The Hudson Yards Development Corporation (HYDC) is a not-for-profit entity created by the City of New York in 2005 to oversee the redevelopment of the Hudson Yards district, a 360-acre mixed-use site bordered by 42nd and 28th Streets and 8th Avenue and the Hudson River. To date, HYDC activities have included coordination with several NYC authorities, including the Department of Parks and Recreation, to design four acres of neighborhood green space.
With its MICD25 grant, HYDC will develop advanced design plans for Culture Shed, an innovative facility intended to serve as a cultural anchor for the Hudson Yards redevelopment. A collaborative effort by the leading architectural firms Diller Scofidio + Renfro and the Rockwell Group, Culture Shed is a five-story fixed building on a 22,000-square-foot site -- two deployable outer sheds that fit over the base can be rolled from their nested positions on tracks on the east and west sides of the base building resulting in an exhibition hall of more than 55,000 square feet. The new building will enhance the city's capacity to present a wide range of cultural programming and act as an integrated presenting space.
