Many have drawn comparisons between the 2 Columbus Circle controversy and the historic demolition of Pennsylvania Station. The preservation battle involving 2 Columbus Circle has awoken preservation interests to the continuous threat to historically and architecturally significant structures.
Preservation forces have been reminded that landmarks legislation is only as effective as its implementation, and many have begun to closely consider the losses that have occurred as a result.
In , the New York Preservation Archive Project undertook a documentation project focused on the year, grassroots-led advocacy campaign to preserve 2 Columbus Circle. This project is meant to provide preservationists and future historians with a primary resource to help them identify key elements of the campaign. Much of the focus of this work is aimed at assisting others in extracting lessons for preservation campaigns to come.

Abigail Clayton lives alone. Very alone. In fact, the attractive heiress has not left her Manhattan penthouse apartment for almost two decades. The famous daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Abigail disappeared from the prying eyes of the press and the intrusiveness of her family on her 18th birthday, the day she received her massive inheritance.
During years of self-imposed isolation, Abigail has had contact with only two people-her building's Concierge, Klandermann, with whom she communicates via notes-and Dr. Raymond Fontaine, a longtime family friend and her sole confidant for most of her life. When the death of her elderly neighbor prompts NYPD Homicide Detective Frank Giardello to launch an investigation, the agoraphobic Abigail is distressed to find him outside her door, asking to question her. Having tried to acquire the dead woman's now vacant apartment to ensure her privacy, Abigail is further upset when her requests go unanswered, and new tenants Lillian and Charlie move in.
Abigail anxiously monitors her new neighbors from the safety of her front door's peephole, but her well-ordered world begins to unravel when she finally encounters Lillian and Charlie face-to-face-and her sheltered existence becomes threatened in unexpected and terrifying ways.
An appointment to die for. Crime Drama Mystery Thriller. Rated PG for violence, some language and thematic material. Did you know Edit. Trivia In the scene where Helen's Dr told the detectives she had cancer, he should not have said that. He was correct in asking for a subpoena to release the records, but he shouldn't have gotten that point. Hippa law dictated that, even when a patient has died, their medical history is protected.
So talk to me about the change in mindset as the project rolled out. Kwiatkowski: We started the design right after we signed the lease in We started construction in December of We had a reorganization in so we adjusted the program for that. Kwiatkowski: But our design standards have not changed. Dyson: No, it was more on the operational side. How do you incorporate those personal adjustments? And I think everyone was used to those at 60 Wall Street.
And that was fairly straightforward. Kwiatkowski: Our offices [at Deutsche Bank Center] can quickly flip to a huddle room or a think-tank type environment so you can quickly transition from a private office to a team meeting, with just a reconfiguring of monitor arms. And the tables are adjustable, so that is much more multi-functional. We also changed our technology strategy to laptop, a laptop-based strategy. The expectation was that people would lever personal equipment.
In the case of the pandemic, that was challenging. Much of it is the changed management, and the communications that people feel safe and they understand what we are doing to make sure it is safe to come back. The place is for interactive people. There are plenty of places to meet and interact. The nature of the financial industry gives us an opportunity, we can encourage people to get out more away from their desk.
Dyson: A worker can be proud to bring someone here, versus taking them to a restaurant. Kwiatkowski: We came into this building assuming a hybrid workplace strategy, so we have not needed to change the way we are occupying the building. It was inherent in our design standards to enable mobility and hybrid working.
