here comes big daddy . . centerpiece of Hudson Yards . .
most distinctive dominant structure on the entire West side,
stem to stern, of Manhattan . .
Not to worry, those that say 1 WTC, is as distinctive . .
are only a little wrong . .
If Foster's 2 WTC gets built, instead of the Ingles pile, . .
then 30 HY has some real competition in the
"Impressively distinctive West Side Dominator" category . .
In my book, when talking about the supremacy of tall towers, . .
impressive design, trumps an extra 100 feet of height . .
especially if the tower rules by donning a big stick . .
though the Nordstrom stick, is the make or break
design piece de resistance on that one . .
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
I want to climb those sky-stairs (or sloped ladder) . .
that goes up along the angled top-edge of the South Wall,
almost to the tip of 30 HY's crisp crown . .
see the cool-ass 1st picture of NYguy's post #3003 . . (the close-up of the crown) . .
but undoubtedly, it's for maintenance staff only . .
I didn't realize that the edge of the outdoor observation deck,
was so near to, and ran parallel to, the tower's south wall . .
I think that once upon a time, it came out of the south face at an angle . .
I assume the deck still comes out of the East Face, at a considerable angle . .
I too, really can't wait to go up on this deck . .
and to see the crowns illuminated . .
I get the feeling tgat some "daredevil" will get up there to climb eventually.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
its really hard to overstate how immensely mammoth this bldg is in person.
when you see it up close along 10av/33-34st and also when you look at it from next to the new hudson yards 7 train station -- it really drops your jaw.
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.

so, according to the utterly fascinating close-up rendering
of the finished crown, . . (see Feb 5th NYguy post above) . .
it looks like the metal grids of the sloped crown roofs . .
won't be filled in with glass, as I've been hoping they would be . .
That extra expense, would've made the buildings (10 & 30 HY)
appear more finely finished & wholely prismatic . . and the crown-roof slopes,
more impressively & evenly illuminated at night . .
(as they appeared to be in the earliest set of renderings of this complex) . .
It's hard to tell, even in this highly precise rendering, . .
if there's some sort of long lighting fixtures attached to
the crosshatching bars defining the roof planes . .
I assume some sort of lighting effect will be happening . .
within the wide edging of the sloping triangles . .
