PRODUCT LIBRARY
remaining open to the elements, the project has been conceived as an expansive landscape that changes with the seasons and the weather.
the two-story residence is complete with a large outdoor terrace.
the staircase comprises 630 pieces, which were assembled and glued on site, piece by piece.
the bridge was 70 meters in length with the two 20-meter-high towers linked by a passageway platform.
connections: +300
As one of the core team members of the original effort to develop out of this mess, relocate MSG and reimagine the currently decomposing regional transit hub and incorporate ARC and 7th line extension, I think Vishaan’s proposal while pragmatic and genuine, is too Spartan for the next couple of centuries of N.Y.C., and lacks the answer to the trillion dollar question which is the air rights over the Penn station itself! It will be just a matter of time, before another Developer/ Mayor/ Governor venture comes up with a superstructure over the Sombrero.
2 Penn Plaza’s got to go. Nothing monumental about that. Load transfer underneath that over Million Volt Room needs to be reworked, retail concourses and Gibson and Morgan tunnels (Time Sq/ West Side Connection folks) and the Yards and Dyer Ave viaduct and 32nd St Service building and SW control facility and LIRR, NJT and Amtrak’s vital facilities and infrastructure is in dire need of renovation and consolidation (Imagine the spectacular indoor pool facility if the 100 yrs old flood gates fail when the next Sandy hits, as one example!), this is the opportunity of the millennia folks, needs a massive effort if we want to avoid repeating the same shameful outcome of the past exercises and decisions made on a whim… Cheers. Glad to see the issue revisited. But please…
Combining this project with Perkins/Eastman design for the PABT would be tremendous. Eventually the replacement for MSG could go where the bus station is now in such a scenario.
Small correction, but we are New Yorkers: Grand Central TERMINAL; never Grand Central STATION; Grand Central Station is a subway stop, a post office annex and the name of a radio program in the 1930s-40s. And the date is 1913, not 1903.
The plan you have created is is amazing and wonderful; I hope the citizens New York can make it happen. And the present and past station is Pennsylvania Station. William Penn had nothing to do with either.
BRAVO!!!! Have it built already.
