The below image, taken from a video still, shows a rendering of Related’s Hudson Yards project. The rendering would appear to be old given the most recently released plans for the site, but it is something different than any rendering released so far.
Whether this becomes the project’s ultimate design or not (likely not), the towers looks extremely futuristic. The proportions of the South Tower, shrunk from previous designs, enhance the dominance of the much larger North Tower. Even in this image the South Tower appear to be roughly 700 feet tall, with the North Tower larger than 1,000 feet.
Do you prefer the Blade Runner-like futurism of the below rendering or do you prefer the images that are likely the actual plan? Even though it’s likely a discarded plan, it’s nice to see all the options that could have been built, and this certainly would have been one of the better ones.
