Today's archidose #716
As promised when I posted photos of Santiago Calatrava's PATH - West Concourse (2013) in New York City, here are some of my photos of the glass pavilion at Brookfield Place (2013) by Pelli Clarke Pelli. Situated up a flight of escalators at the west end of the PATH concourse, the pavilion makes a transition between the World Trade Center site and Battery Park City's World Financial Center and Winter Garden further west.
The approach from the West Concourse:
The escalator arrival:
The tree-like, bundled columns on either side of the escalators come into view on ascent:
The "tree" on the south:
The "tree" on the north:
Another view of the "tree" on the south:
Looking east from under the mezzanine:
Looking east again, with the World Trade Center site beyond:
A closer look at the east-facing wall:
Note the man looking up as he descends the escalator:
This is his view (of 1 World Trade Center):
Another view of 1WTC, this time from the walkway adjacent to the glass wall:

Not a very exciting sight... I find they should have done something to express the points of contact between structure and floor/ceiling. It's just flat...
