The Hudson Yards Vessel, often referred to simply as "The Vessel," is a striking architectural centerpiece located in the Hudson Yards neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Designed by British architect Thomas Heatherwick, it features an intricate honeycomb-like structure made of interconnected staircases, landings, and platforms. Standing at 150 feet tall, The Vessel offers a unique interactive experience, inviting visitors to climb its 154 flights of stairs and explore 80 viewing platforms that provide panoramic views of the city and the Hudson River. Completed in 2019, the copper-clad structure has become an iconic landmark, symbolizing the innovative spirit of modern urban design.
