Plus-shaped swimming pool in New York's East River gets green light

A floating swimming pool in the East River, New York, designed by creative studio PlayLab has been approved to continue with planning.
The open-air saltwater pool, called +Pool because it would be shaped like a plus, was designed by Los Angeles studio PlayLab over a decade ago.
Design collaborators Family, a New York-based studio, has since dissolved.
PlayLab developed a concept for the floating pool over ten years ago
Non-profit organisation +Pool was co-founded by Playlab's Archie Lee Coa
