New York firm LOT-EK has been selected to design Pier 57 as part of New York City’s Hudson River Park development. The proposal, a team effort with developer Young Woo & Associates, foresees a rooftop park crowning a small shopping center of local artisan stores built with recycled shipping containers.

The proposal also includes plans for a contemporary culture center with spaces for exhibitions, galleries, auctions, and entertainment.

Pier 57 occupies a high visibility location in Chelsea at West 15th Street and West Street (Route 9A), at the western edge of the Meat Packing District.

This is really underwhelming. Arquitectum recently held a competition for a 'pier museum' in Miami which had some inspirational ideas. LOT-EK should try harder.

don't they get bored from using those containers? it's a bit too 1-dimensional. pier-water-harbour-ships-containers-building

There is a reason that piers sticking out into the river don't have basements.

This would be mildly interesting if it was even remotely grounded in reality.

A shopping center? Seriously? Lift your head up from the screen. The consumer economy is dead, bro.

consumerism in america dead? i don't think so, brah.
have you even been to that side of town? what was once a dodgy and hooker infested area is joining this marvelous thriving metropolis. You can now fully enjoy walking from the West village, into Greenwich village, into NoHo, SoHo, NoLita, and end your day at the Liquor Bar across from some LTL project in the lower east side. Edge to edge. Shopping may not be what we need but on that side of town, I know for a fact, that its for local designers and artisans. Plus its close to all the gay stuff, right on.
