Queens Boulevard Viaduct — 46th Street 7-train Station; Sunnyside, Queens, NY

One of the resonant spaces that inspired this project is the Queens Boulevard IRT (7 train) Viaduct. Completed in 1917, the viaduct runs for an eighth of a mile along the center of Queens Boulevard between 32nd Pl. and 47th Street. Its most defining feature is the hundreds of arches with a mysterious resonance that changes from the center of each arch to their edges; at points the echoes overlap, propelling the resonance back and forth between each arch — something that can only be experienced to believe. This Resonant Space is a NYC treasure.
