Communications Plant T HE Intematicinal T elephone and Telegraph

Corporation's K ellogg communications divi­sion plant at Corinth was master planned to build at once facilities for the production r equirem ents of the commuuications systems and developmental work n eeded for anticipated product~on needs for ten years. Special flow diagrams were developed . Orderly future expansion on the plot is to rear of the building. Simple dignified design was to b e a coroprate image-type of structnre.

Air conditioning was necessar y for the comfort of production workers, and special humidity con­trol was needed in the coil winding processing and transmitter, receiving and n etwork areas. Dne to the diver sity of proce ses nece sary in the building approximately 85 p ercent of th e build­ing is ailr conditioned. Areas, su ch as molding area, carbon and h eat treat, painting, plating, a well as shipping and receiving, are ventilated with air volume movement complete approxi­mately every six minutes.

General offices for thi division, inc1uding pro­duction and quality contl"Ol, industrial engineer­ing, product engineering, and purchasing and ac­counting were criteria r equirements with a 30 p et·cent expansion desired in this area. This ex­pansion already has taken place. Exhibition of products was requit·ed in the reception lobby. Due to changes in production and addition of new product lines, plans hav~ been developed for an additional 60,000 square feet.

Special m echanical and el ectrical needs for equipment were analyzed in conjunction with equipment plauned, which had been developed by the company, and careful studies were made correlating conveyors, air conditioning, com­pressed air, water , sprinklel·s, gas, et cetera . Spe­cial epoxy floors were developed for the plating areas.

Conversion of the old Times Tower, at 42nd Street & Broadway, into Allied Chemical's showcase for chemical products, has provided on eye-catching spectacle for millions of pass­ersby . The bore steel skeleton stands just as it did in 1904, when the tower was built.

Completion of the Allied Chemical Tower is scheduled for summer , 1965 . The completely renovoted building will feature a three-story exh ibit hall on its lower floors and a two­story restaurant an the 15th und 16th floors . The moving news sign will b~ reinstituted and the traditio!1a! New Year' s Eve boll-lowering ceremony will be r~ttl i ned .

The Name's The Same, But The Face Has Changed

THE more than 16 million out-of-towners who are expected to revisit New York City duri ng

the 1 ~64.-65 World's Fair years will find it a fam ­ilia r but different place than it was during 1 ~39-40

Fair. Approximately 70 million persons are expected

to visit the upcoming Fair during its two Ap ril -to­October seasons and many of them will not have vi sited the city since 1940.

From Times Square outward, the face of the city will have changed and most visitors will be imme­di ately aware of the differences.

Changing the city has been costl y, however. More than six and a quarter billion dollars have been spent 0 11 residenti al and non-residential construc­ti on in Ne w York City since 1946. In 1962 alone, $714,022,000 was spent for construction of new buildings.

" Times Square itself will be strikingly different," says Lehman J. Hostetl er , who is responsible for one of the maj or changes. Mr. Hostetler's job is to direct the conversion of the old Times Tower, fr om which Times Square originally drew its name, into Allied Chemical's Showcase for Chemistry.

" Visitors to Times Square during 1964 will be able to watch the new Allied Chemical Tower being created right over the steel framework of the exist­ing building. By the time the World's Fair reopens in 1<.>65 the tower will be one of the brightest lights on the 'Gay White Way,''' says Mr. Hostetler.

F HOM their li ving room windows, future occu­pants of the new 13-story Prospect House

apartment building, under construction in Arling­ton , Virginia , will view a magnificent panorama of the heart of the na ti on's capitaL Spread be fore them to the east will be the Marine Corps Memo­ri al, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Mo nu­ment, and the dome of the Capitol Building_

The steel framework of the Prospect House takes shope on an Arlington, Va . hillside, commanding a dramatic view of the heart of the nation's capital. Designed by architect Donald Hudson Drayer, AlA, the structure will be the nation's only high-rise, split-level apartment building.

A unique, split- level apartment layo ut and 12-ft.­square picture windows, open the view side o f the building to the morning sun and to the inspirin g scene from a hill side 175 ft. above the Potomac River, on the weste rn axis of the Ma iL The sloping, wooded site, once the home o f Genera l Patton, includes tw o city blocks between Nash and Oak Streets in Arlington.

To take adva ntage of the potential of the site, architect Donald Hudson Drayer , AlA, of Wash­ington , arranged the apartments so tha t as man y as possible wou ld fa ce the ri ver and city below. A typical cente r-corridor plan was discarded, as it would have divided the units equall y between good and poor views. Drayer also decided against the use of conventional eight-ft. ceilings, considerin g them inadequate to properl y di splay the view.

A "skip-split" design evolved , a llowing two levels

AN INSTITUTE

~. m i.;~} _

FOR CHILDREN A COM PLEX set o f problems crea ted by the need for a

surfacing material to withstand ex traordinary ab use yet ab le to lend warm color and pleasant surroundin gs was so lved with modern ceramic tile, according to arch itec ts, Supowitz and Demchick.

The Philadelphia-based firm designed the Irving Sch­wartz Institute for Children and Youth speci fying tile for play and activities areas of the child study center.

Ceramic tile's intrinsic qualities answered both the de­mand for a sturd y, easil y cleaned material and a pleasing and attractive atmosphere for the chil dren, The Mosaic Tile Company, designers and manufacturers o f the tile, pointed out.

Large ti le mura ls are used ex tensively throughout the building, most of them kept at eye level for the yo un gsters' enjo yment.

In the playroom of the entrance level a la rge til e mural uses a carousel as the theme. Vividness of co lo r and com­position gives an apparent swirl and mot ion of reality. Another full wall mural depicts life-size figu res o f ch ildren participating in va rious athletic games. Here, too, motion, movement and balance have been ob tai ned, Mosa ic sa id.

Corridors leading to the classrooms a re faced with tile motives in vario us colors with subj ects o f interest to vari ­ous age gro ups fusing with the surrounding background colors. The Institute concentrates on child stud y of three age g roups. Each group has its own act ivity and play areas.

The entrance fl oor of the split level st ructure leads to a parents' vis iting area, a canteen and octagonal playroom with domed ceiling wh ich extends above the roof. The playroom extends ou t to its own garden a rea.

PAVILION OF SPAIN An Exercise In Architectural Collaboration

T HE Pavilion of Spain, largest official structure of a foreign nation in the international area of

the New York World's Fair, represents an out­standing example of successful collaborative efforts between European and American architects whose mission was to bring about a distinctive building under the demands of a rigorous and widely pub­licized construction deadline.

The basic design by Architect Javier Carvaj al of Madrid was the winning scheme in a national architectural competition conducted by the Covern­ment of Spain when it decided to participate in the Fair. In May 1963, Kelly & Cruzen, architects of New York was given the responsibility to trans­form the original schematic design into detailed drawings so that the requirements of American construction techniques could be met; and also to coordinate and supervise the accelerated construc-

6

tion program. Civen less than a calendar year to produce so complex and intricate a building, in­volving an extensive amount of materials and goods coming from Spain, proved to be a formidable challenge to all technicians and craftsmen and manufacturers involved.

Since the principal feature of the Pavilion's ex­terior is the use of a steel frame with pre-cast con­crete wall panels, Kelly & Cruzen was faced with the immediate challenge of turning out working drawings early enough to allow for steel fabrication and erection as well as for fabrication of the panels so that the building could be enclosed as soon as possible.

More than 20,000 square feet of exterior wall are covered with the pre-cast panels which were cast in double widths and brought to the job for erection.

In addition, Kelly & Cruzen assigned a staff of designers and detailers to work out every feature and item for the complex interior treatment. This involved preparing plans for the fabrication and installation of a wide variety of exhibit displays; selecting and dimensioning materials coming from Spain, such as the Flemish pine wood blocks for the ceilings and the floor tile, as well as those to be supplied or manufactured here. Another major problem was the coordination of the unique light­ing system devised for the displays, developed by an American manufacturer under severe time limi­tations. With the original design dimensioned in the metric system which had to be converted, and with the modifications which were being made con­tinuously as work progressed, the final result re­flects a high calibre of cooperation between many facets of the construction industry.

It was not until mid-January of 1964 that the 80,000 square foot structure was completely en­closed, leaving approximately three months for the complete execution, fabrication and furnishing of the interior with its diverse art and commercial displays, courtyards with major works by contem­porary Spanish artists; and such facilities as two large restaurants, an BOO-seat theater with bar­lounge, and the spacious connecting lounge between the two wings of the Pavilion.

Topping the new Holiday Inn-Downtown is a magnificent Madon-designed revolv­ing restaurant. Patrons get a "magic .. carpet" view of downtown Baltimore while enjoying the gourmet dishes af La Ronde. This first-of-its-kind design is a product of Macton Machinery Company Inc., Stamford, Connecticut.

the fi rst revolving res tauran t of its kin d pre­sen ted a unique cha llenge to architects William W_ Bond, Jr. and Associates, Memphis, Tennessee and Inte ri o r Des igner Cha rles Ha ll of Washington, D_C.

Acco rding to Baltimore architects Bacharack, & Bacha rack, assoc ia te architects, the unique con­cept o f a rota ting ring was chosen in o rder to prov ide the utmost in dining pleasure and enj oy­ment.

The entire dining a rea, which accomm odates 234 persons, is a pla tform which revolves slowly and smoo thl y at a speed of one revolution per houL

The kitchen and service facility remains sta­ti ona ry_ To prov ide maxim um effic iency, a special screened promenade has been erected a roun d thi s kitchen co re so that waitresses can serve La Ronde's go urmet dishes with a minimum number of steps with in the dining a rea _

Similar attention and ca re has been lavished on the elegant deco r of the res taurant. The wood­pla tformed turntable is carpeted in a lush , multi­colored fabric, and the r ich opulence of gold is reRected in upholstered chairs, tablecloths and deli­ca te chine of bl ack, coin gold and white_ Contrast­ing colors of pink, logenberr y, co ral and orange prov ide exci ting accents. Because its eve r-changing view of Baltimore is the focal point of the restau­rant, the magnifi cent p icture windows are ·not fr amed by draperies.

La Ronde might well be compa red to a circular ar t ga llery-its windows a re its pa intings, and the sub j ect ma tter changes constantl y.

Designed and manufactured by Macton Machin ­ery Company, Inc., Stamford, Connecticut, the do ughnut-shaped dining area has an outside dia­meter of 84 feet and an inside diameter of 58 feet. As it travels at the rate of one revo luti on per hour, the movement is so smooth and gradual that diners will undoubtedl y be unaware that they a re moving except fo r the ever-changing picture- window view.

P owered by a one h.p. motor , the turntable is fri cti on-driven (an operation that is simil ar to that of a phonograph turntable). It can be stopped or sta rted by a s imple pushbutton.

Acco rding to D. Bruce J ohnston, president of Macton Machinery Compan y, Inc., the unique new

9

revolving restaurant atop Holiday Inn in Baltimore has already generated much excitemen t. Ph ill ips P etroleum Company's 16-story Pier 66 Tower in Fort Lauderdale, F lorida will feature a revolv ing restaurant on the top Roor. Appropriately 66-feet in outside di ameter wi th a 37-foo t inside diameter, the Macton-designed rotating platform will be in operation when the building is completed in the Spring of 1965. The Pier 66 Tow~r represents a major expansion of the currentl y popular P ier 66 Motel. Mr. Johnston also revealed that several other revolving restaurants are in the design and planning stages.

Macton has participated in many other exciting developmen ts since the company was established in 1C)Lt7. Currentl y, more than 20 leading pavi lions and exhibits at the New York World's Fair rely on Macton turntables to transport people and/ or display products. These incl ude the Electric Power and Light exhibit, Festival of Gas, Clairol, Grey­hound , RCA, F ord Motor Company and the mag­nifi cent Astral fountain .

Other Macton " firsts" include the design and manufacture of a po rtable turn tab le. Trademarked P ort-A-Fold , it has been successfull y " tes t-dr iven" by one of the country's leadinO' automobi le manu­facturers. Advantages of thi s new design include elimination of costl y and time-consuming. a sembly - and disassembl y, ease of transportati on and mini­mum storage requirements. (for additional in for­mati on, see attached news release).

Theatre-goers in Dall as and other parts of the country have watched a drama unfold on an excit­ing 32-foo t diameter Macton revo lving stage at Dall as Thea tre Center, (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright ) .
