Great Hall of the Apparel Mart | |

The
Great Hall is a space which allows individuals to relax in an intimate
setting during wholesale markets, providing cafeteria dining and fashion
museum display. Designed for very diverse uses, it is used for special
functions such as concerts, national television shows, large fashion shows,
political rallies and dances for crowds of 5,000. Undulating walls, built-in
lounge seating, level changes, balconies, plants and fountains form both
the overall space and a secondary group of more intimate spaces. Fluid
geometry and natural light are used to contrast the 2.4 million square
feet of small showrooms surrounding the Great hall. During the interim
periods between shows, the stage is removed to reveal a reflecting pool
with a large fountain capable of reaching 40 feet heights.
