Summary
[edit]DescriptionPine Harbor Apartments, Buffalo, New York - 20200804 - 01.jpg |
English: Pine Harbor Apartments, 10 7th Street, Buffalo, New York, August 2020. This was only a small portion of architect Paul Rudolph's grandiose "Brutalist vision for the Buffalo waterfront", which also included the Shoreline Apartments on the other side of 7th Street and a series of never-built, roughly triangular high-rise towers that were supposed to abut the inland side of the then-newly built Erie Basin Marina, where the Waterfront Village condos are found today. At the time, the plan was considered high-concept enough to be featured in a 1970-71 MoMA exhibit entitled Work in Progress, but despite these auspicious beginnings, the ensuing years weren't kind to Rudolph's creation: his designs in general were quickly developing a reputation as being prone to water leaks, which in the case of the Pine Harbor Apartments, the perennially cash-strapped New York State Urban Development Corporation was ill-equipped to fix. Moreover, as the neighborhood began to fall victim to crime and social ills, affordable housing developments like these were easy scapegoats in the blame game. In 2019 and 2020, despite loud objections from the newly minted crop of Brutalism fans among Buffalo's preservationist community, the Shoreline Apartments across the street fell to the wrecking ball, soon to be replaced with suburban-style townhouses, leaving Pine Harbor standing alone as a testament to the all-too-brief Brutalist era in Lower West Side history. Even so, from looking closely at what remains, you can get a sense of the original site plan: one- and two-story buildings that look nothing if not chiseled out of concrete boulders, sporting vertically ribbed "corduroy" façades and projecting balconies, arranged in chains interwoven together with seemingly serendipitous patches of green space in between, the Pine Harbor Apartments "combine[d] Rudolph's spatial radicalism with experiments in human-scaled, low-rise, high-density housing development", to borrow the words of local architect and Brutalism aficionado Barbara Campagna. |
