In the Space Journey universe, this node represents the \"Ascending Flow\". It is not just a sculpture; It is an exercise in collective perspective. In the Solarpunk narrative, it symbolizes the ability of cities to create new dimensions of public interaction where before there was only emptiness. Raising its levels is an act of self-improvement and a constant search for new horizons, reminding us that design can elevate not only our body, but our vision of the world.","description_body":"Located in the Public Square<\/em> of Hudson Yards, The Vessel welcomes you with its polished steel skin that reflects the sky and surrounding skyscrapers. As you enter its honeycomb structure, each of its 80 landings offers you a different view of Manhattan and the Hudson River. Following its recent security upgrade, the route integrates subtle steel mesh that, far from hiding sight, adds a layer of technical protection that reinforces its identity as a safe space for urban exploration. It is the perfect complement to your passage through the High Line, culminating in a crescendo of geometry and light.","audio_guide_en":"","audio_guide_es":"","audio_guide_duration":"","image_2":5617,"image_3":5619,"image_4":5621,"image_5":5623,"origin_point":"40.75380, -74.00220","curated_waypoints":"40.75360, -74.00180 | 40.75390, -74.00150","destination_point":"40.75380, -74.00220","latitude_start":"40.75380","longitude_start":"-74.00220","golden_spot_lat":"40.75380","golden_spot_lng":"-74.00220","golden_spot_tips":"The Vortex from the Base.<\/strong> Before going up, stand exactly in the center of the base and look up.
