Columbus Circle: 1905 to present


Development around the Columbus Circle has often been controversial with a variety of architects, moguls, developers, and politicians making their mark -- Columbus Circle has evolved as a convergence of public use, corporate interests and innovative aesthetics.  Identifying more recent impetus for transition and how the existing community influenced the change will be a component of my research.
