Background info on zoning

This email just came in:

Dear all,

In time for our upcoming Zoning the City conference, we’ve published a DCP History Project website.  You can find it now at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/history_project/index.shtml.   While we’ll be adding various planning documents to the site in the coming months, you can currently find our scanned and searchable collection of materials related to the 1961 Zoning Resolution.

Also in the historical vein, as many of you may have noticed, a new library is now under construction in the 4^th Floor lobby. Feel free to take a look at what’s up there, but please don’t remove anything as cataloguing is still in process.  I’ll send another update around when the full list of documents has been organized and finalized.  In the meantime, if you’ve got materials around your office that are possibly of historical interest, send me an email to discuss.

Beste team,

Op Woensdag 1/6/2011 houden we een startvergadering om 14u over de thesis studio Brooklyn, zelfde plek als vorige keer, tekenzaal Masters.
We weten dat niet iedereen aanwezig kan zijn, maar op deze manier kunnen we een aantal praktische dingen reeds beginnen uit te werken.

Na jullie examens zullen we dan een tweede brainstorm vergadering plannen.

Op de agenda voor woensdag staan:
- praktische afspraken reis new york
- prakttische afspraken verdeling voorbereidend werk
- opstellen kallender voor komende 12 maanden
- eerste overleg eigen thesis accent: maior en minor thema (voor wie hier reeds ideëen over heeft)

Wie er niet kan bij zijn, mag ons altijd opmerkingen per email doorgeven.
Vooral de data-beschikbaarheid voor eind juni/begin juli is hier belangrijk. De tweede brainstorm willen we voltallig kunnen doen.


Groeten,
Tom en Ward
