"Skyscraper-, the design, and development of Worldwide Plaza New York City.
Any Architecture project invariably has problems, aggravations, celebrations, dispositions, and eventually completions; any large scale architecture project has all these same characteristics with the added investment of hundreds of other people, this case in point speaks about the design, development, and ultimately the completion of Worldwide Plaza on the west side of Manhattans business district. .
Worldwide plaza was a very intensive fast track office tower with additional residential tower. This project involved three different players: the Architect, S.O.M. New York City, with David Childes and the Project Architect; the Developer, Zeckendorf developers with Jack Schuster as representative; and the Contractor: HRH Construction N.Y.C. with Dominic Fontie acting as construction manager. There were many interesting viewpoints and examples that were presented throughout the interaction of these three key figures, these examples are what I would like to investigate in this breakdown of the movie, "Skyscraper-.
Worldwide Plaza had many interesting and strenuous variables that came into play during the construction of the complex. There seemed to be three specific variables that stuck out to me that seemed to affect the construction costs, schedule, and building quality, these included the relocation and renovation of local apartments in the area, the fazade work, and the marketing firm of O&M .
The residents of Clinton where this building was going up were quite worried about what was going to happen to their community, what was going to happen to there apartments that they had occupied for so many years. They were also concerned with how they were going to deal with there relocation and weather or not any promises that were said would be kept. This provided a problem for all aspects because this meant dealing with how to house them while work was going on in there apartments, and to keep to the specified agreements.
