This just released book is dedicated to the newly constructed expansion of the Kennedy Center, the REACH. Providing a new topology for performing arts centers and a view up-close of how art is made, the REACH, was designed by one of America’s most influential architects and opened to acclaim in September 2019. 

The REACH: The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts / Steven Holl Architects 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. Hundreds of beautiful photographs show the beauty of the REACH, both inside and out, and its varied programs.
