Abstract:

The REACH is a 72,000 ft² (6700 m²) expansion of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, USA. It comprises three prominent pavilions connected by studios, classrooms, and a parking structure below an interwoven green roof. It was constructed using a variety of exposed concrete finishes and structural and architectural components. The article provides insights into the execution of some of the project’s outstanding features.
