Superhuman City

Hudson Yards, a mega-neighborhood built from scratch, comes into view.

By Justin Davidson

Related hired a bouquet of architects as a hedge against corporate uniformity. Then it imposed corporate uniformity on them all.

Temporary “Prelude To The Shed” Opens At Hudson Yards

A temporary steel tent situated on West 31st Street and 10th Avenue will imminently encompass a two-week free exhibition dubbed “Prelude To The Shed,” a preview for the kinds of programs that will soon be performed and showcased at The Shed. Designed by Kunle Adeyemi, with collaboration by artists including Tino Sehgal, William Forsythe, Reggie ‘Regg Roc’ Gray, ABRA, Arca, and Asad Raza, the space emphasizes visual dialogue and an integration of multiple practices within the arts.

The structure uses a series of movable partitions that serve dual functions as seating for attendees, and as separators for the space during live performances, dance numbers, and singing, which take place inside a nearly pitch-black environment.

A series of digital drawing scans by the late British Architect Cedric Price (1934-2003) are also on display outside, which include a large-scale model of one of his unrealized projects called “Fun Palace.” Conceived in the mid-1960s’s and proposed to be built in London but never realized, the project would have been composed of an open-air multi-functional venue using latticed steel columns and trusses that could support and incorporate a theater, an auditorium, a museum, and large open public spaces without walls, windows, or a roof. Price wanted programs and critical structural elements to be the only focal points, similar to the Jacob K. Javits Center.

In the end, the architectural inspiration of Price’s design was an opposition to the idea of creating a monumental and permanent building, and to have the space instead last for at most twenty years (or about one generation), because he believed that buildings should be ethereal and relate only to the world at their moment in time.
