Center planners, directed by Architects Kevin Roche and John Dinkeloo, have obviously made a hard assessment of existing cultural complexes and learned from what has been done elsewhere. There will not be any "Mussolini Modern" jokes about Denver. No extra dollars have been spent on grandiose exteriors. "Poor old Lincoln Center," says Roche. "Many arts organizations cannot afford the operating costs of large, monumental buildings...
...separate wing of the Metropolitan; that they should never be absorbed into the bulk of the Met's collections; and that the old masters should be hung in replicas of the rooms in the Lehman town house in New York. In 1969 Kevin Roche and John Dinkeloo Associates, using money given by Lehman, produced a plan not only for the new wing, but for the redesign of one entire side of the Metropolitan...
...ritual objects meant to serve the dead man in his next life, immured at the center of a transparent pyramid. Only a mummy is absent, but the eye of an irreverent visitor may easily stray to the center of the sunken atrium, half expecting to see a sarcophagus. Roche-Dinkeloo's design is elegant, icy and inflated. Lehman agreed that the new wing should have almost the same proportions as the Met's Great Hall - thus ensuring a large abstract monument to himself - but he also wanted to commemorate his way of life with the period rooms. Unfortunately...
...student campus for Rochester Institute of Technology was designed by five different architectural firms with mixed .results. At one end of the scale, some of the buildings look like neo-Dickensian piles of brick. But the campus is saved from mediocrity by Architects Kevin Roche & John Dinkeloo. Charged with the design of five buildings, including a student union and facilities for physical education, they began by recognizing the harsh climate. In Rochester in winter, it is cold outside. What might have been two distinct buildings for the student union and physical ed were joined to form a single, continuous warm...
Problems and Possibilities. Architects Kevin Roche and John Dinkeloo spent over two years discussing problems and possibilities with museum officials. Their plan calls for two new wings to be built over existing parking lots at the north and south ends of the building to house the Temple of Dendur and Rockefeller's primitives. A smaller, tent-shaped pavilion at the back of the present Medieval Hall is planned for the Lehman collection. Two glass-enclosed all-weather gardens will give access to the galleries from Central Park...
