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?

Today is a big day of conferences for me.
I’m on my way to a lecture by Ric Scofidio and Liz Diller of >Diller Scofidio + Renfro about the design of the High Line project, at the new IAC building by Frank Gehry on the West Side Highway.
I pass this building on my way to Lincoln Center, and at first (while it was being built) I wasn’t so sure about it. But now that it’s done, it’s pretty amazing… Quite a bit distracting when you are trying to navigate West Side Highway traffic.
Here’s a shot of it at night. It looks incredible, and they always have ALL the lights on. I sure hope they are fluorescents.
