For a very unexpected reason I found myself spending the morning on the Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s  High Line and the afternoon in the Lincoln Center Julliard School. It occurred to me that what DS+R is very good at is stitching together and re-crafting existing urban space. The result is a series of circulation slivers, stairs as benches and benches as stairs and a photographic mural with all of Shakespeare’s works on a curtain. They are so bloody smart.
