The sensorium aims to highlight various states of water and ways energy can be harnessed, specifically from steam and water movement. The space itself provides repose from the climate and commotion of the city – both by providing thermal regulation and space for discovery. Through levels of added humidity and steam, the space is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. As an expansion of park space, each membrane and atmosphere pushes into the next, generating areas for revelation and serenity, beginning at Union Square and entering the underbelly of 1 Union Square West.
