The Vessel in It's Surroundings

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.

It doesn't appear so large from this angle. I like the surrounding gardens to soften the scene.
globalgadabout01-Aug-2019 14:39
it appears so skeletal, yet still outshines the uniform glass towers...

Surprisingly it looks small in comparison with the tall building in the wide view. I'm certainly not disappointed after seeing your images of it. "V"
