4. CONCEPT T he aim was to create an attraction point without being overwhelmed by the surrounding buildings. As well as creating an element that people can interact with. The main concept of the building came from Stepwells in Rajasthan, India.

5. The building construction materials of the Vessel consist of three main materials: S teel. D eep copper-toned metal cladding. G lass panels. MATERIALS

6. SPECIAL TECHNIQUES T he 75 huge steel components were produced in Venice by specialist fabricator Cimolai , before being brought from Italy in six shipments, carried across the Hudson River by barge, and assembled on site. Despite the size of the Vessel, it has been designed at a human scale, to be climbed, explored and enjoyed by New Yorkers and visitors.

7. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY To create the continuous geometric pattern of the stepwell, with 154 interconnecting flights of stairs, the object had to be self-supporting – a discreet structural solution was required, which did not need additional columns and beams. This was resolved by inserting a steel spine between each pair of staircases, creating a natural division between ‘up’ and ‘down’.
