Culture Shed

The shed is a visual and performing arts building at the north end of the Highline in the new Hudson Yards development. Currently under construction, when completed the expandable "shed" cover - a steel superstructure wrapped in ETFE foil pillows - will slide to enclose a plaza for many different types of events. We at LED did structural calculations and thermal analysis for facade details and the grand entrance doors by Bator.
