This is the structure, which is located near the entrance. The photos illustrate the structure’s tree (Japanese Pine Tree) resemblance. Various materials were utilized to emphasize each part’s distinct inspiration. The staircases, for instance, are wooden to convey and accentuate the trunk, while shipping container metal was used for the bases of each level to further the contrast and hint at the man-made aspect of the structure. Each level also demonstrates a modern interpretation of the elements found on a tree. The fence posts of level 1 and 2 display the angles at which branches protrude out; the design of the level 3, with its windows and roof opening out and a lower level seating area, mimics the outgrowth of flowers; level 4, on the other hand, portrays the chaos of a bird’s nest. The juxtaposition of the materials used in each level further depicts the integration of natural and artificial elements into the structure’s design. Level 1 and 3 have concrete floors while level 2 and 4 have grass floors. Level 1, 3, 4 are all enclosed with metal, as well as glass for level 3. Level 2’s fence, however, is made out of wood. In essence, this structure hopes to produce an intimate and social atmosphere. With the inclusion of different levels, each space becomes small enough for only a few people to relax in thus creating a relatively quiet place. With the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood, these calm areas would be a very helpful addition. However, with the staircases to link each level, people will never feel that isolated – up or down a few steps and they can easily socialize with other visitors. The structure also aims to provide a panoramic view of the New York City skyline. The varying elevation gives visitors different angled views of the city. Similarly the differing directions the spaces face creates a specific frame for the scenery. Taken overall, however, visitors still receive a 360-degree view of the environment.
