alice in wondercity
[more diller scofidio +renfro! more in new york]
ds+r are reconstructing alice tully hall.
alice tully hall is a brutalist concert building at 65th and broadway in ny.
it was built 1969 by the architect pietro belluschi. everyone is pretty amazed by nytimes' step by step presentation of the renovation's concept:
this small box projecting out looks so similar to the one used at ica.
they kind of convinced me in the video that it was all about views to the water.
apparently is a form preference. unless this is towards the brazilia type of water plaza, which i doubt.
i am in love though with the lawn plaza:
some interior views:
and night renderings:
the usual quality of graphic renderings once collected by moma!
by the way, how many images did they create?
while i am posting, i find more and more!
originally spotted at lifewithoutbuildings
photos are from here, here and here.

I saw this at the Venice Biennale in 2004. I love the way the floor folds upwards and the dance practice room sticks out. And another small balcony or something hangs over the foyer. I am not fond of the cafe and the lawn plaza though...It just seems too much and it looks kinda steep, you need to walk on it not actually climb, right? There's another plaza by ex-Plot partners exactly like that one. And thanx for the links, I was looking for fotos and kept coming across the same five images...
i kind of agree that the lawn plaza etc, are kind of additional to the whole concept, they could be a whole new project. i don't mind the steepness though ;]
I have the slight impression hat they produced so many images becuase it was easy with the packae they used, sketchup. I really like the extension of the volume so that it can meet the fold together with the slicing!
i agree with you that they used sketchup. although i hate it,i think they pushed the boundary and made it a beautiful tool =]
not as good as their hand renderings/ collages but still pretty nice.
