The Fascinating Geometry of The Vessel

The Vessel at Hudson Yards is a marvel of engineering and design. Its 154 flights of stairs and 80 landings offer a unique perspective of the surrounding cityscape. From the top, the view of the Hudson River is breathtaking. The structure itself is made up of 154 interconnected flights of stairs, 80 landings and more than 2,500 steps. Despite its complex geometry, The Vessel's design is both elegant and sturdy. Its copper-colored steel plates were inspired by the oxidized steel of the New York City subway system.
