Joie de Vivre and Happy Holidays from Steven Holl Architects!

Last week, the SHA holiday party returned to New York City for the first time in five years. This joyful gathering celebrated deep cultural connections of artists, writers, and architects at the heart of NYC.

Five years ago, The REACH Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened to the public. “The REACH merges architecture with the landscape, expanding the dimensions of a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy. As the largest green roof in Washington D.C., The REACH shapes open public space, a gift to Washington D.C. and to the nation for future generations.” – Steven Holl

Since opening September 2019, The REACH has welcomed over 2 million visitors for performances, events, and programs. This weekend, The Kennedy Center is celebrating with an anniversary party and events, visit for more information.
