Introduction -- Up, up and away : designing and making New York's Staircase / Jeff Chu -- A West Side story : Hudson Yards, the new heart of New York / Sarah Medford -- Movement as monument : a twenty-first century public space / Paul Goldberger.
"Designed by ... Heatherwick Studio, the soaring centerpiece of Hudson Yards' Public Square & Gardens is a completely different kind of monument. With 2,500 steps, 154 staircases, and 80 landings--a full mile of pathways in all--it is one of the most complex pieces of steelwork ever constructed"--Page 4 of cover.
