C AST CONCRETE is now cast in a new role as ahighly sophisticated an d flexible ar t form forbuilding ornamentation.
Arts for Architecture, In c ., ha s adapted this material into three-dimensional squares of sculptureddesigns which can be joined together to crea tesculptured wall facings for exterior an d interiorbuilding walls.
Each square is a different design bu t all utilizea basic 12" x 12" module. This makes it possiblefo r architects an d designers to interrelate , arrangean d rearrange these modules to create wall facingsof their own patterns an d to any height an d lengthdesired _
Th e designs ar e inspired by stone carvings ofancient Yucatan , Mayan, Gothic an d South Seasorigin. James Seeman, president of Arts for Architecture, Inc., who is both artist an d engineer, unitedthese talents to adapt the basic design elements ofthe ancient stone sculptures within modern-day
Cast Concrete Tra nsformedInto Modules Of Design
For Building Ornamentation
Full wall of sculptured stone gives stun-ning impact to lobby of famous AmericanaHotel in Miami Beach. The de si gn s ar eauthentic adaptat ions of stone carvingsfrom ancien t Mexican cultures.
Indoor swimming pool enhanced into unusual originality an d elegence with asweeping wall of sculptured stone. Blocksm ay be arranged an d interrelated in un-limited choice of pattern designs .
modular concept.Special paper patterns ar e made available for
architects an d designers who can then shift themabout, much like cutouts, to work ou t their ownarrangements.
In the lobby of the famous Americana Hotel inMiami Beach, the use of an Arts for Architecturewall in Mayan an d Aztec designs, achieves stunningeffect in this important public area. An d in NewYork an d elsewhere, sculptured walls appear as
facades across the entire exteriors of office buildings .
In addition to hi s own design creations, James
3
Seeman also commissions outstanding artists of theworld .
Fo r example, "Taniko," a stone mural co nsist ingof individually designed squares whose inspirationderives from the ar t of the South Sea Islands , isthe work of Mr. Perli Pelzig , in t ernationally knownar tist. Among other honors, Mr. Pelzi g holds theAmerican Institute of Architects Gold Medal.
"Sculptured wa lls ," notes Mr. Seeman , " havebeen a major ar t express ion in every highl y civ i
lized society and, in fact , ar e an essential co mplement to the ge ner al austerity of contemporary architecture an d design."

There ar e obvious economies in using internalheat already purchased in the form of lighting (andbu siness machine energy, too) to heat the building_Such a heatin g system makes all-electric buildingsmore practica l because it invol ves only modification of the ai r co nditioning system_ No boilers andinherent plumbing and stacks are required_

Aerospace Electromagnetic Laboratory
A NE W ele ctroma gnetic labor a tory to dev elop antennas an d components for advanced space
an d aircraft communication-detection sys tems willbe in operation b y December , the Lockheed-California Company ha s announced_
Based on a Lockheed concept, the electromagneticbuilding was designed by Albert C Martin an dAssociates of Los Angeles, planners, archite cts an d
engineers. Raymond Flanders is Martin's projectmanager for the structure.
It is believed the laborator y an d its antenna pattern ranges, when fully developed at a later date ,will equal or surpass any known in th e free world.
Construction is well under way on the two -storybuildin g in Lockhe ed' s Rye Canyon Research Center near Saugus, 26 miles north of the company'smain Burbank plant.
Lockheed engineers note the $75 0,000 laborator yan d attached open radiating ra n ges will save thousands of fli ght hours that would be otherwise neces
sary in evaluating new radio, radar , counter -measure , navigation , an d telemetry antenna systems.
Th e electromagnetic laborator y will continue to
8
broaden its capabi lities to meet future space agerequirements, said J. B. WassaIl , Lockheed-California Company director of engineering .
Extending spoke-like from the cylin drical sectionof the buildin g will be four antenna ranges - ISOfeet to a quarter-mile lon g - e q uipp ed with rails an dmovable towers. Four more outdoor ranges an d anindoor anechoic (radia tion -absorbing) range ar e
scheduled in the future.Aircraft an d space vehicle models will be mounted
on the 25-foot tall tow ers that will travel the lengthof the ra n ge tracks.
Engineers in the buildin g will be able t o rotat ethe tower an d position the model via remote co n-trol durin g tests.
Radio waves will be beamed from the transmitting antenna in the building to the receiving model.Th e signals will return to re co r ding and data pr o cessing conso les in the laboratory for radiation pa ttern analysis and "echo area" measurements .
To insure accurate readin p:s, the scale m o d e l ~ fill be ne ar-exact duplicates of present or plann edaircraft an d spacecraft or their c o m p o n el l t~ .

A 47-YEAR OL D storage warehouse was recentlytransformed into a modern classroom buildingfor students at Drexel Institute of Technology inPhiladelphia. Vermont marble, used extensively fo rboth exterior an d interiol- applications, con tributesto th e overall design which was executed by th earchitectural firm of Supowitz an d Demchick,A.I.A., of Philadelphia.
Th e first step in this extensive renovation wasinitiated well over a year ag o when exterior wallswere stripped to make way fo r a mo d er n fa cade ofmarble and glass. Followin g this pr o ce dure , th eapplication of Vermont Li ght Danb marbl e wasbegun on wall panels as well as on imposin g cornerwalls.
