NEW YORK CITY-The Municipal Art Society of New York announced Thursday the launch of its design challenge for a new Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Four well-known local design firms will re-envision Penn Station and Madison Square Garden.
The four firms, Santiago Calatrava, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, SHoP Architects and SOM, will have until May 29 to complete the challenge. MAS will hold a public unveiling of their work at an event at the TimesCenter (242 West 41st St.) on May 29th. The event will be open to the public, but registration is required.
These four companies were chosen because of their wide ranging experience on complicated urban sites—from the Highline in Chelsea to a new arena linked to a subway station in downtown Brooklyn, to the World Trade Center site—in addition to large infrastructure projects all over the world, according to the announcement.
