On the most significant site in New York City, The Perelman 
Center will premiere works of theater, dance, music, film, 
and opera, transforming Lower Manhattan into a vibrant, 
global cultural heart. It is a pure form, wrapped in 
translucent, veined marble, laminated within insulated glass. 
The performing arts center includes three auditoria (499-, 
250-, and 99-person) which can combine to form seven 
additional arrangements, and a rehearsal room—all eleven 
of which can adopt manifold stage-audience configurations; 
flexible front- and back-of-house circulation that can create 
diverse patron entry/intermission/exit processions; and (A-
Z) offices, performer support spaces, and restaurant/bar. 
The keystone and final piece of the World Trade Center 
master plan, The Perelman Center embraces creation and 
memory with respectful individuality.
