With new studios and rehearsal spaces on the banks of the Potomac River, the Kennedy Center ensures itself a place at the forefront of the federal capital’s cultural scene.
Striking a contrast with the bold building designed by Edward Durell Stone, three pavilions are spread out on a green base which connects them underground while forming a topography that frames views of the river and the other presidential memorials along the Mall.
For the luminous performing-arts studios, a newly developed formwork system was applied which gives the structural cast-in-place concrete walls a crinkled texture with excellent acoustic properties.
