1 Chase Manahttan Plaza (aka 16-48 Liberty Street; 26-40 Nassau Street; 28-44 Pine Street; 55-77 William Street), Financial District, Downtown Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States Faced with shimmering panels of natural color and black-enameled aluminum, H-shaped mullions and glass, One Chase Manhattan Plaza is among the largest and most important 20 century skyscrapers in New York City. The project was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (hereafter SOM), with J. Walter Severinghaus as partner in charge, Gordon Bunshaft overseeing the development of the design, and Jacques E. Guiton as lead designer. It was one of the leading architectural firms working in the International Style and had been responsible for such pioneering modern works as Lever House (1950-52) and the Fifth Avenue branch of the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company (1953-54). Chase merged with the Bank of the Manhattan Company in 1955 and the new headquarters was planned to consolidate 8,700 employees under a single roof. David Rockefeller played a leading role in the project; as executive vice president he convinced Chase to remain downtown and hire SOM, resulting in an 813-foot-tall slab-like tower that dramatically altered the skyline and character of the financial district. At that time, few buildings had been constructed downtown since the early 1930s and One Chase Manhattan Plaza signaled a new start for this historic area. Not only did it stand out sharply from its older masonry neighbors, but the planning of the site, incorporating an irregularly shaped 2? acre plaza, established a welcome break from the narrow, twisting streets that characterize much of the neighborhood. Construction started in 1957 and the tower was mostly complete by 1961. The south plaza and basement levels were dedicated in 1964, incorporating a “Sunken Garden” by the sculptor Isamu Noguchi. Resting 16 feet below the plaza, this serene work of art is visible from above and through curved glass windows that separate it from the bank’s main branch located on the concourse level. Architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable praised the design in the New York Times: “These are ambitious structures of character and quality, surrounded by the most expensive urban luxury money can buy – space. In a remarkable duality of purpose, reconcilable only in this commercial age, they aspire to the dual role of company trademark and work of art.” The structure was also described in Architectural Forum as “a milestone, perhaps even an end point in the development of the American skyscraper.” As hoped, One Chase Manhattan Plaza did lay significant groundwork for a downtown renaissance in the 1960s, leading to construction of a succession of corporate towers immediately west, from the Marine Midland Bank Building in 1967, to the World Financial Center complex in 1985-88. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Few buildings have had as significant an impact on the character of lower Manhattan as One Chase Manhattan Plaza. Completed in 1964, it was one of the financial district’s first buildings to boldly reflect the aesthetic and planning strategies of 20 century European modernism, often called the International Style. Rising at the north end of a 2? acre plaza, the 813-foot-tall tower symbolized the bank’s long-standing commitment to the area, leading to the eventual creation of the World Trade Center (1962-73) and the World Financial Center (mid-1980s). Chase Manhattan Bank and David Rockefeller Chase National Bank merged with the Bank of the Manhattan Company in April 1955, making it the second largest financial institution in the nation, with $8 billion in assets and 87 domestic branches. Both shared strong ties to lower Manhattan and had been founded a short distance from the site. The Bank of Manhattan, for instance, first served depositors in 1799 where 40 Wall Street stands today and Chase was founded at 104 Broadway, near Cedar Street, by banker and publisher John Thompson in 1877. Named for Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the U. S. Treasury under President Abraham Lincoln, it grew to become the largest bank in the world by 1930. In the late 1940s, however, National City Bank and the Bank of America National Trust and Savings (later Citibank and Bank of America) surpassed Chase and the New York Times commented that following such success it was not easy for the bank “to take a back seat, much less than stay in it.” Six months following the merger, in November 1955, Chase Manhattan Bank announced plans to erect a new headquarters. John J. McCloy was the bank’s president (1953-55), and later, chairman (195660). Trained as a lawyer, he had been assistant secretary of war under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and headed the World Bank from 1947 to 1949. To supervise the project, in January 1955 he promoted David Rockefeller (b. 1915) to executive vice president for planning and development. Rockefeller had first joined the bank as a manager in 1946.

Marine reef ecologist Scott Porter works to remove oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill off his hands on Monday in the Gulf of Mexico south of Venice, La.. By Elizabeth Weise and Doyle Rice, USA TODAY So how bad could it get? The numbers point to an unprecedented ecological disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico and possibly along the Eastern Seaboard. A cap placed over the leaking BP well in the Gulf of Mexico last Thursday began to capture about half the estimated 25,000 barrels a day flowing into the Gulf by Sunday. But that still leaves 10,000 barrels, or 420,000 gallons, flowing into the open water each day. That amount may be reduced as engineers work to siphon off more oil via the cap. But relief wells that could ease the flow from the leaking line won't be finished for at least two months, meaning that roughly another 25 million gallons could be added to the 24 million to 38 million gallons already fouling water and beaches across thousands of miles of the coast in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. And relief wells won't be a sure thing: They are drilled through 2 miles of rock and sediment to find and tap into the Deepwater Horizon well bore, an oil pipeline measuring about 10 inches across. In the massive Ixtoc 1 spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 1979, it took several tries before the relief drill actually intercepted the original hole. Today, drilling is more a science, but digging a relief well is still like finding needle in a haystack, even though "you have quite a good idea of where the needle is," says Arne Jernelov, a U.N. expert on environmental catastrophe. Now, 50 days after the BP rig in the gulf exploded, the range of scenarios for the toll of the environmental disaster are coming into focus: YOU TELL US: How has the Gulf oil spill affected you? QUADRUPLED: Oil spills escalated in this decade OBAMA: Spill's impact will linger 'HEARTBREAKING': Wildlife deaths show spill is spreading The best case Much of the oil that has floated to the surface now is caught in the Gulf of Mexico's Loop Current, which is pinched off into two large eddies, says Jeffrey Short, a former chemist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) who is Pacific science director for the conservation group Oceana. Because those loops are pinched off from the current, they just keep going around in a circle, not moving down the Florida Panhandle and around to the East Coast. Oil that flows into the Loop Current eddies "is just going to float around in a big circle and not hit land," Short says. "That's a good thing. It will sit in the sun and be hit with wave action," which means the oil collects more water, increasing its viscosity and allowing it to congeal into larger masses, first as "real soft oil mousse and eventually as tar balls." "The longer it spins around in the hot sun of the Gulf of Mexico, the closer it's going to get to tar balls," Short says. The formation of tar balls may not sound like a best-case anything, but it would be. "While they might be a hazard to things that eat them, they're pretty low impact" ecologically, Short says. They're relatively inert and not nearly as toxic as liquid crude, whose highly toxic volatile components will have evaporated. "They're not biodegradable. They don't dissolve in water," Jernelov says. "They're actually like asphalt." After the Ixtoc 1 spill, researchers found that by 1984, "the asphalt-like rocks had crabs crawling over them and oysters settling on them." There is evidence that oil spill sites can recover, given time. A study by Canadian researchers found that 24 years after the 1974 Metula oil spill in the Strait of Magellan in Chile, there was high degradation of oil hydrocarbons, leaving only asphalt-like pieces of weathered oil on the beaches and in the marshes. The spill does not appear to have had a significant effect on the coastal ecosystems, but it's difficult to say for sure because they were not studied significantly before the spill. The fact that the Gulf oil spill is in a warm-water region is helpful because sun and higher temperatures help degrade the oil faster, Jernelov says. But one of the great unknowns of this spill is the amount of oil that's staying underwater and what it's doing there. BP CEO Tony Hayward has tried to play down the underwater effect of the spill by saying that "oil floats." But it doesn't always. In fact, NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco said Tuesday that water tests have confirmed what scientist have reported — the existence of underwater oil plumes from the BP oil spill, though the concentrations are "very low." Oil rising through extremely cold water, at high pressure, mixed with methane and at times with chemical dispersant, creates a "cloud" of millions of tiny oil droplets in the water, Jernelov says. For the subsurface plumes, the best-case scenar
