We'd get serious exposure if we could get our stickers on the stairs to no where above the TKTS Booth in NYC http://bit.ly/9EFmU5

How wrong I believe you are. This thing is a pretty inspired response to the program, and appropriate for its context. It’s a piece of urban furniture, hardly rubbish.

It’s an amazing engineering feat – one of the largest structures in the world to be completely structurally supported by load bearing glass (the glass also braces the structure). Bit of a shame the execution has a few loose ends, but overall – the people love it. the stairway to no-where they call it. Bloody excessive cost however for what it is (that’s what happens though when you have so many stakeholders wrangling the thing in different directions).

I wonder where the long daily line up goes? and any shade for those poor souls who want discount tickets?? The tickets windows seem quite close to the adjacent road. Anyone wants to elaborate how the ticket sale actually works when there are hundreds of people lining up before tickets sale at 2pm I believe….

This is a really important “public” contribution to a part of the city where every square inch is normally given over to advertising and commercialism.

Well done to all involved + esp to the competition winning architects Choi Ropiha…. the only architects i know who can go surfing at lunch time and still win international competitions.

It’s definitely a smart design. Times Square is such a specific place to design for. In a way it’s like the little Japanese house on the cliff; this doesn’t belong anywhere other than the site it was designed for.

Thought I remembered seeing this design in Arch. Record like 10 years ago? They just now finished it?

Ricardo, the plans have been produced in AutoCAD with the usual Photo Shop / VIZ and Illustrator to do the colouring. The glass stainless steel components were fabricated using CAD/CAM from an Autodesk Inventor model.

As far as I understand it, the competition winning design was by Choi Ropiha, and this article greatly overstates the design contribution made by Perkins Eastman.

Looks great for me! Love the idea of making it a bleacher like platform, it must feel pretty cool to sit up there. Would you guys mind saying what program you used to make the working plans? Was it auto desk or vectorworks?
