Proposed 140 Broadway Plan Threatens Noguchi’s “Red Cube”

Last week, The Tribeca Trib reported that the owners of 140 Broadway, a historic building across the street from Zuccotti Park, seek to renovate their public plaza. Although the article focused on the plan’s possible effects on the neighborhood’s street vendors, The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) found something else at risk: the integrity of the architecture of the space itself. Earlier this week, TCLF added 140 Broadway to its list of At-Risk sites “threatened and at-risk due to deferred maintenance and/or neglect, or for substantial alteration or outright destruction.”
