Monograph in Motion—Dattner Architects: New 34th Street/Hudson Yards Subway Station

• Design & Architecture

The first new stop added to the New York City subway in more than a quarter-century sets a new standard for the system, and features a site-specific artwork by Xenobia Bailey, commissioned by MTA Arts & Design. Designed by Dattner Architects in collaboration with WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff, the station opened on September 13, 2015. Hear from Dattner’s Beth Greenberg and Emily Kotsaftis about how abundant indirect light and column-free spaces were employed to engender a sense of safety and openness unusual in a deep underground station.

This tour is part of Open House New York’s Monograph in Motion, an ongoing series of public tours that celebrates the work of design firms that have had a significant impact on New York City’s built environment.
