The Shell takes shape

Central Park Bandshell Construction Update

The Central Park Bandshell took a big leap forward yesterday when the crane arrived to install the ironwork. The entire back wall will be glass, making the bandshell inviting from both sides. The roof shape is designed to create a better acoustical environment. The rendering on the bottom image is the architectural orthographic projection.

And just to clarify, the actual audience will not be semi-transparent. 😊
