PHAIDON The High Line 美國紐約空中花園 高線公園

“The High Line is now recognized as an important and distinctive asset to the city: an urban event operating on many scales – a new way of seeing the city, a connector to different and previously separate neighborhoods, an important green space within the local neighborhood, and a new model for the ‘greening’ of the urban environment.” — World-Architects

 

Since opening to the public in 2009, the High Line has rapidly become one of New York City's most popular and beloved attractions. James Corner Field Operations is the lead designer for the High Line, the transformation of an unusual 1.2-mile long abandoned elevated railway into a new public open space and linear park along the west side of Manhattan. The High Line as a precedent urban park promotes timely and relevant principles of ecological sustainability, urban regeneration and reuse and conservation over new construction.

 

Phaidon's bestselling The High Line was the first book to document the creative process behind this remarkable architectural achievement comprehensively from concept to completion. Seven chapters offer a multidimensional perspective from the minds behind the iconic structure. Now back in print, and featuring over 1,000 images, including drawings and plans, this visual masterpiece captures the High Line's very essence.
