I have been so concentrated on the fascinating lines, shapes,
reflections and interior of the Vessel that I have neglected to
show you a photo of of what the structure looks like as you approach it.
Some information from Wikipedia:
Vessel is a 16-story, 150-foot-high structure of connected staircases between the buildings of Hudson Yards, located in the 5-acre Hudson Yards Public Square.
Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, Vessel has 154 flights, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings that stretch from its 50-foot-wide base to its 150-foot-wide apex (making it as tall as it is wide at its apex), with the total length of the stairs exceeding 1 mile.
The copper-clad steps, arranged like a jungle gym and modeled after Indian stepwells, can hold 1,000 people at a time. Heatherwick said that he intends visitors to climb and explore the structure as if it were a jungle gym.
