Photo by myself of Alice Tully Hall, a new building on the Upper West Side, around 66th Street and Broadway.
This very modern building might be difficult to understand in photographs.
Part of a practice room pokes out through the facade on the second floor. On the ground level behind the women, you can see the back side of outdoor stadium seating, facing the building.
At the top of the seating is a spotlight that shines up at the underside of the building above. The designers, Diller Scofidio Renfro, also designed the renovations to The High Line.

Je me note d'aller voir cet immeuble, il semble intéressant. Je t'ai envoyé un email pour savoir si on pouvait se voir quand je serais à NYC avec Marie-Noyale et Lori.
So NY-like. Majestic high-rise buildings. Feeling so little at their foot.
Hi Kitty,
Very interesting building. I have read that it is part of Lincoln Center as a concert hall. Have been there?
Very nice-- the b&w eases the rather chaotic architecture!
Good photo. The black and white show things that we can't see in collor photos. Nice blog in a lovely city.
Regards,

Wow, great photo
I like how you captured the pedestrians out in front. They help put the scene in perspective. I've yet to see this building in person, but I did recognize it from Ken Mac's Greenwich Village Daily Photo. You can check it outhere.
I liked the way the corner juts up just from seeing it in your photo. Knowing that it reflects the function of the space, the angled stadium seating, makes it even cooler.
