NYC’sEast Side Access Projectcontinues apace , andthese recent images , taken last calendar month by MTA photographer Rehema Trimiew , show a whole raw opinion of the brain - boggling underground cavern now being constructed beneath Manhattan . From raw walls of exposed geology to this , the space is finally convey on the facial expression and feel of architecture .
Like some unacknowledged installation by creative person Olafur Eliasson — known for , among other things , his all - yellowRoom for onecolour — the results are a colossal , other - secular chamber populated by tiny human forms and diminutive digging machines . The fact that , in existent life , this mechanical equipment would itself be the scale of measurement of a small construction only betoken the massive and dream - like scale of measurement of this station .
The titanic yellow adeptness — its walls secured behind waterproofing geotextiles that will , of course , eventually be cover over altogether , meaning that this surreal jaundiced scene is just a irregular state — is on the Grand primal side of the task , and will be part of a huge new underground terminal increasing entree for the Long Island Railroad . It is also just one of the many other , ongoingworkstunneling away beneath the surface of the city .
