Hudson Yards has become a new place that gravitates many people. It gains more attraction with the help of the High Line. As people start walking the High Line from the Whitney Museum and observe the beauty of nature and architecture, we end up in the Hudson Yards and greeted by many high rises. Each building has its logo and style. How do we know when it is too much architecture?

I have walked the High Line multiple time, and whenever I end up by the Hudson Yards I question my self “is this what a commercial architectural look like?” Each building costs billions upon billions of dollars to build and of course rant is not cheap either. This place becomes a new sinkhole for money. Should we stop building and focus on the well being of the old building? Many great architectures are surrounding the Hudson Yards and I believe the architectures are used to attract people to spend their money. This place becomes an architecture petting zoo. Buildings were built to make money, it makes me feels negative about architecture. Minimum designs were applied to the highrise. Architecture in NY is amazing, but many buildings were built for commercial purposes which often time don’t mean architecture to me.

Hudson Yards can be beautiful but in my view, it is a place where many resources were put in just for the sake of making money. Architecture becomes a tool for developers to make money. Turning away the possibility of design and focus on the speed.
