Inside the new 100,000-square-foot complex, we integrated cutting-edge equipment, seating, and lighting design seamlessly with Frank Gehry’s signature architecture, all while meeting the complex artistic and technical flexibility desired by the New World Symphony. The concert hall’s stage is composed of 10 mechanized lifts which can operate independently or as a single unit. When the lifts are lowered and the seating sections are retracted, the highly flexible space becomes a flat floor venue, holding up to 1,200 for parties, and banquets.
