The glass and steel dome called La Géode was designed by Adrien Fainsilber and it was opened in 1986.

The “folie du rond-point” is one of the several red-painted steel constructions disposed in a strict 120-meter point-grid. The follies were designed by Bernard Tschumi.

Morning glory

After going every other day to the park for a year, one ends up with the “perfect” sunrise light over the Central Park West buildings and the clouds before the storm.
