Smile New York City | MSG/Penn Station Redevelopment | VISIONS

Four architects recently responded to a challenge by the Municipal Arts Society to envision a redevelopment of the Penn Station/Madison Square Garden area.

SHoP, "Gotham Gateway"

Quote:
Let's move Madison Square Garden a few blocks southwest to the Morgan postal facility, says SHoP Architects. Let's also get rid of 2 Penn Plaza and redevelop a tower nearby, as well as rezone and build offices in a swath of Midtown south of the station


H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture

Quote:
plan involves relocating Madison Square Garden to a built-out pier along the Hudson River to the west of the Javits Center, and connecting it to the rest of the city via an elevated walkway for pedestrians and cyclists called the water line. With the freed up land, they would upzone plots all along Seventh Avenue to make way for tall office towers, four of which would occupy the four corners of the Penn Station site.



Skidmore Owings & Merrill

Quote:
They aim to move MSG to a spot just south of the Farley Building, on Eighth Avenue between 30th and 31st streets. Above the station would be a mixed-use complex, with residential space, parks including a skyline garden, offices, and places for cultural/leisure activities.



Diller Scofido + Renfro - "city within a city"

Quote:
With MSG moved to behind the Farley building on Ninth Avenue, there's room for a variety of spaces, from a spa to a micro theater to a cascading park. Also imagined are a pool, restaurants, and many surfaces on which to project advertisements.

cool, but nothing compares to the original Penn Station.

If the destruction of the old Penn Station was the most horrifying abuse to the fabric of a city since the sack of Rome, building MSG on top of it came next.

Tear the damned thing down and I don't care where they rebuild it.

Yeah, like that H3 plan would ever be feasible, what is that? A 2000 foot tall building? Freaking architects need to keep their plans reasonable. Dont get me wrong, a 2000' building right there would be fucking awesome, but it will never happen.

probably not, but never say never.

A lot of people would have said that NYC will never have over 5 400 meter buildings, and in the near future, it will, plus much more.
