Fresh Project: LearningSpring School

C&G Partners — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:11:35 +0000

C&G Partners was hired in 2011 by the Simons Foundation to create a brochure commemorating ten years of the LearningSpring School. This innovation institution was conceived by an active group of parents and volunteers as a place to teach children on the autism spectrum.

The brochure marks the growth of the school from 5 classrooms and 32 children to a New York State-approved Non-Public Special Education Day School. Now housed in a handsome new LEED-certified building by architects Platt Byard Dovell White, they had a tenth birthday worth celebrating.

9/11: Honored to Serve

C&G Partners — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 18:21:34 +0000

C&G Partners is deeply honored to serve the 9/11 Memorial and project team, continuing to help plan wayfinding and signage for the plaza, visitor pavilion and museum. We were moved by the front page of the New York Times on September 11 this year, featuring the latest design for the names commemoration at the memorial, designed by Michael Arad with contributions from Local Projects and data artist Jer Thorp.

The image below is from our project archives: a snapshot of an early prototype that C&G Partners created for the design of the names. Over time, the design has evolved and is now an extraordinary experience. We are honored to have been among those able to help shape this powerful design for generations to come.

Fresh Press: One Bryant Park on Curbed NY

C&G Partners — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:34:46 +0000

One visible new part of the firm’s ongoing signage and wayfinding design project at One Bryant Park recently attracted attention from real estate blog Curbed NY. The write up wryly notes that these “simple letters in stainless steel” not only identify the location of Bank of America’s new HQ on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, but also “remind everyone who’s in charge” and mark “where the money can be found.” Below, some images of part of the work in progress: the main sign in dimensional steel, with the inside surfaces of the letterforms in stark white.

The project, developed by the Durst Organization with collaborating architects Cook+Fox, and led on our side by Partner Keith Helmetag and Associate Partner Amy Siegel, also includes the newly reopened and revamped Stephen Sondheim Theatre (formerly Henry Miller’s Theatre).

This video was prepared for an AIGA/NY lecture just a few weeks ago, but seems even more appropriate to post here during the current playoffs. C&G Partners created the graphics, signage, wayfinding and museum exhibits at the all-new Yankee Stadium in New York City. This short, fast-paced piece shows how the entire design program comes together across the entire Stadium. (Go Yankees!)
