Spillman Farmer Architects Announces Completion of Performing Arts Center on Former Bethlehem Steel Brown Field
Firm Designed ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Thursday April 7 2011 -- Spillman Farmer Architects is pleased to announce the completion of the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, a dynamic entertainment and cultural center on the landmark former industrial brown field site of Bethlehem Steel located in eastern Pennsylvania. The Center will be dedicated on Thursday April 14.
The design grew from the profoundly meaningful history of place here, said Joseph N. Biondo AIA, Spillman Farmer Architects' Design Principal. The Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces are iconic - they are America's historic ruins. The arts center is deeply inspired by this former industrial site and the lives that were lived here. The highlights of the 67,000 square feet building are a 450-seat venue for live performances and a two-screen state-of-the-art cinema. We wanted the building to make a compelling statement about the future of the arts and community here in Bethlehem. This project evolved from the energy generated by the friction of past and future, the human spirit that fueled the American industrial revolution, and the elegance of a finely crafted music box, said Biondo.
It is not surprising that the juxtaposed phrase raw elegance became shorthand for the design concept. The building's glass and concrete exterior is oriented along an east-west axis to stand toe-to-toe with the now silent blast furnaces of Bethlehem Steel. The building is clad with locally manufactured pre-cast concrete panels mounted with the rough, hand-screed concrete side facing outward to reveal the surprising handcrafted nature of this common material. The experience of the building is fully realized in the interior, where visitors encounter spaces that bring them in intimate visual contact with the iconic blast furnaces as the permanent backdrop for activities within.
The Center, which kicks of its concert series with a private performance by The Steve Miller Band, will be home to more than 300 live music performances and 10 new arts festivals each year.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
