After seeing the quality of the Vessel, I’m really looking forward to this.

I had confidence in Heatherwick ever since I saw the 2012 London cauldron for the Olympics. That is one of my favorite ones.

I’d also add his UK Pavilion aka the Seed Pavilion at the 2010 Expo in Shanghai

That was a cool building. I didn’t even know that was Heatherwick.

The Vessel has catapulted his name into household territory. He is really gifted and so far not vulnerable or give into cost cutting.

Walked by here the other day and unfortunately didn’t get any pics BUT it has progressed tremendously. The entrance outline is become clear with a “cave/tunnel” forming & it’s A LOT bigger than I originally thought.

This place will be absolutely swamped. They’ll probably have to have a reserve system or lottery to get in.

This park will be very dope, albeit useless when packed with tourists. I just cant help but wonder what kind of park (and how big) could have been built at a different location for this money

It’s NY.

It’s probably cheaper to build a new park on water than on already existing land.
