Lincoln Center

Arriving at the Lincoln Center in New York City was a great sight to see. The surrounding modern architecture buildings housing opera, dance, and music with a huge fountain in the center that caught the eye of every passer by seemed like a very nice place to spend your afternoons if you have retired or won the lottery. Lincoln Center was developed in the 1950's to 1960's which forced out about 7,000 families. The development that was under control by John D. Rockefeller was New York City's great developments to bring a arts and entertainment central to New York. Lincoln Center is also located right by the world renowned Julliard School. The Lincoln Center brings many people in from New York City itself and the surrounding areas to help feed the economy of New York.
The Design of the Lincoln center comes into question with the very large plaza that could go well in a more populated and active area. Also, with this large plaza it could become a space that could be more energized with shopping and restaurants that could take up some of the lower retail around the area. I feel that the overall design of the buildings a well done with large modern columns and a large built in overhang to give pedestrians a place to go if it rains. All in all the Lincoln Center does a great job in bringing the best talent to New York City and help New York City stay on top financially.
