在即将举行的纽约地标性建筑听证会上,由 Philip Johnson 菲利普约翰逊设计的标志性的美国 AT&T 公司正在等待它命运的判决,但它由花岗岩装饰的室内大厅已经开在拆除了。
事实上,在上世纪90年代,这个大厅就已经发生了变化,包括移除“金童”雕像——那是在把该建筑租给索尼公司时,地标保护委员会上个月决定,室内装潢不应具有里程碑式的地位。
在纽约,室内地标性设计的频率远低于外观地标性设计。这座城市目前拥有1,405个独立地标性建筑,但室内地标性装潢只有120个。
LPC研发总监 Kate Lemos McHale 凯特莱莫斯麦克海尔在一封来自LPC到保护主义倡导者 Thomas Collins 托马斯柯林斯的信中解释道,“在我们的评估中,大厅的意义并不相同,“金童”是大厅室内变化的一个关键点,同时它在整体设计中关系偏弱,我们已经确定它不会达到一个室内地标的水平。”
