The newly opened Hudson Yards is a complex dripping in prestige, and although Snarkitecture hasn’t designed any of the high-rise structures, it has gained the spotlight by way of Snark Park. It’s a venue on the premises where the New York City-based design practice showcases a rotation of its own installations, captured by theme park-like environment. The inaugural show, entitled Lost and Found, offers an interactive design environment that invites visitors to navigate a unique world. The installation comprises of 90 massive cylinders, forming an immersive monochromatic landscape, reminiscent of a modern day enchanted forest. Visitors are encouraged to get lost within the labyrinth of columns and encounter intimate, secret worlds hidden within several of them. Some spaces are large enough to occupy, while others are intended to be viewed from outside, each experience is a unique exploration of materials, activities and memorable shifts in perspective.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
