The Lower Manhattan Expressway (LME) was first conceived by Robert Moses in the late 1930s as an expressway system running across Lower Manhattan. The idea was revisited by architect Paul Rudolph in 1967 when the Ford Foundation commissioned a study of the project. Had it been constructed, this major urban design plan would have transformed New York City's topography and infrastructure. This book presents approximately 30 never-before-seen drawings, prints, and photographs dated from 1967-1972 from the Paul Rudolph Archive at the Library of Congress. Presenting the only records of Rudolph's visionary proposal, this publication illuminates Rudolph's unique approach to architectural drawing and highlights the fundamental importance of drawing in his overall practice. Published on the occasion of The Drawing Center's exhibition Paul Rudolph: Lower Manhattan Expressway, organized in collaboration with The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union, the volume features an essay by Steven Kilian, Ed Rawlings, and Jim Walrod, as well as an illustrated appendix of the reconstructed LOMEX model (2010) and facsimile pages from the film script about the project.
