops to get these photos.

The Integrated Touchless System is designed to create touchless versions of new or existing digital exhibits in museums and other public institutions. The system uses a combination of software and hardware that allows visitors to easily understand how to interact with touchless technology even if they are completely unfamiliar with this type of interaction. The system uses a color-coded approach and combines software and hardware to provide realtime feedback.
The software system was developed using the Leap Motion SDK, Unity3D, and other software packages. Custom cursors help provide feedback on the main screen of the kiosk. An Integrated touchless hardware system which includes a Leap Motion device, a 3.5” display, and LED lights provides additional feedback to visitors as they interact. The current hardware system works with Ideum Drafting tables but could be modified to be used with virtually any system.
The Integrated Touchless System is designed to allow developers to quickly retrofit existing applications without having to make major changes to the underlying exhibits. It could also be used to author new exhibits that would be touchless.
The project’s goal is to help museums in the US and throughout the world that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This software and future versions will be available as part of an open-source initiative entitled Touchless.Design. In addition to the software, research findings, DIY instructions for building integrated touchless hardware systems, and other information will be available through Touchless.Design. The full release will be available in fall 2020.
Website design has come a long way since the Internet entry into the business field. Almost all companies have a website, but not up to par with their current image and information. If your company website is currently in this situation, it's time to think about web site re-design services.

The somewhat mythological RAC guidelines. These intensely detailed and precise guidelines outline the new RAC identity (also by North) established in 1997.
Things I've come to know or stories I've heard:
— 250 copies were produced
— Printed four colour process with six spot colours and two varnishes
— The guidelines took one year to design and produce
— Without substantial experience in large corporate identity programmes (at the time), North simply 'winged it' throughout the identity development. Although:
— A copy of the BMW corporate design guidelines by Zintzmeyer & Lux acted as a primary design reference
— As an example of the rigour undertaken for the programme, tests of the hi-vis clothing designs were conducted by North on a hard shoulder of a highway in wet and windy, low visibility conditions

A while ago I set up a Flickr group to document the work of 8vo, and have finally got around to taking and uploading some photos of their work.
There is so much to say about Ray and Charles Eames that I hardly know where to begin. I hope to just reintroduce them and their work to the next design generation. They defined so much of how we see design today.
