Hosted by the New England Chapter
The Miracle on 34th Street
ReThinkPennStationNYC made a submission and presentation to the Empire State Development Corporation’s public hearing process for the Penn Station district in New York City in August of 2020. In it, ReThink illustrated its proposals for a comprehensive transit plan for the tri-state region centered on the rebuilding of the McKim, Mead & White train station and a new Madison Square Garden at Herald Square (along with three other possible locations). Entitled The Miracle on 34th Street, the proposal has generated considerable interest and stands in direct opposition to the overdevelopment of the site by the ESDC, the Governor, and the developer of the site Vornado. Please join ICAA co-founder and partner of design firm Atelier and Company Richard Cameron for a presentation of ReThink’s latest proposals and a summary of the many problems and challenges posed by the ESDC’s current plans.
Richard W. Cameron is the founding partner of the design firm Atelier & Company. He is a co-founder of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. He was educated as an architect at the University of Toronto (B.Arch) and Princeton University (M.Arch). His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Architectural Digest, and numerous other publications.
Mr. Cameron has been involved for 30 years in the effort to Rebuild Penn Station–the advocacy project to replace the current Pennsylvania Station in New York with an adapted recreation of the original masterpiece designed by McKim, Mead, and White, which was demolished between 1963 and 1967.
Mr. Cameron lives in Garrison, New York.
