Designing The Cityscape, Chester Smolski
Designing The Cityscape, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A new structure has recently been erected in the Providence downtown, and criticisms of the building's design continue to fly. An editorial in these newspapers, for example, referred to the 'failed example of quickie construction with a outsized Erector set.'"
Sharing Ideas For A Better City, Chester Smolski
Sharing Ideas For A Better City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was billed as 'Rebuilding the Medium-Sized North American City,' and representatives from nine cities throughout this country and Canada assembled in Providence to discuss ideas, ingredients, processes, and problems related to restoring the physical fabric of the city."
Farewell To The Bucklin Bldg., Chester Smolski
Farewell To The Bucklin Bldg., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"How does one write an obituary for a building? Does one concentrate on its architecture and long history, or does one single out the actors and forces which killed it? The current razing of the Bucklin Building can only bring sadness to the heart and the need to express, in a few, final words, a tribute to a fine and familiar structure."
Downtown Buildings That Link Us To Our Past, Chester Smolski
Downtown Buildings That Link Us To Our Past, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is sickening and it is sad. A building that has withstood the ravages of time throughout its 103 years of life deserves a better fate; yet there it stands, disembowled and broken by the wrecking ball. The Hoppin Homestead Building on the Westminster Mall will soon be only a memory, and its site will be marked by that ubiquitous asphalt reminder of our automobile addicted age--the parking lot. Is this the cure for old buildings in a downtown that is moving on the road to regeneration?"
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A large downtown is normally characterized by tall buildings because demand in this most accessible location is strong, with intensive use of the land being the result. Approaching a city, as one looks off in the distance at the cityscape, one is able to quickly locate the central business district as, for example, one drives south on Route 146 toward Providence. Such is not the case in this serene and lovely, port city of Georgia."
Parallel For Providence To Consider, Chester Smolski
Parallel For Providence To Consider, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They have done it here. The Grand Opera House has nearly been restored and it is now the Deleware State Performing Arts Center. A lively activity center located on the recently opened, pedestrianized Market Street Mall, the Grand is serving as a major focal point in bringing life back to downtown Wilmington."
Saving Valuable Resources, Chester Smolski
Saving Valuable Resources, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"At last, its time has arrived! After years of talking, viewing, writing, and field tripping, someone is finally listening to those select few who saw the architectural, historical, and, today, economic value of saving and restoring our old buildings."
