The Mark Hotel (formerly The Mark Mandarin Oriental Hotel)
25 East 77th Street (at Madison Avenue)
New York, NY
Lobby sitting area - The Mark Hotel - designed by Jacques Grange
--------------------
Originally built as a hotel, The Mark was designed in a neo-Italian Renaissance-style by architects, Schwartz and Gross. The fifteen-story structure is faced with red bricks and sits in the shadow of the Carlyle Hotel. Schwartz and Gross also designed The Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel and the Surrey Hotel at 20 East 76th St.
The hotel for many years was known as The Mark Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
According to a Mandarin Oriental press release dated January 2, 2006 it sold its 100% leasehold interest in The Mark, New York, for a gross consideration of US$150 million to Izak Senbahar and Simon Elias (Alexico Group). The hotel was originally acquired in 2000 as part of the US$142.5 million acquisition of The Rafael Group.
The hotel closed in 2007 and reopened in August 2009 as a hotel/co-op following a $250+ million makeover with 118 hotel rooms, and 42 co-op apartments. Prices for the co-ops range from $2 million to $60 million.
The hotels penthouse at 9,800 feet contains 5 bedrooms and 4 woodburning fireplaces and is listed for $60 million. Its living room is topped by a copper cupola, part of the original 1926 structure.
The Mark Hotel does not own the land it sits on - the annual land lease payment is $4 million.
Developer of the Mark Hotel, the Alexico Group, brought in chef Jean-George Vongerichten to run the 1st floor restaurant and designer Jacques Grange to reimagine the lobby and create 42 residences. The Alexico Group also developed the Alex Hotel at 205 East 45th Street.
The Alexico Group also operate The Laurel Hotel at 400 East 67th Street and recently bought the Flatotel Hotel on E. 51st St. with plans to turn it into another luxury property
The Real Deal reported in April 2010 that the Alexico Group has scaled back the co-op offerings from 42 units to 10 units due to a lack of demand.
Alexico had borrowed $255 million from Anglo Irish Bank for the project.
In March 2011 Dune Real Estate Partners acquired Anglo Irish Bank's $255 million mortgage loan on the Mark Hotel for $190 million. In june 2011 Dune Real Estate Partners filed to foreclose on loans granted to the Alexico Group's Mark Hotel.
The Irish Times reported the developers Simon Elias and Izak Senbahar of the Alexico Group are suing Anglo Irish Bank for $1 billion in a funding dispute over $500 million of loans that the bank gave to the men to redevelop three Manhattan hotels, the Mark, the Alex and the Flatotel.
The mounting board was designed to help with keeping each wall mount parallel and the exact distance apart. The final mounting board design was also integrated into the packaging design to add an additional colour to the packaging as well as stability and strength to the package
At least I think that's what it says. A little hard to read. Kind of over-designed, eh? Booya!

Arabian interior design is full of eastern promise. This concept is one of the most exciting and exotic styles to recreate in your home.

Op het eerste gezicht lijkt schaarste een toestand van gebrek aan grondstoffen of hulpmiddelen. Schaarste stelt dan aan ontwerpers in de eerste plaats de opdracht voor zuinigere, meer efficiënte ontwerpen. Maar hulpmiddelen en grondstoffen bestaan niet zomaar als geïsoleerde goederen die onvermijdelijk opraken; ze zijn deel van complexe netwerken. Gebrek is in hoge mate een relationeel begrip.
Drie internationaal vooraanstaande urbane denkers en ontwerpers van verschillende generaties - Jeremy Till, Hetty Berens (ter vervanging van John Habraken) en Axel Timm - delen hun inzichten in manieren waarop schaarste wordt geconstrueerd. Ze werpen licht op de rol van schaarste in het ontwerp van de bebouwde omgeving, en presenteren eigen ontwerpbenaderingen die het idee van schaarste creatief transformeren.
JEREMY TILL
Jeremy Till (UK) is architect, schrijver en docent. Hij is hoofd van Central Saint Martins, pro vice-chancellor op de University of the Arts London en initiatiefnemer en projectleider van SCIBE, een Europees onderzoeksproject over schaarste en creativiteit in de bebouwde omgeving. Jeremy Till is de prijswinnende auteur van Flexible Housing (met Tatjana Schneider, 2007), Architecture Depends (2009) en Spatial Agency (met Nishat Awan en Tatjana Schneider, 2011). Met Sarah Wigglesworth heeft hij het 'Straw Bale' ontworpen, een woon-/werkproject. Dit vooraanstaande voorbeeld van radicale ecologische en duurzame architectuur staat in Stock Orchard Street in Londen.
JOHN HABRAKEN
John Habraken (NL) is architect, docent en theoreticus. Zijn contributies liggen voornamelijk in het veld van de massa-woningbouw en de integratie van gebruikers en bewoners in het ontwerpproces. In zijn baanbrekende boek Supports: An Alternative to Mass Housing (1962) stelt hij manieren voor om bewoners een betekenisvolle rol te laten spelen in het ontwerpproces. In 1960 heeft Habraken voor Alfred Heineken de World Bottle (WOBO) ontworpen. Deze stapelbare bierfles kan worden gebruikt om muren te bouwen en is een toonaangevend voorbeeld van geïndustrialiseerde recycling en het adaptieve hergebruik van materialen.
Helaas heeft John Habraken wegens persoonlijke omstandigheden zijn deelname als spreker moeten afzeggen. Hetty Berens, curator bij Het Nieuwe Instituut heeft de volledige presentatie van John Habraken overgenomen.
AXEL TIMM
Axel Timm (D) is medeoprichter van Raumlabor, een Berlijns netwerk van acht samenwerkende architecten die opereren op het snijvlak van architectuur, stedenbouw, kunst en stedelijke interventie. Raumlabor wijdt zich aan het werken met plekken op hun werkelijke schaal en het ontdekken en gebruiken van wat ze binnen de omstandigheden van een terrein vinden. Raumlabor lost geen problemen op maar initieert processen die actoren de mogelijkheid geven om de stad, haar dynamiek en haar mogelijkheden te kennen, te begrijpen en te gebruiken. Ze streven naar een architectuur waarin de ruimte samengaat met de individuele ervaring en daarbij kwaliteiten onthult die leiden naar nieuwe beelden van de stad in de hoofden van haar gebruikers.

Nowadays, we continually share data: a message via WhatsApp, a picture on Instagram, an update on Facebook or an e-mail through Gmail. With whom do we really share this data? And how can we make sure that our personal data stay strictly personal?
This exhibition addresses issues of online privacy and digital surveillance. Next to several historical examples of encrypting, ‘Design my Privacy’ also shows some surprising contemporary strategies by more than 35 young designers and artists to maintain control over our data.

MAB Youth is an organisation that facilitate and promote intellectual engagement and discussion on topics relating to theological practice and how best to implement such practises best into contemporary lifestyles.
With a whole new generation of Muslims living in an even wider geographic expanse, the need to discuss the place of Islam in these new environments and put into context the morals and ethics of the principles outlined in the Qur'an has become all the more imperative.
As such, the design to advertise these seminars and debates needed to be equally engaging and intelligent. Classical subjects presented in a contemporary context - befitting the evolution of this faith based community - the core message is the same - but the presentation and manifestation may appear different.
Intellectual and engaging debates - as I hope these poster designs reflect.
Concept topic:
Tajweed (pronunciation of classical Arabic as featured in the Qur'an)
The msquared design logo. This design was completed in 2006. I was given the nickname msquared while in engineering school. After transferring to design school my first art teacher started calling me msquared as well so the name stuck and I've used it as my design alter-ego ever since.

While I'm not a fan of Star Wars, I have a lot of time for people like John Mollo, and the craftsmanship and imagination of the hard working artists and designers who served the west London studios. Andrew Ainsworth was part of that scene, an industrial designer who'd got into vacuum-formed plastics in the early days, producing custom car bodies using the process.
George Lucas, shooting Star Wars at Elstree studios, was looking for a way of making the armour in his new film look suitably futuristic. Ainsworth used vac-formed ABS to produce a prototype, and got the gig.
I walk past his shop most days when I'm at home.

JAGDA New Designer Award 2011 at Creation Gallery G8, Tokyo
JAGDA新人賞2011@クリエイションギャラリーG8
Award winners: Daigo Daikoku, Yui Takada and Masashi Tentaku
JAGDA Annual: Graphic Design in Japan 2011 published in June 2011.
Award Ceremony: JAGDA General Assembly 2011 on 11 June, 2011 at Tokyo Midtown
Overview by Satoh Taku, Editor in chief of Graphic Design in Japan 2011
The New Designer Awards are a harbinger of JAGDA’s future. This is because the young designers on whose shoulders the future rests, and who are greatly influenced by their winning of this award, are very likely to become JAGDA members. In that respect, both those on the judging side and those on the award-receiving end have a weighty responsibility. The judges must have a vision of how JAGDA should be in the future, while those who receive the awards shoulder the responsibility to lead the way toward the graphic design of tomorrow. The zeal they display will inevitably impact the future of graphic design in Japan in no small way. Those who receive the award should view it as being told by their predecessors that they are now destined to be a leader in the world of Japanese graphic design. Through the process of making selections for the New Designer Awards, I felt one thing in particular relating to the candidate works as a whole. This was the feeling that many works approached their theme from an “off-center” perspective rather than straight on. Although one might easily say this is just the way Japanese culture has always been, I wonder if this trend in evidence in the works by designers destined to lead JAGDA into the future is a positive one. Things having an off-center perspective stand out only when there exists a firm center. Somehow it seems that many young graphic designers are intent on targeting the “edges,” leaving the center empty. Or am I alone in feeling this way? Personally, I too feel that works slightly off-center are indeed quite appealing, but my hope is that those who have won the JAGDA New Designer Awards will take this as an opportunity to think once again about what role graphic design should play in society.
Daikoku Daigo
Since Daigo Daikoku’s works garnered the most votes, I think that overall his works conveyed sufficient strength. Spanning a wide spectrum, they show strength in great variety. In particular, the promotional movie demonstrated yet another of Daikoku’s true strengths.
Yui Takada
Yui Takada’s works are all finely detailed and unique. His book designs and small graphics in particular attracted comments of approval at the judging sessions. His meticulous creation of micro-worlds fueled expectations for his artistic future.
Masashi Tentaku
Of Masashi Tentaku’s works, above all it was “KUDAMEMO” that showed off his talents best. His three-dimensional memo pads imitating apples and pears were superb. His talents will surely be applied broadly in the years ahead.
Selection Process
・Among the 233 “new designers” (JAGDA members under age 40 as of October 31, 2010) featured in the 2011 JAGDA Annual, a total of 29 were nominated for JAGDA New Designer Awards. These consisted of entrants with one work garnering 8 of a possible 10 votes in a given category, or two or more works each receiving 6 or more votes. (Because the borderline number of votes needed for selection differed for each category, the Posters category, which had the largest number of entries, was used as the standard and scores were computer-adjusted accordingly.)
・All featured works by the nominees were grouped together by designer, and the 19 members of the General Graphics Selection Committee (one member was unable to attend) undertook the preliminary round of voting, with each member allowed to cast up to 5 votes in total. The voting, carried out anonymously by filling out printed forms, produced a total of nine designers garnering 4 or more votes. The Committee members unanimously decided to narrow the field to these nine finalists.
・In the second round of voting, the Committee members cast up to 3 votes in total, with each selecting the nominees he felt deserving of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Again, voting was indicated on written forms, with the provision that all voting members had to choose a full complement of three proposed winners. This time, a 1st-place vote was worth 3 points, 2nd place 2 points, and 3rd place 1 point.
・This round of voting produced the following results: Daigo Daikoku 24 points / 11 votes, Masashi Tentaku 20 points / 9 votes, Junya Kamada 19 points / 8 votes, Yui Takada 17 points / 8 votes. The Committee members then discussed how best to make their final decision and devised the following method. Concerning Mr. Kamada and Mr. Takada, who had both received 8 votes, the Committee members took a final vote, each member casting 1 vote for either of these two candidates. Mr. Takada received 11 votes and Mr. Kamada 8.
As a result, the 2010 JAGDA New Designer Awards were awarded to Daigo Daikoku, Masashi Tentaku and Yui Takada.
