I made a gif from the video to highlight the glossiness that this will have (check out the reflection)

Ive watched this video probably ten times. If the materials are top notch, this could be one of the great pieces of architecture in New York.

it was inspired by the rare book library at Yale which is one of my favorites.
So, hopefully this will be great.

Anyone think they know how this will be built. Like a steel or concrete core? Or built with steel beams or all concrete? I think it is going to be all steel

Concrete cores are typically for skyscrapers. It would also detract from he fact that there is an enormous amount of interior space for the concert hall.

I would think steel encased in concrete, with steel for cantilevering purposes and concrete to reduce the vibrations caused by the trains below, and the VSC's exit ramp.

I really like the interior renderings for this building. Will be a great addition to the complex. Has a strange spacey feel from the outside, but its lighting at night looks really promising.

Convenient bump, this might be dead.

If this gets scrapped, I wonder if they'll look to incorporate a similar type of space into a mixed use building with a hotel/residential component.

^No.

There won't be a hotel or residential on this site.

Pinhead
 

OK, I hate to be the one to mention this, and it's not that I don't like the rendering; although, I preferred original one with the stacked glass boxes, but did anyone see the move "Hellraiser"?

I'm just saying...

LOL :shrug::rolleyes:

Not sure how to post the pic, but based on the earthcam this is making some good progress.

^ Thanks for sharing, NyGuy. An interesting design but wow, what an entrance!

Why don’t they make it bigger? It’s not like they are constrained by lot lines.

Will this compete with Lincoln Center or is there enough world class performing arts to go around?

It'll also be competing with Hudson Yards Culture Shed.

Surely there's enough to go around. It's New York City... just gives another great venue option for performances. Theater, music, dance, interactive performance art...so many opportunities I don't see any reason for concern at all.

The interior is what's going to make this venue the go-to place for Lower Manhattan. There is no one square footage in any of its interiors, based on the renders.

There are not a lot of venues like this Downtown, especially below Houston Street so I think this will definitely be welcome. Also another example of how the center of gravity is shifting Downtown (and toward Brooklyn).

This would be the perfect venue for the Fashion Week shows that are currently homeless and nomadic.

Conde Nast is already next door.

Fashion Week will be moving to the Hudson Yards.

This building is beautiful (almost as if it is a sculpture) but I worry about how uninviting it could be from most sides. It could have the same bleakness that Lincoln Center gets criticized for.

Thanks for the updates.

Is this building's height going to be as tall as the base of 1WTC? Also what designation does this building have? Will it be 5WTC or 6WTC?

It won't have a WTC # designation as far as I know. 5 WTC is "reserved" for the plot formerly occupied by the Deutsche Bank Building. 6 WTC is not intended for use, and I don't think they'd use it for the PAC since it's named after a person and has a very specific use.

They should just label the PAC as 6 WTC. Would just make everything sound more complete. :haha:

You mean like how the original 3 WTC Was the Vista/Marriott Hotel?

Building numbers do not affect the official name of a building. Calling it 6 WTC would only apply to the site plan of the campus. Considering it's been a part of the plan since its earliest inceptions it doesn't sound completely unreasonable.

So...

Are they actually working? Any progress being made?

Last time I was there, the answer was yes.

this is above street level but no progress vertically, sadly earthcam is down and we cant see any activity in the inside, unless you get to be on a high floor of the nearby buildings.

There's a new internal structure on the inside now and the cranes are mostly gone.
