A Tour of NYC's Newest Subway Station With Its Architect
New York City's 469th subway station opened last week, extending the 7 line to 34th Street-Hudson Yards. It is New York's first new station in 25 years, and has been a 13-year project for a team of designers led by WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff. Dattner Architects served as the urban designer and design architect for the station, and I had the opportunity to tour the station with Beth Greenberg, principal in charge, and Emily Kotsaftis, project architect, from Dattner, to take a closer look at some of the subtle decision-making behind the light, bright, and (for now) disorientingly roomy station.
