An inspiring looking place to perform, no?
Looks like a really interesting stage, with an amazing built-in backdrop. The water on the right is a reflection of the view in the glass.

A Gary Sloan/iPhone original. These wood seats/steps are facing the water, and behind them on the right is where the museum’s performance space is.
It was smaller in person than I had imagined it from DS+R’s renderings.

After class I had a nice lunch with Mr. Mateo himself. Then I went with my parents to Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s Institute of Contemporary Art on Boston Harbor. Unfortunately it is closed on Mondays

On Lincoln Center
Diller goes through a video rendering of their new designs for Lincoln Center. It looks so fantastic… can’t wait!
Good news for us dancers… There will be a glass footbridge from our rehearsal studio in the Rose Building to the main part of Lincoln Center!
A slide showing how they stripped off the chunky facade of Alice Tully, extended the top part over to echo the shape of Broadway, and then capped it with glass.
The inside of Alice Tully is also getting a makeover. The new sculpted walls inside may look like plain wood, but it is actually a resin, topped with a veneer, so that they can actually make the wood GLOW.
There will also be a restaurant and some crazy-looking video projection stuff on 65th Street, which they are basically turning from a service street into a place that will lure people into Lincoln Center, show people what’s going on inside, and make it a destination… even if you don’t have a ticket to a show.
Gehry + BMW. Nice parking spot huh?
