2. Introduction

3. Location: the highline park, new york, united states of America

5. History

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 by the 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

12. Section and details

16. Site and Context and 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 and Impact 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.

25. What we learn
 Why Saving the High Line?
 1. 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 High line 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.
