Vessel (TKA) is a public structure and landmark that was built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The concept for Vessel was revealed in 2016. Construction started in April 2017. The structure topped out in December 2017 and opened on March 15, 2019.

The structure's name is a working title (noted in the TKA abbreviation which means "Temporarily Known As"). The structure owners have asked the public to give it a formal name and have a website devoted to naming it.[2][3] One of the most discussed names on Instagram "The Shawarma" (after the cone shaped meat popular on street carts..[4]

The elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings that visitors would be able to climb. Designed by the British designer Thomas Heatherwick, Vessel is the main feature of the {{convert|5|acre|ha|adj=on}} Hudson Yards Public Square. It is expected to have a final cost of $200 million.[4] Heatherwick who designed the Vessel near the northern terminus of the High Line is also designing a $250 million sculpture/park near the southern terminus of the High Line at Pier 55 which is targeted to open in 2020.[5]

Description

Vessel is a 16-story, {{convert|150|ft|m|0|adj=mid|-high}}[7] structure of connected staircases between the buildings of Hudson Yards, located in the {{convert|5|acre|ha|adj=on}} Hudson Yards Public Square.[6] Designed by Thomas Heatherwick,[7] Vessel has 154 flights, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings that stretch from its {{convert|50|ft|m|adj=mid|-wide}} base to its {{convert|150|ft|m|adj=mid|-wide}} apex (making it as tall as it is wide at its apex),[7] with the total length of the stairs exceeding {{convert|1|mi}}.[8] The structure also has ramps to its elevator to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[6] Stephen Ross, the CEO of Hudson Yards' developer Related Companies, said that The Staircase{{'s}} unusual shape was intended to make the structure stand out like a "12-month Christmas tree."[6] The copper-clad steps, arranged like a jungle gym[14] and modeled after Indian stepwells,[8][9] would be able to hold up to 1,000 people at a time.[7] Heatherwick said that he intends for visitors to climb and explore the structure as if it were an actual jungle gym.[10] At the top of the structure, visitors could have views of the Hudson River coastline.[8]Vessel is being designed in conjunction with the Hudson Yards Public Square, designed by Thomas Woltz from Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects.[11] The attached {{convert|5|acre|0|adj=on}} public square has 28,000 plants and 225 trees,[12] located on the platform upon which Hudson Yards is built.[13] The plaza's southern side is slated to have a canopy of trees. The southeast entrance is designed to contain a fountain as well. A "'seasonally expressive' entry garden" is meant for the 34th Street–Hudson Yards station's subway entrance at 33rd Street.[14] The plaza is also designed to connect the High Line promenade.[15]

Although Vessel had originally been slated to cost $75 million,[6] the projections were later revised to between $150[7] and $200 million.[8] Heatherwick attributed the greatly increased price tag to the complexity of building the steel pieces.[6] The pieces of Vessel are being assembled in the commune of Monfalcone in Italy.[6] From there, ships transport the sections of the sculpture to the Hudson River docks.[8]

It was planned that "Vessel" would be the structure's temporary name during construction, and that a permanent name would be determined later.[15]

History

In an interview with Fortune magazine, Ross said that he "wanted to commission something transformational, monumental," which led to the concept for Vessel.[8] Ross was looking to five unnamed artists who were renowned for designing similar plazas, then asked them for in-depth proposals. He rejected all of the plans, at which point a colleague introduced Ross to Heatherwick.[6] Six weeks after they talked, Ross accepted Heatherwick's proposal immediately because Heatherwick's plan "had everything I wanted."[6] In an interview with designboom, Heatherwick said that his design for Vessel originated from a childhood experience when he "fell in love with an old discarded flight of wooden stairs outside a local building site."[9] The media first reported Heatherwick's commissioning in October 2013.[11][16]

The concept of Vessel was unveiled to the public on September 14, 2016,[8] in an event attended by hundreds of people including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.[7][6] The unveiling event, which was hosted by Anderson Cooper, featured a performance from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater that evoked the interlocking design of Vessel{{'s}} staircases.[6]

In April 2017, the first major piece of the sculpture was installed at Hudson Yards.[17] Construction started on April 18[18] with the installation of the first 10 pieces of the 75-piece structure.[19] It was projected for completion in the spring of 2019,[20] with the other 65 pieces arriving in five batches.[21] The structure topped out in December 2017.[22][23] In October 2018, it was announced that the opening of Vessel had been scheduled for March 15, 2019, and that tickets to enter the structure would become available in February.[24] By January 2019, Hudson Yards officials were soliciting public suggestions for a rename of Vessel. Though the structure had no official name, the Hudson Yards website called it the "Hudson Yards Staircase".[25] Vessel opened as scheduled on March 15, 2019.[26][27]

Critical reception

The sculpture received both acclaim and criticism upon its unveiling. Fortune called Vessel "Manhattan's answer to the Eiffel Tower",[8] a sentiment echoed by CNN.[10] Elle Decor compared Vessel to an M. C. Escher drawing.[28] The New York Times stated that the sculpture, while a "stairway to nowhere" in the utilitarian sense, served as an "exclamation point" to the northern terminus of the High Line Park.[6] Gothamist called Vessel "a bold addition to the city's landscape."[29] Speaking about the structure's design process, Heatherwick stated, "We had to think of what could act as the role of a landmarker. Something that could help give character and particularity to the space."[30] Several commentators have dubbed the structure the Giant Shawarma.[31][32][33]

Public Art Fund president Susan Freedman liked the renderings for Vessel but called it "a leap of faith in terms of scale." She stated that there might be too much demand for Vessel, especially considering the structure's proximity to the High Line.[6] Other critics reviewed Vessel more negatively. New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman called Vessel's exterior "gaudy" and criticized Hudson Yards more generally as a "gated community" that lacked real public space.[34] City Lab's Feargus O'Sullivan called Vessel, along with Heatherwick's other numerous billionaire-funded developments and architectural projects, "a gaudy monument to being only ever-so-slightly free."[35]

Much of the criticism of Vessel has been of its photo policies. Hudson Yards, the owner of Vessel, claims ownership of all pictures and videos taken of Vessel, and reserves the right to use any photos or videos taken for commercial purposes without paying royalty fees. This privileged use of photos and videos by Hudson Yards, a private company, has been criticized because Hudson Yards has benefited from $4.5 billion in tax revenue.[36] After criticism emerged about Vessel's copyright policy, Hudson Yards modified the policy so visitors would have ownership of photos of Vessel.[37][38]
