Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) – REX
Located beside the 9/11 Memorial, the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) by REX serves as the cultural anchor and final public component of the World Trade Center master plan. Conceived as a producing house for theater, music, dance, opera, and film, the building embraces art as a force for healing while offering radical flexibility in performance design.
Its compact, elevated form is wrapped in translucent marble, presenting a calm, monolithic presence by day and glowing softly at night to reveal the creative life within. Inside, an advanced system of movable walls, seating towers, lifts, and catwalks allows the theaters to transform into more than sixty different configurations, ranging from intimate to large-scale performances. PAC NYC redefines what a contemporary performance venue can be, offering artists and audiences ever-changing spatial experiences.
