Project: Alice Tully Hall
Location: New York, New York
Services Performed: Project Manager
Architects: Diller, Scofidio + Renfro/FXFowle
The original opaque walls on the ground level were replaced with a cable-net glass façade, exposing the lobby to passersby. A new cantilevered grandstand outside the building faces the lobby, putting the patrons in the role of performers. Under the cantilever, touchscreens give information about events at Lincoln Center. Inside the hall itself, curving wall surfaces and a partial box-in-box construction combine to block out reverberation from the subway, creating acoustic intimacy. The interior walls of the auditorium consist of a micro-thin wood veneer adhered to 3form resin panels and outfitted with an LED lighting system with individually addressable fixtures. The result is a shadowless, tunable, glowing wall of wood.
