We knew Metrotech to be many things: a place of office buildings, tech schools, public art, Tkts location, and a walkway between avenues. Now they are revealing its true personality, as a vortex of technology, architecture, and commerce. NYU bought the huge brown building in the background and is going to turn it into a science center. Jay Street is on the way up.

“Balanced Cylinders” by Paul Sisko (1984), sits on the Metrotech plaza in front of an NYU Polytechnic University building. The sculpture brings color to the space, but it strains to appear whimsical and spontaneous. I think of lipstick advertising.
