The Vessel is Back! After three years of closure, New York City’s iconic Vessel has partially reopened in 2024—and we at MEW are proud to have played a role in its transformation!

We were entrusted with the parametric modeling of the innovative net-cable system that now surrounds the entire structure, designed to enhance safety while preserving the Vessel’s striking aesthetics. Our challenge? Minimize structural impact so that the breathtaking geometry of the Vessel remains the star.

Using advanced parametric design, we developed a highly detailed model of the entire cable-net structure, enabling precise fabrication and installation of every single component. The result? A seamless integration that ensures safety without compromising beauty.

Next time you’re in NYC, take a look up—you’ll see our work subtly protecting one of the city’s most mesmerizing landmarks!
