Lincoln Center roof set for May unveiling

Renderings of the green roof at Lincoln Center

Lincoln Center is about a month away from unveiling its grass rooftop, which will sit atop the arts center’s new high-end restaurant for public use. The $102.5 million structure will welcome gastronomic celebrity chef Jonathan Benno of Per Se fame when the eatery opens in September. The sod-covered roof, designed by Scofidio + Renfro, has spent the last year germinating, so that the grass will have a fighting chance once the public comes for a visit. [Westside Independent]
