 Inside the station mezzanine, the curved recessed ceiling dome contains glittering mosaics, also set against a deep blue background with repeating mandalas and patterns. Xenobia Bailey is a fiber artist who works primarily in crochet and textiles, creating sculptural work and textiles with an architectural harmony that celebrates her materials and forms. Her art for the station began as crocheted pieces, which were transferred to digital images, enlarged and interpreted into mosaic.  Bailey sees the work as speaking to the universal idea of creation and has created artwork that vibrates with energy. She refers to her accumulation of materials as in the tradition of African-American art&mdash;reflected in the music of the 1960`s she grew up with&mdash;and its material culture and design, where one made do with what was available, and made it into something new and wonderful.  

34th Street - Hudson Yards Subway Station

Funktional Vibrations

 The Number 7 subway extension connects the new Hudson Yards neighborhood on Manhattan`s far west side with transportation hubs at Times Square and Grand Central Station. The first addition to the city subway system in over 25 years, the design incorporates 21st Century levels of safety, comfort, and convenience. A technically complex project, the new line threads itself below the Lincoln Tunnel, Penn Station rail yards, and other subterranean infrastructure. Thousands of daily riders are whisked to the surface on escalators or inclined elevators from one of the deepest rail platforms in New York. 

No. 7 Line Extension & 34th St-Hudson Yards Station

The Vessel is a structure and visitor attraction built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City, New York. Built to plans by the British designer Thomas Heatherwick, the elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. The Vessel is the main feature of the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Hudson Yards Public Square.

55 Hudson Yards, a 1.3-million-square-foot office building located at the intersection of Hudson Yards, the High Line and Hudson Park & Boulevard, is the newest addition to the collection of towers to be located at Hudson Yards. The LEED Gold-designed building will stand 780 feet tall with the entrance located just across from the new No. 7 Subway station. The building is under construction and will be delivered to tenants in 2017 with move-in’s in mid-2018.

The conceptual design of the building was an unprecedented joint venture of A. Eugene Kohn of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche; KPF served as the Design Architect.

55 Hudson Yards is the southwestern anchor of the new Hudson Park and is one of the only office buildings in the entire city to have a lobby that opens directly onto a park. The architects further enhanced the appeal of this great outdoor space by designing a dramatic outdoor terrace overlooking the park on the building’s tenth floor. The building’s design also provides future tenants the opportunity to carve private, double-height terraces into the tower in flexible locations.

The unique façade of 55 Hudson Yards is inspired by the revitalized High Line district, the manufactured cast iron façades of the Soho buildings and the best of early modernism. The matte metal and stepped articulation of the window frames present a strong and solid exterior appearance, which is modern but uniquely New York in character. While the building references the solid exterior of the city’s classic cast iron buildings, it also shares their expansive floor to ceiling windows to maximize interior light

30 Hudson Yards is located at the southwest corner of 33rd Street and 10th Avenue and will be completed in 2019. The 2.6-million-square-foot tower designed by Bill Pedersen of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) will be the second-tallest office building in New York, taller than the Empire State Building and home to the highest outdoor observation deck in the city. The LEED Gold-designed building will stand 1,296 feet tall and feature river-to-river panoramic views, outdoor terraces, a dramatic triple-height lobby, direct access to premier restaurants and retailers and an underground connection to the new No. 7 Subway station.

30 Hudson Yards

 The Hudson Yards Project is a transit-oriented mixed use development scheme. It is envisioned to be an 11 acre public landscape in New York City built into a residential and commercial development of 30 acres that is constructed over the top of existing and highly active rail yards. It includes an extension of the No.7 subway line from the Times Square terminus towards 34th Street and 11th Avenue. The development focuses on creating new public parks and open spaces in the Hudson Yards area.
