See who is jumping again. #tedxcommunity. Once jumping, always jumping! Keep jumping for #4healthyhearts. ==> Posted @withrepost • @hahatango NYC: Quickly checked out the controversial Hudson Yard Vessel by architect Thomas Heatherwick.
It's beautiful, stands out, dreamlike, is crowd controlled (only X people allowed in), a Labyrinth of staircases making it seem MC Escher like who I idolized growing up.
As much as some may criticize it, I look at as Art in public which I am always for. It brings people together, makes them curious and wonder, a nice vertical stroll around the stairs for a simple fun exercise, many take pictures, it's fascinating to observe people inside, is right near the highline walk, and though some call it a beehive or a large Schawarma which I actually love, it's way better than the bland boxy shoebox designs we are use to.
I'll admit it is only a few weeks old so the crisp clean lines are immaculant. Time will tell how this ages, but for now I say Go... yup... I did a jump ;) .
I'll await when it is used for some event somehow... Looking down over the sides us a bit alarming as I'm scared of heights... FYI, I arrived at 3 and free tickets were about an hour later... So grab a ticket, stroll the highline a bit and return.
