Vessel

Description

This architectural marvel and interactive experience comes to NYC’s Hudson Yards courtesy of designer Thomas Heatherwick. The monument is comprised of 154 intricately interconnected flights of stairs, forming a cylindrical or vessel-type structure from the outside, partially inspired by ancient Indian stepwells. Inside, visitors will be able to climb nearly 2,500 stairs and stand on 80 landings to garner different viewpoints of the City via this immense piece of artwork.
