High Line
Diller Scofidio + Renfro
- Outline
- This 2.4-km long linear park utilizes an abandoned elevated freight line completed in 1934. The design blurs the boundary between the pavement and the green soil, blurring the artificial and the wild, and creating a "pathless" landscape that visitors can walk around at their own pace. The design blurs the boundary between man-made and wild landscapes. The park's 9-meter-high vantage point overlooking the city, the continuous space uniquely designed with art, plantings, and structures, and the diverse programs and performances combine to create a rich strolling experience that is both serene and lively. On the other hand, it has also brought about the problem of gentrification caused by the soaring land prices in the surrounding area.
