The Vessel and the Shed at Hudson’s Yard, New York

19/08/2019

As it had only recently opened to the public back in early May, I wanted to visit Hudson’s Yard to see what all the fuss was about. Well, firstly it’s a huge corporate development with The Vessel designed by Thomas Heatherwick Studio (which isn’t small) dwarfed by the buildings around it.

I liked the reflections in neighbouring buildings

and the bollards were lovely.

This view reminds me of a woodlouse (in a good way)

The Shed , a new cultural venue by Highline architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro wasn’t yet open

but you can see the tensile fabric covering

and these impressive massive opening and closing wheels on their track.

I peeked in to see teams preparing for the first presentation – some of the seats were still covered in plastic.

Then back to street level and what felt like normality. It’ll be interesting to see how this area develops over time, hopefully to become a more inclusive place than it currently is.
