Ian Schrager.


Last year, Ian Schrager Ian Schrager is a hotelier and real-estate developer. Schrager began his career as a nightclub owner. In 1977 he partnered with Steve Rubell, his fraternity brother from Syracuse University, in launching the New York City discothèque Studio 54.  told the Young Men's/Women's Real Estate Association, "Every time I do a hotel project, I go and look for another architect, but I can never find one that gets me excited - as excited as I get with Philipe [Staarck]. But if somebody caught. my eye, and I thought they were really interesting, somebody brilliant, somebody I could see that little twinkle in the eye, and they could come up with something fresh and original, I wouldn't hesitate to use them."

We guess he found some twinkle in Rem [Latin, In the thing itself.] A lawsuit against an item of property, not against a person (in personam).

An action in rem is a proceeding that takes no notice of the owner of the property but determines rights in the property that are conclusive against all the
 Koolhaus, Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.

Needing to make an architectural splash at Astor Place, area panhandlers say Cooper Union and Schrager have settled on those architects as the design team for a new hotel. The approximately 100,000 square-footer is scheduled to be constructed by Related Companies on the parking lot where Eighth Street and St. Mark's St. Mark's could refer to:
  • St. Mark's Basilica – Venice, Italy

  • St Mark's Church in-the-Bowery in Manhattan

Koolhaus, a creative Dutch architect, has been asked to collaborate with the Swiss duo's firm, Herzog & de Meuron. A few years ago, Koolhaus released an urban design book called "Delirious de·lir·i·ous

," that in part described an imaginary Hotel Sphinx sphinx (sfĭngks), mythical beast of ancient Egypt, frequently symbolizing the pharaoh as an incarnation of the sun god Ra. The sphinx was represented in sculpture usually in a recumbent position with the head of a man and the body of a lion,  for Times Square, and he recently worked with Richard Gluckman to renovate the old bank space at Eighth Avenue and 43rd Street for the Second Stage Theater. In the U.S., Herzog & de Meuron worked on a stone winery in California.

As Cooper Union provides full scholarships for its students, it will not sell but merely lease the site for 99 years, receiving $9.6 million in rent, nearly all up-front. The remaining $98 will be ceremonially paid at $1 a year.

The architects have until April to come up with two proposals. Stay tuned..
