Book Talk: Lincoln Center Inside Out

<a href="http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2013/04/10/architectural-explorations-books">On Tuesday, April 9</a>, Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio and Charles Renfro of Diller Scofidio + Renfro along with MoMA's Barry Bergdoll will discuss the redesign of Lincoln Center at the New York Public Library (6-8pm, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, South Court Auditorium). The event is happening on the occasion of a new book, <a href="http://www.damianieditore.com/en-US/product/320"><i>Lincoln Center Inside Out: An Architectural Account</i></a>, published by Damiani.<br /><br /><img alt="lc-nypl1.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/lc-nypl1.jpg" title="Book cover" /><br /><br />From the <a href="http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2013/04/10/architectural-explorations-books">NYPL event page</a>:<br /><blockquote><i>Over the past eight years, the interdisciplinary design studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) transformed the fifty-year-old modernist citadel into a porous and democratic campus. The new monograph </i>Lincoln Center Inside Out: An Architectural Account<i> is the first comprehensive document to feature the extensive redevelopment in its entirety. Through a combination of photographs, drawings, renderings, archival records, texts and interviews the book describes the innovative strategies that have dissolved the public/private divide and effectively turned the campus inside out, extending the spectacle of the performance halls into the Center’s mute public spaces and surrounding streets.</i></blockquote><img alt="lc-nypl2.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/lc-nypl2.jpg" title="Book spread" /><br /><blockquote>Lincoln Center Inside Out<i>, conceived as a cross between an art book, a scholarly record and an architectural diary, is comprised entirely of gatefolds. The book is a series of inside out spreads, in which the exterior pages of each feature large-format photographs by Iwan Baan and Matthew Monteith, among other acclaimed photographers. Tucked behind these lush photos, is a series of “back stories” that reveal the evolution and unexpected afterlife of the same spaces. The book can therefore be read in two ways as a photo essay documenting the construction process and the completed campus, or as a collection of rich and experimental ephemera.</i></blockquote><img alt="lc-nypl3.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/lc-nypl3.jpg" title="Book gatefold" /><br /><blockquote><i>Copies of </i>Lincoln Center Inside Out: An Architectural Account<i> (Damiani) are available for <a href="http://www.nypl.org/events/programs/2013/04/10/architectural-explorations-books">purchase and signing at the event</a> after audience Q&A.</i></blockquote><b>US: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8862082444/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=8862082444&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.com" border="0" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan.gif" /></a> CA: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/8862082444/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=8862082444&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.ca" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-ca.gif" width="90" /></a> UK: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/8862082444/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=8862082444&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.co.uk" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-uk.gif" width="90" /></a></b>
