I was there on Wednesday, it’s really cool. Didn’t go up it because I don’t like heights that much.
Interestingly I think the real estate company is claiming rights to all images taken of the structure.

Why did they build a giant wastepaper basket and a miniature Dubai in new york?

I heard Heatherwick speak about this project about 2 years ago and he was really passionate and excited about it. He almost had me convinced about the concept. But seeing it in execution.. I’m just not sure.
Add to that the environmental concerns about rising sea levels re: Hudson Yards..

We were walking by it (we had just exited The High Line) about a week ago (before it opened) and were approached by a man in a hard hat. We chatted for about five minutes and he asked us what we though about it and what came to mind. We told him we liked it and that MC Escher came to mind. As soon as he heard Escher he lit up and said ‘yes, exactly, that’s it!’
Eventually he told us that it was his project and that he was the lead architect (his name was Lawrence), and that he was taking to people to get feedback for his team back in London.
It was pretty cool to meet the lead architect of the ‘Vessel’!

FUCK THIS. visitors to this giant shawarma opt in to selling their likeness when they share photos

You say the word a “pedestrian vessel” like it means something
