Site Visit | New York: St. John the Divine
Brick & Wonder Pro and Council members are invited to a private tour of St. John the Divine.
Join Nicolas Kemper, publisher of New York Review of Architecture, for a private vertical tour of St. John the Divine. The tour goes up 124 feet following the stairs and platforms built into the armature of the cathedral’s nave, ending on the roof. It is possibly one of the most riveting sequences of architectural spaces in New York. Kemper has led occasional tours of the cathedral since writing an essay about it, “How to build a Cathedral,” in 2019. Begun 132 years and still unfinished, he enjoys sharing and discussing the cathedral’s story, which includes a slew of New York rivalries, the origins of both the skyscraper and gothic architecture, and lessons in hubris, institution building, and of course project management.

Site Tour: Perelman Performing Arts Center
We are thrilled to offer Brick & Wonder Pro and Council members a private tour of one of New York’s most sensational new buildings – the Perelman Performing Arts Center.
The creation of a performing arts center is a key component of the 2003 Master Plan developed by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to rebuild the 16-acre World Trade Center campus.
Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) is a 129,000 square foot building on multiple levels. The performance space offers flexible layouts in three theater spaces that can be combined to provide dozens of seating configurations, and the lobby level includes a restaurant, bar, terrace, and stage open to the public.
PAC NYC has three flexible, intimate performance spaces. Automated walls and flexible seating systems enable numerous configurations that create a range of unique experiences for audiences and artists.
The tour will be generously facilitated by Sean Michael Cummings, PAC’s Director of Individual Giving, and led by direct project collaborators sharing their first-hand experiences working on the building.
