Founded in 1941, SLCE has continued to set new standards for
producing buildings that inform and enhance urban environments
worldwide. This book delves into the story of this progression
across 75 years, highlighting SLCE's outstanding contribution to
the New York and tri-state area in architectural design and
property development as well as the logistics surrounding
construction.With demonstrated mastery across residential,
mixed-use and commercial developments, as well as healthcare
facilities, restoration and affordable housing, SLCE understands
the full spectrum of urban life and consistently delivers buildings
that answer to the city's complex needs. While seeing each project
through to successful, timely completion, the firm has also
pioneered more efficient, user-friendly amendments to New York
planning law, zoning issues and air rights.In a comprehensive essay
following an introduction by the practice leaders, curator and
writer Thomas Mellins contextualises SLCE's pivotal role in
developing some of New York's most distinguished buildings in
collaboration with internationally renowned practices, including
the Blue Tower with Bernard Tschumi, the Bloomberg Tower with Cesar
Pelli, VIA 57 West with BIG, 520 Park Avenue with Robert AM Stern
and the University Center at The New School with Skidmore, Owings
& Merrill, as well as full-service projects including the
German Mission to the United Nations, Gotham West, the POD Hotel
and ELEMENT.SLCE's complete story unfolds elegantly across three
sections. The book begins with an in-depth look at a curated
selection of SLCE's main projects, followed by a shortlist of
single-page features, and ends with a comprehensive longlist of the
practice's projects. While SLCE s prolific contribution to New York
s built identity and culture cannot be overstated, this is the
first book to fully cover the extent of this 75-year practice.
