Overview

Visualization of Manhattan West's South Tower — massing, context, and construction sequencing across the active rail yards and platform. Produced within the AECOM Tishman visualization practice.

The Challenge

Building over live infrastructure demands a clear read of phasing and logistics. The work made the sequence understandable to non-technical stakeholders without diluting the engineering underneath.

Creative Direction

The narrative followed the platform-up logic of the site — establishing context, then revealing how the tower takes shape above a working transportation corridor.

Outcomes

  • Made a logistically complex over-build legible in a short cinematic sequence.
  • Supported executive and client communication for a flagship West Side development.
