I'm excited for this, even though I'm not sure what it is. But it's clear that the Hudson Yards won't just be a collection of skyscrapers. The Heatherwick piece will go here... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/160805886/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/158913683/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/158913684/original.jpg |
This larger image gives a better view of the plaza where the piece will go...

Ross also said earlier that the structure would "contain more people" than the Eiffel Tower. Still trying to get a visual on it, but with the steady stream of people coming from the High Line alone, this will become a major draw.

Holy.... this is indeed iconic, and has an elegance that I didn't see in Anish Kapoor's monstrous London tower. It's not easy to just create another Eiffel Tower... especially when China or Dubai will just do it bigger and faster. Pretty cool Escher inspiration, as well.
:worship::worship: |
I was worried it might be too big and overwhelm the plaza, but its just right.

Looks like a beehive, I'd know since I cleared a few of them out my summer home's wood shed a few weeks ago.
I don't know how to feel about it until I see it though, but here's to hoping... :cheers: |

For the last couple years, I have been curious how they could fit an Eiffel Tower-like icon in the middle of this plaza. Now we have an answer. You can't. Of course you can't. Not that this isn't great. It is. But it ain't no Eiffel Tower. Not remotely close. Always better to under-promise and over-deliver rather than the other way around.
