David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center improves the entire concert-going experience with new public offerings and a state-of-the art concert theatre to serve as the home of the New York Philharmonic. What was once a building with tangled common spaces and an acoustically challenged hall, is now a living instrument. With flexible spaces for performance, a material palette imbued with warmth, and an entirely reconstructed hall emphasizing audience connection and resonant acoustics, the building brings a new energy to Lincoln Center’s Campus—all while respecting its iconic exterior.

Jury Comments

“This project brings one of the world’s great historic venues in New York City back to life with incredible technical excellence. Keeping the existing shell of the building, the architects have reimagined the performance space to create better public engagement throughout, with the highest standards of design, acoustics, and performance quality.”
