Designed by the New York firm of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the unprepossessinglyunscheinbarunprepossessingly named “Shed” is taking shape on 30th Street — right where the High Line meets a big building project called Hudson Yards. The Shed’s most exciting aspect is a “nestinghier: ineinander verschachteltnesting” effect, The New York Times reports: The structure’s transparent outer shell can be rolled away from the permanent part, doubling the floor space and creating a performance hangar on what is otherwise an outdoor plaza. The Shed is due to open in 2019.
