The court itself is a sight to behold, with a reproduction of R. Buckminster Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome positioned as a centrepiece attraction along with a sculpture of Le Corbusier situated nearby.
The area will eventually be extended to include the southern half of Paseo Ponti, a pedestrian street that will stretch from 38th to 42nd street.
