WXY Architecture是在纽约中央车站项目中第三个也是最后一个公布方案的，他们设计了一座380米高的摩天楼和一个高架交通循环网络。WXY与Foster + Parters 和 SOM一样，都是由纽约艺术协会邀请来，审视纽约中央车站这座百年历史的建筑内部与周围的空间，并提出未来发展的战略。SOM的方案以浮动的观景环为特色，Foster + Partners的方案是加宽车站周围的道路。同Foster + Partners一样，WXY也提出将范德比克街一侧改造成步行街，在街道上方，空中走廊将围绕着250米高的大都会保险大厦而建。设计师将空中走廊比喻为指挥台，以透明的玻璃体为特色，内部陈设季节性植物，增加了自行车道、人行道还有一些可以供人们停下来思考的空间。设计师在这个方案中对于市中心区的近期构想是使中央车站周围成为一个人们愿意停留的地方，而不仅仅是匆匆经过。新的摩天楼将建在车站的西侧，设计师提出的形式是一个棱锥形的建筑，几个空中花园从表面伸出来，令人眩目。所有这三个设计事务所提出的方案都由上周在纽约第三届年度MAS峰会上公布。

News: WXY Architecture are the third and final studio with plans for the future of New York’s Grand Central Terminal and have suggested a 380-metre skyscraper and a network of elevated cycling paths.Alongside other firms Foster + Parters and SOM， the architects were invited by the Municipal Art Society of New York to look at the public spaces in and around the 100-year-old station then come up with a strategy for the future.Like Foster + Partners， WXY Architecture proposes the pedestrianisation of Vanderbilt Avenue， above which an elevated deck would surround the base of the 250-metre-high MetLife Building.The architects refer to this deck as a “podium park”， which would feature transparent glass paving and seasonal plants， plus routes for cyclists and pedestrians and spaces to pause for reflection.“The plan for Midtown’s near future needs to make the Grand Central neighbourhood a place people enjoy being in not just running through，” said WXY’s Claire Weisz.The new skyscraper would be constructed to the west of the station and the architects have imagined a pyramidal structure with vertiginous gardens that protrude from the facade.All three architecture teams presented their proposals at the third annual MAS Summit for New York City last week.SOM’s design features a floating observation deck， while Foster + Partners’ plans are to widen approach routes.
