A striking addition to the Kansas City skyline, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts houses a state-of-the-art concert hall and performing arts theater, wrapped by a soaring glass-enclosed lobby. The lighting approach is minimalist, allowing the architecture to speak for itself without interruption.
