Alice Tully Hall and Juilliard School in New York
With its 22 performance venues large and small, the Lincoln Center in New York is a cultural Mecca. No fewer than 12 institutions, including the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic, share a location that was developed in the 1960s in what was then a rough and not very attractive part of the city. Travertine facades and a peripheral plinth convey a stylistic impression of classicism in modernism. Among the architects to design the individual buildings were Gordon Bunshaft (SOM), Philip Johnson and Eero Saarinen.
