Performing Arts Center Bard College, Red Hook New York

Frank Gehry designed the Richard B. Fisher performing arts center for Bard College. It opened in 2003. Gehry’s typical flowing roof of stainless steel panels reflect the green surroundings, establishing an exciting space in the New York environment.

The theater itself takes on a motif of concave columns. Operable windows and large windows allows natural air and sunlight into rehearsal and lobby space. The surroundings seem to take materialistic form in this building, contorting creatively, and finally revealing the source of this change: the stage.
