The Challenge
Now, mOl"e than at any time in histor y, we are chal-
lenged to produce better a l"chitecture. This is so fOl' several
,'easons.

We li ve in t he richest country in the world and a meas-

ur e of its weal t h is enjoyed by most of its people rathe l'
t han being concent rated in the hands of a few, Most people
become owners of architectu r e at some time during their
lives.

We have more people a l'chitecturally train ed t han ever

before. The arch itect is as readily available to the mass of
the people today as the doctor, dentist, and lawyeL

We enjoy t he advantage of a technology that has ad-

vanced further in t hi s century than in the pr evious twenty .
Until a cent Ul'Y ago, a r chitecture fully exploi ted the tech-
nological possibili ties of its time. So many concepts, meth-
ods, and materials are now available that we ha l·d l.v scratch
t he surface of possibilities.

Good architecture should make a visual contl"i bution to

our phys ical environment in addition to ser ving its useful
pUl"})ose. Too often we place all of the emphasis on immedi-
ate usefulness and economy without giving enough con-
si deration to the fact that buildings en dure long after these
conside l·ations have ceased to be important. We cannot af-
ford obsolete architectUl·e.

The challenge, then, is for owner, arch itect, and contrac-

tor to build well in order t hat our contribu tion to the tot.ll
architecture in which we live and work w ill serve societ:,-'
well for gener ations to come.

Two main objectives in the design were the

t rance and t he cont rol of sun light from a
wester n exposu re.
The old porch floor and foundation walls
wer e r emoved and a concrete fl oor pou l·ed on
grade thirty inches below t he ex isting fl oor

the existing foundation. In addition to pro-
viding west window shading, the scree n wall
serves also as a major design element.
Brick from t he foundation also provided a
scr een wall enclosing a small cou rt off the fu-
hire confer ence room. This wall helps screen
the existing house from view. Wi t h the addi-
tion of a small canopy at the entrance the
ex isting roof was kept intl1ct. Decorative
panels were suspended to disguise the existing
pOl"ch ceiling.
Cost of the project was approximately
$3,000.00 with much of the actual \Vo l'k being
don e by the architect.

W ITH TilE COMI'U;TION of its unique S4 milli on
resea rch headquarters ill Elkhart, Indiana,
:\1iles Labora lories, Inc. has implemented an "open
areas" plan o f operation that will sci the pace for
lahoratories of the fu ture.
T he new In diana bui ld ing is a two.story, U·shaped
structu re which houses the laboratories and offices
o f more than 200 scienti sts, technicians and admin·
istra tors.
" The bu ilding was designed for ph armaceutical
research," said Dr. Walter A. Compton, executive
vice president. " We needed a laborator y which was
pleasa nt and nexible enou gh to adapt to the chang.
ing, more demanding needs of the indu stry. The
archi tects worked wi th our tec hn ical stafT in design.
ing and erecting what we feel is one of the a u I ·
o;t an(ling research fa ci lities ill the nation."
Laborat orit's in the 115,000 S(luare font bui l(ling
a re located ill two 2%·foot wings which meet at
the base of the U·shape where Ihe administrative
oflices are located.
Nota hl y outsta nding are Ihe work hays ami labo·
rat ory areas which open ofT wide corridors along
the inner court to gi \'e a free, even fl ow of activity
throughout the wings.
These var ious work areas contain all duct, pi pe
and service lines for ease of control and economical
modification for future changes. A special air con.
dition ing, heating and \'entilating system prevents
the traveli ng of dusf or odo rs.
The new labor at or}' is the headquarters of Miles'
international research network which includes the
complex of other company fa cilit ies in Elkhart.

Will Be Called
United States Plywood Building
38·STO RY SKY SCRA I'EIt now under cOll s lru c ti o n
A at 777 Third Avenue will be the new head·
quarters for United Siaies Plywood Co rporation,
S. W. Antoville. chai rman of the board, announced .
The new building will be named the Uni ted States
Plywood Building.
The compan )', which man ufactures a wide range
o f building materials under the Weld wood trade-
mark, will lease fi ve /lOO f S in the build ing with a
lotal floor space of more than 100,000 square feet
plus a substantial ground fl oor display space a l the
northwest corner o f the building al Third thenue
and 49th Street
Architect William Lescaze, F.A.I.A. has incor·
porated a number of design inllovations in the
building ill line .with the new zoning resolutions
approved by the City of New York in December,
1961. The building rises 38 fl oors with II single
setback placed above the 12th fl oor to house the
building's mechanical equipment. A terraced fl oor
emphasizes this setback.
A 12,OOO.squarc-fool open plaza, also made pos-
sible by the new zoning code, surrounds the build-
ing. Skin for the building is anod ized alum inum
combined with g rey.ti nted glass.
Mr. Lescaze-s design played a maj or role in the
compan y's move, according to Mr. Antoville who
led a fi ve-year sea rch for a new headquarters.
"The new U.S. Plywood Building, in the design
and architecture center o f the city, will be a struc·
lu re wilh the architectural prestige we were looking
fo r to rep resent our company," sa id Mr. Antoville.
" The building, moreover, allows ample space J or
expansion as our business increases."
U.S. Plywood has owned a headquarters building
at 55 West 44th "Street since 1945 and now occupies
additional space in two neighboring buildings. The
company, o rganized in 191 9, o riginall y was located
in lower Man hauan where it occupied a total of
2,500 square feet.

New Jersey Synagogue

PNew
1::RCIVAL GOODMAN and J. Stanley Goldstein of
York City, architects fo r Temple Beth Ahm
in Spri ngfield, N. J., express the J ewish love of
God's work as seen in nature through thei r design
of this low silhouetted temple with simple brickwork
and exposed wood, sloping roofs and sheltering
eaves.
Inside and out, the theme of simple and natural
materials simply and naturally expressed reinforces
this idea.
For the exterior, there is a suggestion of the Ten
Commandements with a pedestal and Menorah with
the inscription from the prophet Micah, "To do
justice, 10 love kindness, and to walk humbly with
thy God."
Planning of the interior is the simplest possible.
Plan requirements of the synagogue were threefold

- the House of Prayer, the House of Assembly, and
the House of Learning.
The House of Prayer is dominant. It rises at thc
center and has an elaborately worked parochet in
the colors described for the desert tabernacle. Abo\'e
hangs the sculptured aluminum Ner Tamid, or
eternal light. To olle side is a similarly scul ptured
seven·branched Menorah. The Ark is at the tradi·
tional eastern elld. Through the edifice, colors and
materials combine to give an almost Mediterranean
richness, yet retain a quiet dignity.
Part of this richness and dignity is affected
through use of 250 square yards of C. H. Masland
& Sons carpet selected for the House of Prayer. It is
Masland's "Super Fernbrook," all all· wool, high.
looped pite velvet in melon color. Installation of the
carpet was by Hannon's of Newark, N. J.

 Distribution Center For
MAX FACTOR
M AX FACTOR'S new mid-western distribution cen-
ter in Des Pla ines. Illinois was expressly de-
signed to convey the distinctive and colorful Cali-
fornia theme that has become synon ymous with the
compan y's modern corporate image.
Having pioneered the make-up fashion appeal of
the fresh , sunlit color influence of the golden state,
Max Factor & Co. wanted to carry out this Cali-
fornia symbol in the design of their new distribu-
tion fac ility, even though it is located some 2,000
miles from the firm's headquarters in Los Angeles.
The one-story contemporary-modern structure,
which includes office, warehousing, and shipping
facilities, covers approximately 180,000 square feet
and was erected on a 20-acre site at Touhy Avenue
and Mannheim Boulevard, near the O' Hare Inter-
national Airport.
Combining showplace attractiveness with a highl y
fun cti onal design, the large multi-colored Class 1
fireproof building was constructed mainly of steel,
concrete, glazed brick, and glas.s, and utilizes the

most modern sys.tems of lighting, heating, and air
condition,
The aUractive exterior of the office building is
enclosed in blue glazed brick and sola r grey glass,
and the warehouse \,\'as fini shed in a neutral gray-
bei ge brick. Addin g to the design are al uminum
fram ed glass doors and windows, a protective and
decorative roof deck extending over the entrance
area, and Max Factor name signs on two front
sections of the building,
Interi or fini shing of the office, warehousing, and
shipping areas was created with a maximum use of
color to fulfil! a functi onal as well as deco rative
purpose, The distincti\;e Californ ia motif is dramat-
icall y rellected in the unique sun-lit color scheme,
which also serves to define va rious depa rtments in
lieu of dividing walls or partitions, thereby main-
taining a more spacious effect throughout the build-
ing.
In the office building, which consists primaril y

of a large general office area, pri vate-offices, and
two conference rooms, a mon ochromatic color
scheme of beiges, off-whiles, and neutrals was used
for the walls and floors so that an abundance of
color cou ld be effectively ca rried out in the decor
of Ihe furni shings.
This section is di\·ided by a row of fil es which
are gold in color to match the accent color of the
building. 011 one side is Ihe Order Department ,
which has been furni shed wi lh platinulIl gray desks
and blue upholste red c hairs. Desks on Ihe opposite
side are " princess blue" with gray tops, and the
chairs are upholstered ill black.
Adjacent to the general office area, and just out·
side the private offices, is a row of secretarial desks
ill charcoal black with Iloscwood " Hila·Tex" tops
and chairs upholstered in bright red.
Wood desks were used in all private ofli ces. Teak
was selectal fo r those in the offi ces of the manager
and divisional Sales Manager, and o iled walnut

scheme also was crea ta l for the walls an(l carpeting
to provide a neutral backg round for furnis hings of
bold hues. Four color schemes were utilized for
