As the date of the public opening of the Visitor Center draws near, the press is noting its extraordinary qualities. On Monday, New York’s Justin Davidson heralded the way the Visitor Center embodies “a tight new bond between urban landscape and concrete jungle that can make the city a more civilized place.” Yesterday, New York Times critic Philip Nobel described the project as “a model of the way [architecture and nature] can coexist,” and Gothamist’s Tien Mao posted a gallery of great photos and trumpeted the Visitor Center’s sustainable elements. Stay tuned for more great coverage, coming soon!
