The Guardian reported that a design has been unveiled for a new arts venue at the World Trade Center. The translucent, veined marble and glass building designed by architect Joshua Prince-Ramus is a proposed 99,000 square feet with three auditoriums and a rehearsal room. The rooms and halls will feature movable walls to create up to 11 configurations, with the largest configuration able to hold up to 1,200 people for bigger events. The $250m project is scheduled to open in 2020.
