In 2016, Heatherwick's design for the Vessel structure at Hudson Yards' Public Plaza in New York City was unveiled.
The structure is in the form of a network of interlocking staircases that visitors can climb up, and its design was inspired by the ancient stepwells of India.
It has 2,500 steps in 154 flights of stairs, equivalent to 15 storeys, and it has 80 viewing landings.
Construction began in April 2017, and it opened on 15 March 2019.
