05/10/24 — ENYA Beyond the Boards: Perelman Performing Arts Center with REXOn May 10, 2024, ENYA hosted a memorable in-person tour of the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC) at the World Trade Center, designed by REX. Led by Alysen Hiller Fiore, Associate Principal at REX, the tour offered a behind-the-scenes look at the innovative design and construction of this monumental cultural project.
Participants had the opportunity to explore the intricacies of the building’s architecture, which is set to become a key performance venue in New York City. The tour highlighted the project’s design challenges and creative solutions, such as the site context, the existing infrastructure, the transformative theatre, movable acoustic doors, the design intent of the translucent stone façade, and the luminated backlighting system, offering invaluable insights into the process of bringing such a unique structure to life.
We extend our thanks to Alysen Hiller Fiore for leading the tour and sharing her expertise. A big thank you also goes to all those who attended, making it a fantastic and engaging experience. We look forward to more opportunities like this to explore cutting-edge architectural projects.

We engage NYC’s diverse young professional community with an equally diverse slate of programming that focuses on career development, design excellence, and public outreach. Committee meetings are open to the public, and are held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm, both virtually and in-person at the Center for Architecture, unless otherwise noted.
