The Hypar Pavilion resolves the dual requirements of a destination restaurant and a campus green within the limited open area of Lincoln Center’s North Plaza by stacking the two functions in a single gesture between the reflecting pool and the plaza’s north edge. A twisted plane acts as a contoured ceiling over the restaurant with views to the plaza and street, while its top surface is a publicly accessible green roof of robust grasses. The resulting topography is oriented away from city noise and traffic, toward the Reflecting Pool and central campus. The Hypar Pavilion touches down at one corner of the plaza to provide access into the urban topography, which elevates the public from the hubbub of the city and creates a new form of urban bucolic. The display kitchen beneath puts the theatricality of food preparation center stage in the dining room. Beneath the plaza level of the Hypar Pavilion is the core and shell structure for Film Society’s two screening rooms, a lobby, café, and the prep kitchen for the restaurant, which serves 160 diners and 40 at the bar.
