Today's archidose #795

Here are some of my photos of Fulton Center (opened November 10, 2014) in New York City by Arup and Grimshaw Architects with the "Sky Reflector-Net" by James Carpenter Design Associates.

Corner of Fulton and Broadway with Corbin Building (corner of John and Broadway) on the right:

    1. Pretty much. They're one block from each other, Fulton Center on Broadway and PATH on Church Street. This diagram shows their proximity.

    1. Well, I'm sure you know the answer to that question, but keep in mind that the PATH station serves people in New Jersey, while the Fulton Center serves people in the rest of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Having an underground connection between the two is helpful. Having the two in one station might have been ideal, but that's a major transportation infrastructure ordeal rather than an architectural issue.
