Style Aisle

Show Time: Thanks to architects Rem Koolhaas and Richard Gluckman, New York City's Second Stage Theatre has a new home--an old bank. Turning conventional notions of theater design upside down, the team put the box office in an old walk-in safe and retained the bank's windows and light-filled atmosphere. When a show starts, huge drapes cover the windows--a whole new type of curtain raiser.
