肯尼迪表演艺术中心最近完成了一次由美国最有影响力的建筑师之一设计的扩建，为表演艺术中心提供了一个新结构，让人们有机会了解艺术是如何形成的。本书专门介绍了此次扩建项目。作为肯尼迪中心历史上的首次重大扩建，REACH打破了观众与艺术之间的界限。 REACH位于华盛顿特区波托马克河沿岸的肯尼迪中心附近，计划于2019年开放。

本书全面介绍了该项目的历史，并包括肯尼迪中心提出的编程倡议，以纪念肯尼迪总统及其对艺术和美国文化的重要贡献。

A book dedicated to the newly constructed expansion of the Kennedy Center that provides a new topology for performing-

arts centers and a view of how art is made, designed by one of America's most influential architects. As the first major expansion in Kennedy Center history, the REACH breaks down boundaries between audience and art. Set adjacent to the Kennedy Center along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., the REACH is set to open in 2019.

As a "living memorial" for John F. Kennedy, the Center for the Performing Arts takes an active position among the great presidential monuments of the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials. Steven Holl Architects envisions the expansion of the building to fuse with the landscape and river, connecting the Kennedy Center to the Potomac riverfront for the first time: walk through a grove of thirty-

five ginkgo trees, watch a free outdoor simulcast performance projected on a wall in a public park, or look out at the Potomac from a river pavilion cafe.

The book 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.
