Cables

The concept model had cables, it's time to bring them back.





































Stringing the cables from the mast, to the edge of the upper slab, and then to the edge of the lot, allows them to be structure and space defining elements. Slabs can be suspended from them, but they also demarcate the space. The cables are visible from the windows of the building and to passers-by referencing the nearby Brooklyn Bridge and Seaport without mimicking them. They even pass through the slanted element. This allows the possibility for some very exciting spaces inside.
