Blog 2.1 – Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts by Steven Holl

This is the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts by Steven Holl. It  does a great job of incorporating nature into its design and enables a significant amount of natural light. It also incorporates a reflection pool in its courtyard and the laser etching on the windows expounds the amount of natural light allowed in. This makes the building seem more open when inside. It also uses a void slab design that uses plastic balls in the concrete to reduce deadweight over long periods of time. This makes the building both modern and sustainable.
