The program provides a wonderful opportunity for dramatic new architecture and the creation of a great public attraction. This building tells a unique and a particular story which crystallizes New York programmatic content and the singularity of the site. The Crystal transforms the secretive and fortress-like character of New York City, turning it into an inspired atmosphere dedicated to the resurgence of Chelsea District as the dynamic center of New York City. The project site is an adjacent land underwater, and some associated frontage area, all of which are located in Hudson River Park at approximately West 15th Street. Immediately adjacent to and east of the site are other portions of Hudson River Park and the Route 9A bikeway and roadway.
