Win(dow)Deck(work)



So I was bicycling along 5th Avenue the other day, looked up and saw this.


A half cylinder made entirely of glass about 15 stories up.

I wonder what it is?

Turns out it’s the work of a Professor at Cooper Union, a German architect named Georg Windeck.


Windeck studied sculpture at the University of the Arts in Berlin, and it shows.


His assignment was to join two floors for a client who purchased both, so he swiped a bit of space from the exterior terrace and installed a helical stairway.


Windeck

The results are very cool, I think. This ain’t your father’s staircase.

Windeck

The whole thing was fabricated in a shop and then flown up by crane.

Windeck

Waterproofing, the stair and rail plus a bit of flooring et... voila.

Windeck

Like sculpture from the street.


It overlooks the Guggenheim, too.


Nice.
