Known as\u00a0<em>Pier 55<\/em>, the space&#8217;s platform would sit on top of the deteriorated Pier 54 supported by a forest of 300 blossoming pillars of varying heights. The two-and-a-half acre park would rise as much as 186 feet above the river&#8217;s surface and contain three performance venues, as well as provide a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The design is a collaboration between Thomas Heatherwick and Mathews Neilsen.
