Explore notable modern and contemporary architecture in the Lincoln Center area with the Municipal Art Society of New York and learn about its history. A unique chapter in the story of urban renewal, Lincoln Center was the nation’s first performing arts complex. Its all-star design team included Harrison & Abramovitz, Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, Gordon Bunshaft and Dan Kiley. Participants will discuss whether contemporary interventions designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Hugh Hardy and others enhance or detract from the original 16-acre campus. The tour will also visit several significant modern schools nearby, including PS199 by Edward Durell Stone. The tour will conclude with the most recent residential developments in the area, some very controversial. Guide John Arbuckle is President of DOCOMOMO US/New York Tri-State and has been involved in Lincoln Center preservation advocacy efforts.
