Love this concept @duy-phan - it was on my list for possible things to be done 
We build on the ground, spreading horizontally. We go up to save space on the ground and now it is the time to think about the space between towers… about the air rights and what we can do with that.
Looking forward to seeing where you take this!
Thanks, Ronen, Glad you like the concept.
Let’s see if what I come up with coincidentally match the possible concept from your list then! 
Update March 28 - Locking The Frames
Hi everyone, It is really exciting to see we are having many great work updates for the competition at this stage!
Getting back to the proposal update today, I would like to share the frames locking phase for my work. Below are five potential compositions set up for the ARM, which are named from 1 to 5 accordingly.
At this stage, I haven’t developed the context due to waiting for the frames to be locked. I hope by doing this I could save more time later on after I know where my focal points are and which part of the frame I shouldn’t put too many details.
I will try to explain why I came up with these five frames one by one. Feel free to give your comment below if you see anything that could be improved!
Frame 01
In the year 2040, I would like to portrait the future intervention of the ARM on Hudson Yards skyline. By giving a hint of those edges on the famous Vessel, It is really hard to misunderstand where this place is. Following the introduce for the context, to show how the design connects and unites the giant building, being the frame main actor, the ARM is highlighted on the sky by bouncing light of the direct sun behind. The people figure is placed at the corner to convey a sense of scale and depth for the image.
Frame 02
The concept behind Frame 02 is placing the ARM immersive in the urban context of Hudson Yards. Not only physically connects with the skyscrapers but visually connects with lower New York urban fabric. Such connection could frame a new sky for ground-walkers and break the blankness in between those towers for the sky-walkers.
Frame 03
Hudson Yards visitors will never miss the chance to get inside the Vessel and look up. The moment their eyes reach further those unique staircases, they will see the ARM spanning above, looping from one to another building, encouraging them to discover New York skyline after finishing the streetline.
Frame 04
Once reaching the bridge, the outdoor view is framed by the floor and roof will help capture the experience of a sky-walker, standing and looking at the EDGE with the city fabric covering the background. The continuous linear language is repeated from the inside but divided by the depth of space, by people placing.
Frame 05
Focusing on the touch of the intervention and the current existence, Frame 05 rises the view level to nearly meet the ARM. At this high, with more details where;s needed, it could show how the circulation happens and express better the structure of the ARM from a closer look but don’t forget to include New York downtown context from far behind.
As the amount of submitted renderings is limited, Three of these five will be selected for further development in the next stage. I am still on the fence at the moment, if you have any advice for selecting the three images please let me know in the comment below, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Warm Regards,
Duy Phan
@duy-phan this is an impressive update and I love the style you picked to present these compositions… they stand on their own as is no matter what you do next
You can literally call this project the SKYLINE.
It is both that and a hint or counterpart to the Highline below…
Pick your main three but know that you can add extra shots as much as you like.
Thanks @ronen
That would even help this project is more site related and at the same time contrast with the HIGHLINE below! Seems like a brilliant name, isn’t it! 
Sounds great! I’ll spend a bit of time to consider main images and get back to the extras later on! 
The Rendering and idea is really beautiful! Love the frames! Eagerly awaiting to see how the final look will be!
OH MY GOD, these visuals look so good in themselves! I mean this is a killer concept, and now the mooooood. I’m so excited to see the progress, when the details kick in, oh boy do we have a winner!
Thanks @KartikLak Glad you like the frames! 
Let me know if you have any thought on choosing three out of five? 
Regards,
Duy Phan
Thank you for your kind words @Mustafa_H Appreciate it! 
Is there any particular frames from those five you think are better than the rest in terms of telling the idea behind?
Best,
Duy Phan
Ya! Frame 1 , 4 and 5. I love these frames because of the perspective!
Frame 1 - Gives a overall Idea and look.
Frame 4 - Gives a view from inside for better understanding.
Frame 5 - Highlights the addition.
Hello @duy-phan
This representation is really beautiful!! Nice concept!!
Surely I would also do “4” so in addition to the context you can narrate it’s use in detail. Nice frame!!
Domenico
Frame 1 , 4 and 5 look amazing. Great composition
Cool concept Duy. Interested to see how you portray the context. props!
Hello Duy-Phan,
Your concept presentation is great! Fantastic choose for colours and mood! Keep on with the great work.
Have you spent some time what will be developed on the ground level? Is there going to be any connection between the ground level and the upper living?
Cheers,
Stefan
Thanks for asking @StefanDimitrov 
The connection of the ARM and its audience from the ground level will be a visual connection. If you are saying about directly looking up from the Hudson Blvd plaza, it’s mirrored by the Highline from the bottom to the top of our skyscrapers. Being an accessible skywalk platform for the people who visit the place and for those who are settling in can expand their neighbor network further than their adjacent apartments in the same building!
In a larger context, Playing a role as a major city not only for the US but globally, NYC and many other cities such as London, Paris, Shanghai or Tokyo, in every cycle of 5 to 7 years they will put their names on worldwide news by marking a new landmark addition. So when you stand far away, from the other side of the Hudson river bank and looking back, on the city skyline, there will be an aerial canvas where New York once again welcomes another iconic structure on its famous horizon in 2040!
I hope this makes sense! 
Regards,
Duy Phan
Hello Duy-Phan,
Thank you for your response.
All of these landmark additions to the cities are really great elements for the future development and also cultural connections.
It is amazing how the mind begins thinking in so many different lines. The best thing about this is that we are always aiming to create something better in the serve of people.
Cheers,
Stefan
