Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center

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.
