The “Los Angeles Jet Age Terminal Construction Project”, 1961⁠⠀ Paul R. Williams (pictured), with Welton Becket and Pereira & Luckman. (Becket designed a number of spots, including Brown Marble in SF, Pereira is responsible for designs at USC and UC Irvine, but more on those later)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This project formed the basis for the LAX that we know today, including the space age, or “Googie” Theme Building, illustrated by the hand of Paul R. Williams. This design followed the much more aspirational original plan for the airport expansion, also by Pereira and Luckman, which included a single centralized terminal under a glass dome that never materialized, likely for cost reasons (final image).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #losangelesarchitecture #paulrwilliams #williampereira #charlesluckman #lax (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI1IsDcFxoG/?igshid=1xyoylws2kvee

Madison Square Garden- Charles Luckman and Associates- New York- 1968⁠ (and as a result- Penn Station)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "Any city gets what it wants, is willing to pay for, and ultimately deserves."- a @nytimes editorial from the mid-60's lamenting the demolition of the historic Penn Station and the construction of the current MSG.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Architectural historian Vincent Scully once wrote, "One entered the city like a god; one scuttles in now like a rat."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Following worries of the historic Penn Station's high operational and maintenance costs, the Pennsylvania Railroad sold the air rights to developer William Zeckendorf, and subsequently the company Graham-Paige. Plans for Madison Square Garden were announced in 1962. In exchange for the air rights, Pennsylvania Railroad received a brand new, air-conditioned station below ground at no cost, with the added bonus of a 25% stake in MSG.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #nycarchitecture⠀ #charlesluckman⠀ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kbuhOlRcd/?igshid=vm1ljqtsv73z
