With the help of billionaire businessman Ronald O. Perelman's $75 million gift, the 90,000-square-foot marble cube designed by REX will both stand out as an impressive piece of cultural architecture and co-exists with the other structures on the WTC complex.</p></em><br /><br /><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/x7/x70ugfk5hlpoq2ai.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/z1/z1cs44ck1vp63l6f.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/ky/kyas64shywnqzjgv.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/ma/mal89cjnwzuc8jrj.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/9o/9oyruea8i7x3du2u.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/nr/nrgrn3s22zemd5gj.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/3w/3w77tc9qftzmk5y1.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/9s/9sdzextd7bn9xenx.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/3z/3zboen3gbfnokk9s.jpg"></p> https://archinect.com/news/article/149955191/world-trade-center-performing-arts-complex-gets-75m-gift-from-billionaire-ronald-perelman Dana Schulz 2016-06-30T11:42:00-04:00 >2018-01-30T06:16:04-05:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/wn/wndf2smzp3f3fvwp.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><em><p>Perelman recently stepped down as Chairman of Carnegie Hall after butting heads with staff and other board members and pushing for the institution to present more pop music. He hopes to fulfill this at the World Trade Center, stating, &ldquo;I would hope it is the first venue of choice for the Bruce Springsteens and the Bon Jovis and the Yo-Yo Mas and the Lang Langs, and at the same time it&rsquo;s a place where we could have produced a &ldquo;Hamilton&rdquo; project or where we could produce a new ballet.&rdquo;</p></em><br /><br /><p>After being stalled for 12 years, the Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center (PACWTC) is moving forward thanks to a $75 million gift from billionaire businessman and philanthropist Ronald O. Perelman. Brooklyn-based studio REX will design the complex, which will cost a total of $240 million and become the permanent home for the Tribeca Film Festival.&nbsp;</p>
