A book dedicated to the newly constructed expansion of the Kennedy
Center that provides a new topology for performing-arts centers and
a view of how art is made, designed by one of America's most
influential architects. As the first major expansion in Kennedy
Center history, the REACH breaks down boundaries between audience
and art. Set adjacent to the Kennedy Center along the Potomac River
in Washington, D.C., the REACH is set to open in 2019. As a "living
memorial" for John F. Kennedy, the Center for the Performing Arts
takes an active position among the great presidential monuments of
the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials. Steven Holl Architects
envisions the expansion of the building to fuse with the landscape
and river, connecting the Kennedy Center to the Potomac riverfront
for the first time: walk through a grove of thirty-five ginkgo
trees, watch a free outdoor simulcast performance projected on a
wall in a public park, or look out at the Potomac from a river
pavilion cafe. The book offers a comprehensive look at the history
of the project and includes programming initiatives by the Kennedy
Center to memorialize President Kennedy and his significant
contribution to the arts and American culture.
