		Max Abramovitz, the architect who designed Avery Fisher Hall at New York City's Lincoln Center and also had a hand in the building of the U.N. complex and several well-known Midtown skyscrapers, died Sunday at his home in Pound Ridge, N.Y. He was 96.

		At the time it opened in 1962, the first of Lincoln Center's five buildings to be completed, its tapered, neo-Classical-style columns and glass-walled interior were praised by Ada Louise Huxtable as "impressive and handsome," especially in the way they worked at night as the hall filled with concertgoers.

		With the New York Philharmonic defecting to Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center officials say they will fill Avery Fisher Hall with orchestras from around the world for special performance series as well as longer residency periods.
		The Philharmonic, the oldest orchestra in the country, is moving to Carnegie Hall after more than 40 years at Avery Fisher, lured away by better acoustics and the independence it will gain as a managing partner of the performance hall.

		When audiences crowd into Avery Fisher Hall this Thursday for the opening of Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival, they won't be looking at what Josh Dachs calls "a picture frame at the end of a long room." For the 39th annual festival, Mr.
		Dachs's theater-design firm, Fisher Dachs Associates, has reconfigured the New York Philharmonic's home in the manner of an 18th-century concert hall - the first such project in Mostly Mozart's history.
		"It was about wanting to create a festival ambience at Avery Fisher through this new physical envelope." To create a setting more appropriate for the festival's smaller chamber orchestra, Fisher Dachs planned a temporary wooden stage extension that reaches 30 feet into the audience, allowing for 233 new seats where Avery Fisher's usual stage sits.
