Completed
The
historic "High Line" is an abandoned stretch of elevated railway,
now the focus of urban designers from around the world. The mile-and-a-half-
(2.4-kilometer-) long structure runs from 34th Street through Chelsea to the
Meat Packing District. Built between 1929 and 1934, the freight spur served
the West Side until 1980. It is now inactive, covered in wildflowers (some would
say "weeds"), and crying out for attention.

Phase
Focusing
on the High Line elevated rail
viaduct as a site of research and speculation
for new architecture in New York City.
The
High Line travels through Hudson Yards –
the major planning focus of this City’s
administration.
It
is of course an ideal
site for a new elevated park; however, the
proposition of this project is to look more
broadly and more specificallay at the High
Line as a generative NETWORK STRUCTURE
rather than an historic artifact.
