	Columbus Circle Compass
		In summary, the Columbus Circle Compass would emphasize the circle's historical merit, navigational potential and overall unique character, thus reinforcing the status of Columbus Circle as the epicenter of New York City.
		I have an appreciation for the circle not only because of the renovations that improved it, but also for what it has always represented: It is the center of the city at the center of the world.
		The understated elegance that is the new Columbus Circle is a far cry from its cacophonous former state and leaves little room for improvement.

	Metropolis what goes up; round and round
		During the past 15 or so years, the area to the north of Columbus Circle, extending up Broadway to 72nd Street, has been upzoned, a transformation concealed behind ludicrous palaver about contextualism, as if a 50-story building could somehow be camouflaged by a low base and a few quoins.
		While the projects at Columbus Circle and Riverside South are gigantic, their smallness of vision derives from a much smaller sense of the civic.

		For decades a tiny landmark of steel and stone buildings west of boiling-pot Hell's Kitchen, Columbus Circle has lately argued its case as a full-featured neighborhood.
		Still, viewing the circle from above, especially from the Time Warner Center at night, is a bit breathtaking—much like having your preconceptions shaken up at a predawn party you thought was in Hell's Kitchen.
		If gummy-worm shaped wood-slatted benches at the circle itself that force a lingerer to gaze at the conqueror-on-the-pedestal or face the outer traffic circle aren't appealing, cross the intersection to friendly Central Park.

	felixsalmon.com: — 2 Columbus Circle
		And on the op-ed page, we're subjected to 2,300 barely-coherent words by Tom Wolfe on the subject of 2 Columbus Circle, complete with a note mentioning that this screed is only "the first of two installments".
		The point of the op-ed, one assumes, is for Wolfe to throw his weight behind the preservationists seeking to restore Edward Durell Stone's 2 Columbus Circle and keep it more or less as is, albeit both occupied and safe – neither of which it is at the moment.
		The impending destruction of 2 Columbus Circle is indeed a tragedy of immense proportions.

	New York Architecture Images- 2 Columbus Circle
		Although 2 Columbus Circle is by no means the only source of preservationists’ concern (why else would dozens of groups in communities as varied as St. George in Staten Island and the Upper East Side of Manhattan have leapt to endorse the coalition's report?), it provides a useful case study.
		Two Columbus Circle, the former Gallery of Modern Art built in 1964 to house Huntington Hartford’s art collection, was included along with the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
		Stone was a major figure in American architecture, and his Columbus Circle building, completed in 1965, is among a handful of works that represent a turning point in his career, when he rejected some of the tenets of late Modernism in favor of a more overt historicism.

	2 Columbus Circle Redesign - Wired New York Forum
		Evoking both loom and kiln, the Museum of Arts and Design plans to reclad 2 Columbus Circle — an abandoned work of romantic modernism that has irritated and amused New Yorkers for 39 years — in a scrim of bright terra cotta.
		Holly Hotchner, the museum director, said the choice of a facade made of clay, fired into a warp-and-weft pattern in terra cotta, "speaks to who we are" — an institution concerned with material and craft.
		In my opinion, 2 Columbus Circle marks a milestone in architecture; it was essentially the first instance of deviation from the Internationalist mantra in a major building.

		The building's base on Columbus Circle is a four-story retail mall that is spectacular in size and opulently designed around a four-story-high atrium with a large glass wall facing Central Park South.
		Although Skidmore, Owings and Merrill were at one point rumored to have been selected to design the Coliseum, the job was ultimately awarded to Leon and Lionel Levy, who had been associated with the project since its conception, in consultation with John B. Peterkin, Aymar Embury II and Eggers and Higgins.
		The final design not only lacked the auditorium that such facilities usually have but also the 6,000 fixed balcony seats originally planned to overlook the exhibition hall's main floor, which would have helped it better function for the kinds of large meetings that were often key features of business and political conventions.
