Alice Tully is beginning to emerge from its cocoon and is starting to look like the DS+R renderings!

This may be a little off topic, but we had one of our meetings in the Lincoln Center construction trailer outside the theatre (it was Gala day so space was harder to come by) and they had this printout hanging on the wall.
Too funny/sad not to share…

The meeting room in the LC construction trailer in the sky (on stilts). Lots of amazing architectural drawings of Lincoln Center plans all over the place.
It also rocks with the wind… kind of like being on a boat. But not.

…There is no fountain. I love the decal of the future fountain
though. Kind of funny.

Taken through a little hole in the plywood barricade… They’re in the midst of tearing up the roadway that passes in front of Lincoln Center so they can put it underground.

Bye bye old fountain!
For some reason I feel a little attached to the older pieces of Lincoln Center that are getting traded out for the new. Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t be more excited that the complex is getting a beautiful redesign/face-lift, but having spent the past 13 years of my life walking through this place, and thinking about the history of what’s happened here before me…
I think about 7 years ago (maybe?) they took out the darker colored granite of Josie Robertson plaza (where the fountain is) and replaced it with concrete. The jack-hammered site was completely open, with granite chunks like Oreo cookie crumbles scattered all over the place. I reached down, picked up a little chunk, and it’s been in my theater case ever since.
A bird’s eye view of the Promenade of our theater. If you get the chance, try to come early for a show to go up to the various levels of the photo exhibit. It’s really interesting!
