The Shed

NYC, New York

The Shed is 200,000-square-foot cultural space.
With its facade made of lightweight, luminescent ETFE panels, it could be confused for a massive down comforter.
It's outer shell sits on a set of wheels connected to a short track.
Once activated, the shell moves away from the main frame of the building, in effect creating an entire new building that’s part of the original one.
To open and close the Shed takes the same horsepower of one Prius engine.
For reference, the 2019 Toyota Prius runs on 121 horsepower.

Very nicely done! V. Im impressed how you take scenes that millions of people have photographed and manage to do a better job of turning them into art.
