- 6. May 2003,James Corner Field Operations with Diller Scofidio + Renfro competed against 720 teams from 36 countries to win the infrastructure conversion project of the New York City High Line. More than half a decade later, the High Line’s transition to a public park is almost complete. On June 8th, architects, elected officials, and advocates watched as Mayor Michael Bloomberg cut the ceremonial red ribbon, officially announcing the opening of the first of three sections.
- 7. Inspired bythe wild seeded landscape left after the line had been abandoned, the team created a paving system that encourages natural growth which creates a ‘pathless’ landscape. ”Through a strategy of agri- tecture - part agriculture, part architecture – the High Line surface is digitized into discrete units of paving and planting which are assembled along the 1.5 miles into a variety of gradients from 100% paving to 100% soft, richly vegetated biotopes,” explained DS + Renfro. This undefined and unobtrusive environment allows the public to meander and experience the park as they wish

Site and Contextand Design Idea Site and Context * 3 distinctive neighborhoods * Threat of demolition * Opportunistic landscape began to grow * Site itself provided the inspiration * Intimate Scale *Feeling of being more removed from the big city Design Idea * As an ambitious urban reclamation project * preserve and recycle * Politically, Ecologically, Historically, Socially, and Economically Sustainable * Community activism * 6-acre green roof * Retrofit project * Neighborhood and world-class park * generate revenue, attract businesses, and stimulate local economic growth
- 17. Design Elements andImpact and Inspiration Design Elements * Wild and dynamic landscape * Industrial and robust materials * Plantings, furnishing, paving, lighting and utilities were conceived and built as one system * Embedding the rail tracks directly into the paving system Impact and Inspiration * Revitalization of Manhattan's West Side * Catalyst for investment * Population increase * Building permits around the High Line doubled * Iconic and specific to its place * Feasibility of replicating in other cities.

Connecting rail easement to within manhattan to be preserved. 2. public benefit. open leisure spaces. 3.Unique Linear experience of NY experience 4.Strengthening Community - LandValue, Revenue Learnings 1. Example of successful urban public space creation 2. The cultural and historical continuity is made through the rediscovery of the space 3. Sensible Incorporation of Landscape urbanism 4. Innovative adaptability of existing infrastructure
- 29. conclusion *The Highline alters the city park paradigm by engaging the visitor in a densely urbanexperience of an elevated post-industrial re-use space while utilizing a naturalistic plantingaesthetic *By attempting to replicate a “wild” nature, it alters the idea of nature that visitors have intheir own imaginations.«Such an attempt to simulate wilderness feeds a new virtual reality of the garden; it fuels themind to both remember past and anticipate future imaginings and challenge the presentunderstandings and expectations of nature. *The High Line disguises the Picturesque with the smoke and mirrors of a “naturalizedlandscape,” making it more difficult for people to understand what ecological quality lookslike.
