"The designs, developed by the architecture firms Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) and Arup, are intended to enhance the pedestrian experience while maintaining the required safety standards at construction sites and buildings undergoing facade work, Mayor Adams announced on Nov. 18, noting that the new models could begin appearing on sidewalks as early as next year. The designs include both light-duty and heavy-duty options that aim to increase natural light, reduce sidewalk obstruction, and better integrate into the surrounding streetscape."
"The Speed Shed, designed by PAU, is a light-duty structure built for rapid installation and short-term use. It features an angled roof with netting designed to allow more sunlight onto the sidewalk. The Rigid Shed, by Arup, is a heavy-duty model suited for major construction operations, including high-rise projects. Its design reduces the amount of sidewalk space occupied by columns and support structures."
Six new sidewalk shed designs by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) and Arup aim to replace green plywood construction sheds and scaffolding across five boroughs. Designs include light-duty and heavy-duty models that increase natural light, reduce sidewalk obstruction, and better integrate into streetscapes. The PAU Speed Shed is a rapid-install, short-term light-duty structure with an angled roof and netting to admit more sunlight. Arup's Rigid Shed is a heavy-duty option that minimizes column footprint for large projects. Additional models include PAU's Baseline and Wide Baseline, Arup's Air Shed with facade anchoring, and Arup's Flex Shed.
