Boxy to Bold: A Concert Hall Busts Out
NICOLAI OUROUSSOFF
New Yorkers have been understandably impatient about the slow pace of Lincoln Center’s renovation plans.
While musical institutions from Los Angeles to Copenhagen whipped out dazzling new concert halls,

to cover Lincoln Center’s central plaza with a gigantic glass canopy stirred such outrage
among constituents that it was shelved in 2001.
