Last year, it was announced that a new mega-structure would be built as the center piece of Hudson Yards. Titled "Vessel", the Thomas Heatherwick-designed sculpture features 18 stories of climbable staircases, with each level wider than the one below it. In this immersive 360° video from the New York Times, see the structure coming together.

Watch the construction of “Vessel,” an interactive, 15-story sculpture that is the centerpiece of five acres of public space at the Hudson Yards development on Manhattan’s West Side.
