爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The time now came when Bok could demonstrate the willingness of his own publishing company to do what it could to elevate the public taste in art. With the increasing circulation of The Ladies' Home Journal and of The Saturday Evening Post the business of the company had grown to such dimensions that in 1908 plans for a new building were started. For purposes of air and light the vicinity of Independence Square was selected. Mr. Curtis purchased an entire city block facing the square, and the present huge but beautiful publication building was conceived.

白话
现在博克有机会证明自己的出版公司愿意为提升公众艺术品味出力。随着《妇女家庭杂志》和《星期六晚邮报》发行量增长,公司业务扩大,1908年开始计划新建大楼。为了采光和通风,选址独立广场附近。柯蒂斯先生买下面对广场的整个街区,构思了如今庞大而美丽的出版大楼。核心是:企业成功后可投资于公共文化。做法是:选址兼顾功能与形象,建筑本身成为品味示范。取舍是:投入巨大,但长远提升品牌和城市环境。
