Ford Foundation Cnter for social justice,New York, Gensler : Classic landmark is turned up for 21st century needs - Vol.207(2), February - New York BNP Media 2019 - 65-69
A little over three years ago when the Ford Foundation’s president, Darren Walker, announced that the headquarters, based in New York, had hired Gensler to bring the 1967 structure into the 21st century, the news prompted a sense of dread. Nothing against the architectural firm, but what might be lost? Designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates (and first published in RECORD in 1968), the granite-clad steel-and-glass 12-story building, wrapped around a 174-foot-high, skylit atrium, was revered as a gracefully elegant exemplar of architecture’s late Modern era.
