Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about Ford Foundation Atrium | Jungle under glass

Yes, admission is free but requires prior registration on the official Ford Foundation website before 5:00 PM the day before. Access is not allowed without prior reservation.
No. For security reasons, suitcases and large bags are not allowed. A security scan is performed upon entry and only small handbags or compact backpacks are permitted.
Although it is a quiet place, it is not designed as a co-working space. It is ideal for short readings and contemplation, but security staff may request discretion if video calls or extensive work are being carried out.
Being a closed space with capacity control through reservations, it is the perfect bunker against outside noise. It's one of the few places in Midtown where the sound of horns and crowds completely disappears under its glass ceiling.

The soul of this experience

The Ford Foundation Atrium is the architectural response to the chaos of Manhattan. In the Space Journey ecosystem, this node symbolizes “Protective Architecture”. Upon entering, the change in temperature and humidity immediately transports you to a living forest. In the Solarpunk aesthetic, it represents the perfect symbiosis: a building that breathes next to its garden. It is a place of almost sacred silence where the overhead light bathes the leaves of the magnolias and ferns, reminding us that the future of urbanism is green or it will not be.

What will you find along the way?

Este jardín interior no es solo una decoración; es un ecosistema con su propio microclima. El diseño original de Dan Kiley, renovado por Raymond Jungles, incluye una sección sensorial con plantas elegidas por sus texturas y aromas, accesible para personas con discapacidad visual. El atrio cuenta con un estanque que refleja la estructura de acero corten y el cielo de Nueva York. Es un espacio de justicia social y ambiental donde el acceso al aire limpio y la belleza natural se consideran derechos fundamentales. Un refugio ideal para leer, meditar u observar cómo la ingeniería del siglo XX se rinde ante la fuerza de la naturaleza.

Security level

Level: Maximum (Corporate Security). The building has strict security controls. Pre-registration online and presentation of a valid ID is required to enter. The environment is extremely safe and controlled, ideal for visitors looking for an incident-free space in the city center.

Accessibility and mobility

Grade: Platinum. This is one of the most accessible spaces in NYC. It has dedicated lifts and wheelchair ramps on all levels of the garden. Additionally, its sensory section is designed specifically for the visually impaired, with Braille signage and tactile floors.

Golden Spot Tips

The Sensory Path. Head to the lower level of the atrium where the sensory section is located. Here, the sound of water and the aroma of wet earth create a unique immersive atmosphere. It is the perfect point to capture the immensity of the glass ceiling while surrounded by tropical flora.
