The re-made Alice Tully Hall, with a sharp new design from Diller Scofidio & Renfro, opens at Lincoln Center on Sunday, and Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff has a rave for it today: "The womblike performance space, its surfaces flush with new life, makes it hard to remember the dreariness of the 1969 original...With the precision of surgeons, they cut out ugly tumors and open up clogged arteries. In doing so, they suggest a way forward for a city in which preservation is all too often a form of embalmment." [NYT, previously]
