How The Shed was made: The kinetic architecture of New York’s newest cultural institution
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2019
- The Shed's concept is simple: It's the 120-foot tall building that moves. This idea is both its architectural hallmark and its metaphor for the future of culture. Opening on April 5th, New York City's half-billion dollar, hybrid museum-meets-performance space can shapeshift to double its indoor perimeter in five minutes.

Brilliant design! Now, I hope that it's made truly accessible to ALL New Yorkers!
That looks like a giant sofa. It looks horrible.
Very innovative. We'll probably see this kind of buildings in other big cities as well.
you need open real estate near by and a necessity for massive void covered space. seems pretty niche to me, only something for large scale art exhibits. there are few reasons why you'd need such a large empty space.
also im sure its very expensive to cover an entire facade with glass and have it then covered by a plastic sail skin half the time not even capitalizing on its crystal transparency. you cant even look out the windows to a clear view half the time.
@@ooDirtyMickoo You right. But you can’t deny the level of innovation this is. Yeah it’s essentially a giant crane taken from a port yard, but who would’ve guessed to integrate one of those with a building? I think it’s 8 years well spent developing something this cool.
@@LaSombraa yeah its very different. "diller and scofidio", the firm responsible for the shed, is probably one of the most creative arch firms around. you should check out their "blur building."
they actually made an entire building into a vapor cloud and had a water tasting bar on the roof. theyve always been innovative, clever, and funny.
i was really only responding to it being niche. i doubt "the shed" is a building that "will be in other big cities as well." its pretty exceptional and only really applicable to this site context and program type.
What does it cost to move 'the shed' in and out. How much maintenance will it need. I assume it's better to leave it out stationary.
I know a roofed football stadium with a moveable pitch. The idea was to play futbol on sundays and have other events during the week. The maintenance involved with regularly moving the pitch was such that they only use it in the summer and winter break periods...
I reckon it might be the same with the Shed. If it will be used regularly, it is better to leave it out ...
Really cool presentation of the building with the computer visualisations and physical demonstrations with the model
Another cultural institution build amongst apartments starting at $4000 a month. Very nice, we have no money for affordable housing on and off Manhattan but we have money to build moveable buildings for the upper class.
R RQ I am going to guess you aren’t making your own money and is living on parents’ dime.
What's your point? You want them to put a large waste disposal facility there so the real estate price drops on this nice piece of land originally reserved for the Olympics?
ties pau How about some nice affordable housing so middle class can also enjoy the museums and concert halls nearby?
@@Peizxcv but how would they do that? Isn't it the location that makes the rent so high, and not the large floorspace or the luxury materials used in the buildings? Because then the only way to make affordable housing is to make really small dwellings
ties pau I am talking about the event hall. The city could have easily require the developer to allocate more space to affordable housing by letting the developer build one more building there. The developer would still do it because they still make tons.
Incredible!!! Just incredible!
4:02 chip in the wheel no big deal
i saw that and gasped. hopefully thats a wheel mock up.
It's the paint finish, not the casting.
Paint...
Flat tire
Idk that paint looks like a chip in the wheel, or is it a chip in the wheel that looks like paint?
Really smart stuff. More of this in my city.
Truly amazing
it looks great! nice vessel.
incredible
That’s incredible!
An incredible building!
This is innovative.
That is very lit indeed
So this buildings shell got gore-tex on it
this building si beyond effin cool
This is really clever
innovative technology.
Excellent vision. Well executed.
When I read the title I mistook it for the Shard in London. Oops, my bad!
Nice use of sacred geometry.
Anyone got any idea what that analysis program they used is called?
I want to know too!
It’s not Robot?
Dont think its real.. just some graphics from a artist to make it look cool
@@BarManFesteiro i swear architects try to make things look scientific only for graphic representation and client manipulation. im sure the airflow and temp kind of work as shown in the diagram at 3:22, but if its just a graphic artist rendering and not a wholly accurate test with accurate temps and airflows thats really irritating.
anyone know what software program they used at 3:21 ?
Love it
At 6:06 they use a Kidrobot Munny figure 😊
somebody once told me world is gonna roll me i aint the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead
Can I get a quick meal now?
Esteban Peral yes
Are there jacks to take the load off the bearings when the shed is not moving?
That's a good question. I wonder how often the shed will move as well, and if the positions are variable or only binary.
Nice.
Welcome, to city17
👏👏👏👏👏 brilliant use of brainmagic❣️ 🙏😊🤓😍💖
what software for animation?
neat
How do you wash it?
super art
Much better than the vessel lie.
yo guys what foundation are u usin
Genius
I dreamt this shit before, holy moly
I think it will not get closed because it has so many functions when it is deployed, so little when it's closed.
Can’t wrap my head around how we come up with these things
You worked on it?
What software was used to make the wall animations move up?
Milk Chubby i think it was revit and maybe an attachment?
you might want to use the material in the staff uniforms
was just there
Interesting.
I wonder what happens if it catches strong wind?
It just flex’s. That’s why they used the material on the outside.
Wwwwaaauuuuu como amo a los gloriosos EEUU.
Kendall's birthday in Succession is over here!
look out!!!!! it's coming right at you!
What is someone gets crushed by the moving wheel?
Hope not, but it's a possibility
3:27
I've been saying it wrong for so long.
I ❤️ NYC for the sheer genius -- enlightenment in architecture/design comes from enlightened clients.
When someone asks me about my shed
Idea of plot of land in NYC : air above railyard.
This project is above a railyard
@@PhilippeLarcher Sh!t, that is what I'm saying, man!
She said where all the Omens come in?
What software was used for design and structural analysis?
san4ela2b07 if you have to ask you cant afford it...
It looks cool, which half the battle when trying to keep a city exciting, but this suffers from that silly notion of “I put in a roll-out wall, so now this 1 room is now 4 rooms!” It is just a cool looking umbrella
Here's a bowl of pasta for you 🍝
I’m interested in building a steel fabrication workshop with this concept. Please direct me to an engineer and or architect to work with me to accomplish my goal.
I legit-ly clicked the link the thumbnail because I thought they turn shed into a true restaurant! Hahaha :D
“One of the problems with architecture is that it’s geo-fixed and permanent”. Yeah man, I fucking hate that my house doesn’t roll around. Fuck architecture!
ETFE is cool... but flammable.
ETFE are Fire Resistant
its used prominently in insulation areas in aerospace.
Did anyone else kind of freak
out when they saw the Charlotte Gainsbourg stage!?
ummm... no.
Thought you were talking about the fake restaurant the Verge reporter set up
Moveable Megastructure
If most of the time you need it open, what's the point of making movable?
There are some outdoor activities. That take up space outdoors
@@Hawktotalwar you can simply keep the shed open and do the activities. Having a open structure protecting people from weather is always helpful.
What about rust??
shush !
Why 360p lmao
i thought Tig Notaro (?) changed her profession.
New York seems very proficient with thermite
It's incredible don't get me wrong, but I don't see a purpose in closing it..
Close it when the property tax assessor comes by
@@bradw8529 Lol
Yeah cause its not a park, just concrete
When it's closed during summer it helps thermal control. Thus reducing energy consumption in air conditioner
Marcos Yudi Kimura why would it close during summer? I mean thats when school is out and people are doing more cultural things.
M
Why
The design (moveable top) is a fault. They have used transparency material, so the public can enjoy the space even when the top has been moved to the closed position. The venue just needs to allow access to part of the ground floor. Problem solved! The ceiling of it is high(4 stories), it should be a nice space. This makes the move-able feature of the top redundant. The money can be recycled into making Arts (instead).
Hopefully it works well over the years without staggering maintenance costs. It looks like a gimmick. How well will this work in 200 years?
200 years ha ha ha, most new buildings have a life expectancy of 50 years, this one will probably fall apart in about 20
Sadly, I suspect you’re right. We should build buildings that last for generations.
@@-hernandez685 with our current technology I don't think that is a good idea. In 50 years these buildings will be outdated and making them easy to assemble and disassemble as we please should be a better option. We don't live in the dark ages anymore, in 25 years we have progressed more than romans did in 500 years, when buildings were supposed to stand still for a long time.
Meist Syans We should build with nature instead of against it. We should consider the carbon footprint of our architecture. Despite our technology the passions, and physical needs of our species remain. I don’t think disposable architecture is the answer. But this kind of architecture is fun, shiny, and new. The Shed would definitely look great on Instagram 😃
@@-hernandez685 that's literally the point of making them easier to dissemble. Our technology will be much better in some decades. So now it'll be easier to modify them and make them more efficient, greener, with zero emissions or even carbon negative. Easier to recycle materials and stop digging and depleting so many resources.
next step: tear down the vessel
Humidity in New York is crazy. It will destroy the building.
Elaborated please
@@Dim.g0v What would you want me to elaborate on?
@@ItsAFamilyThing How's is humidity in New York crazy and how will it destroy the building?
Its A Family Thing it they use glass and galvanized or painted or coated metal it won’t rust. Humidity doesn’t stop Miami from existing does it?
3:39 is that rust on the rails?
This isn’t really a remarkable thing for humanity. It’s nice that America is finally getting good stuff, but this concept exists in other places, such as the Tachinebuta museum in Goshogawara, Aomori, Japan. The front of the building slides aside to let the giant floats be pulled out.
Figure it out, America. We aren’t a 1st world nation who develops the latest concepts and inventions anymore.
360p gang
Keep in mind that this was funded / built by a Russian Olygark and his wife (Roman Abramovich / Dasha Alexandrovna Zhukova ), what can go wrong with that ???
Interesting technology but to me this looks funny becuase it looks like a giant white sofa.
Building, maintaining, operating and providing safety for a vehicle of that size so that you can make a theater go away and make a museum dark inside is not actually a great idea.
cool design, but the name got to go.. since it is a public space and it can be customized to any event and open to the public and better name like Our Space sounds better and more inviting than the shed... 'our' is a possessive term and would give visitors the feeling of it is theirs since their taxes paid for it
Just . . . no. It bugs me. Don't know why.
No steel, glass, or concrete now in new york. How tf is this gunna get built?
Wtf this already is built
I C it’s already built dude
That plastic will yellow and crack in the sun.
My university just used it for it's new building. Let's hope not lol
It may move with the power of one Prius engine, but I can only imagine the massive use of energy to design and fabricate such a senselessly complicated structure. This thing is going to look about as stupid as those amphibious cars from the 1950s in 25 years. Either make a building or a train, don’t make a building on giant train wheels. 🤦🏻♀️
Waste of plot imo
Too bad for that corny vessel.
Wait for the first hailstorm that flimsy roof will last about 5 seconds
damn you should probably call them to warn them, they definitely didn't think of that
While we’re building a shed the Chinese are building 2000 ft tall unique skyscrapers 🏙.
Where is all this money coming from?
Seems absolutely pointless. Just make a building in that space and be done with it. It actually seems like a waste of space. They mention absolutely no reason for a need to conserve space for this design. The outside area isn't used for anything else.
Gggggaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!
Tf
too bad it's in hudson yards near the vessel, the ugly, privacy invasive wastebasket of a "tourist attraction"
this building is still geo-fixed, no?
I swear, New York has got to stop making these weird buildings or else it will end up as ugly as London.
Weird? Its 2019, what do you want new buildings to be made out of brick?
@@discomillenium8850 Ew, no. I mean, some of the modern skyscrapers in New York are gorgeous. It's just those specific smaller buildings such as the ones shown in the video are too weird-looking. Their weird shapes remind me of the modern buildings in London...
@@frozengeese9291 idk normal is boring
@@frozengeese9291 buildings like these are the future.
This is one of the ugliest monstrosities that will be ever build. Not wonder why people don't want to be seen around buildings like this ugly thing they want to build!
What a waste of money.
There are homeless people in New York and you spend public money on this? I would choose to have less dead homeless people over a nice building, give me my tax back so I can spend it that way, horrible people!
Can't you think about the job opportunities and money this can bring to the city? People need to WORK, they don't need more charitable programs than they already have. I do think we should invest more in education for our children, so they don't end up as homeless.
How is it that illegal people, who are +60 years old can find work and people who are on the streets, mostly citizens and young, can't get it together?
If you really want to help people, do it, you don't need back your taxes.
I am so glad they invested this money on culture rather than wasting it to a loss cause. I'll be glad to visit it and enjoy the shows one day, while you look at it with bitterness.
Job opportunities for elitist hipsters, if you wanna talk about opportunity lets talk about how much of a chance in life most homeless people had, none, that's how much.
If you redistribute wealth, you redistribute opportunity, why not give it to those who had none, rather then to those who have had lots, these people could also contribute if they had a chance.
Your only so defensive because you see there is some truth in what I say.
@@arkatub haha you just decided to ignore my whole comment about illegals, who are over 60 and speak zero English, finding job oportunities and living decently. I've travel cities around this country and others. You know what I see in most homeless people? Cigars, joints, beer bottles. You know how many I've seen with a book? NONE. Libraries are free for all, I've only seen a homeless once there and you know what he was doing? Watching porn.
Yes, there are a few homeless who are really in that situation for horrible and uncontrollable causes, but guess what? They take advantage of the so many free things and social programs cities already offer, stand up and get out of it. One of my professors went through it and advanced.
We need to advance as a society. How do you want to live in a first world country, if you keep feeding this vicious circle? Whether you like it or not, as we advance, jobs will become more and more directed towards the "hipsters" you seem to despise, as the others become automatized. So either evolve or don't spread your hatred.
Do a search on RUclips for "homeless experiment", watch some videos, homeless people I've met are some of the kindest people.
The way you look down on them is disgusting, you don't see their potential, you just see them as a problem.
The real problem is a growing class of "educated" elites who are taking more then their fair share of the public pie, a pie that is contributed to by the rest of us who are actually tax positive.
@@arkatub most of them might be nice to talk to, I didn't say they are murderers, rapers, or robbers. They are just to comfortable in that position, and are not self driven to overcome that stage. I know they are not bad, for example, in Denver's civic center they are having so much fun, passing joints, laughing and singing. However, it's very difficult to take someone out of it, if they are not willing to do it themselves. Why waste money? They already have opportunities as I said so many times. Do you want the easy way to become rich? Not gonna happen.
I bet you've already been a host to a lot of them. Giving them some food, an opportunity to bath. Since you seem to look up so much to them.
I'm sorry, but I won't feel pity for someone who grew up in this country and is not taking advantage of it. I know many people who actually grew in poor countries as adults. Hard for them to learn a very hard language, face racism, and still were able to buy their houses overtime and some of them now travel around as retirees.
Note: I know not ALL homeless are like this, but let's not deny the majority are.
Note 2: I do agree with having a better tax system. Wealthy becoming stupidly wealthier shouldn't happen. However, giving it to waste causes is not a better option.
Weighs 8 million pounds, moves on wheels. What could go wrong!!!
What a waste
