Lincoln Center has transformed its plaza into 'The Green,' an outdoor space meant for lounging, reading, people-watching and playing host to pop-up performances
” launched last month to activate all the campus’s outdoor spaces for performances and rehearsals. The Green will also offer a canteen and a place to check out books from the New York Public Library.
The space’s designer, Mimi Lien, says she was inspired by the work of sociologist and New York University Professor Eric Klinenberg, whose book, “Palaces for the People,” proposes how social infrastructure—from public libraries to churches, parks and other shared spaces—can strengthen civic life. “That kind of thing is very much behind the genesis of this project for me,” said Ms. Lien, a Tony-winning set designer, for “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812,” and MacArthur Fellow.
Ms. Lien said she initially considered real grass, which would require water and upkeep, endure damage and be difficult for the visually impaired or those in wheelchairs. Instead she decided upon synthetic turf: 15,000 square feet of SYNLawn New York’s waterproof, soy-backed artificial grass to cover the area. When the installation closes in September, the lawn will be repurposed for an at-risk-youth facility’s playgrounds in upstate New York.
