photo Essay: NYC’s Controversial New $4 Billion Transit Hub

Architect Santiago Calatrava’s hovering World trade center Transportation Hub opened in downtown new york (March 10, 2016). Derided for operating over agenda and virtually $2 billion over funds, the skeletal “standing rib roast” of a train station is however a sui generis addition to new york’s skyline and will without doubt serve town for many years, if for no other motive than to present New Yorkers any other factor to whinge about.

fast firm photographer Celine Grouard needed to capture the transit hub previous to its public opening, in these unhurried moments ahead of 50,000 pairs of shoes start scuffing up the floors every day. this is the virgin area because it seemed (March 10, 2016)—and will by no means seem once more.
