Archtober Building of the Day Preview: David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center

As part of NYCxDESIGN, the Center for Architecture will host an Archtober preview featuring three building tours the week of May 22. Join us on Friday, May 26 for a tour of David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.

David Geffen Hall, home to the New York Philharmonic, was originally designed by architect Max Abramovitz and opened in 1962. Over the years, the building has suffered several acoustic challenges and the inefficiency of its public spaces had become evident. In 2022, Diamond Schmitt, designers of the concert hall, and Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners, designers of the public spaces, completed a holistic renovation that vastly improved the acoustics to befit the Philharmonic and injected new life into the prominent venue.
