		The "squeaky clean" cool green glass and stainless steel facades of Lever House are appropriate for the headquarters of a soapmaker and in sharp and definitive contrast to its neighbors and superbly mark and highlight a new architectural generation.
		Lever House was also a typical Bauhaus object: freestanding, shiny, weightless, asymmetrical, and fundamentally non-urban.
		Park Avenue was well known before Lever House...as a pleasant place to stay or live, not as the business pinnacle of the world, a contribution made completely by Lever House, a contribution that led to the sustained growth and fantastic redevelopment of midtown Manhattan.

		So we finally made it to the Newson-penned Lever House Restaurant over the weekend, albeit if just for the space of a blood-orange martini (smashing), and I've got some notes to share.
		All of which is to say that Newson has not shirked from the challenge of designing a twenty-first century restaurant for a true twentieth-century classic.
		Although I'll have to spend more time at Lever House, under a decent spread of conditions, for this to be a fair judgment, the Brasserie does almost everything a restaurant needs to do better.

		Lever House was designed for leading American soap manufacturer, Lever Brothers and was intended to project a new corporate identity.
		Loewy's designs for Lever House's subsidiaries, which were located in the individual stories of the building, were created to compliment or correspond with the parent company, but were also designed so each could have its own unique presence.
		The only existing example left is one sign that consists of the words "Lever House" and "Lever Brothers." While the typeface was certainly in Raymond Loewy's style, more research is being conducted to confirm or deny who actually designed the typeface.

		The 20th century produced a handful of houses that deserve to be ranked with the greatest buildings of all time, and the Farnsworth House is one of them.
		I suspect that some part of me thought that for all the hoopla, the Farnsworth House was still just a glass box, a slice of the Seagram Building or one of Mies' other skyscrapers, painted white and dropped in a field beside a river.
		If the Farnsworth House were to be removed and reconstructed somewhere else, which was a real possibility before the National Trust's recent purchase, it would still be a beautiful object, of course, but that is all it would be—a piece of sculpture, not a work of architecture.
