Recycled, green, and chic. This is what sustainable design looks like now. The High Line, a former elevated freight railroad, is probably one of the most revolutionary public parks of New York. It’s a mile-and-a-half-long and is running through the West Side neighborhoods. The park features an integrated landscape, combining meandering concrete pathways with naturalistic plantings. The design is a patchwork of new and old, man-made and organic – a design in which nature is seamlessly integrated into the architecture. The High Line is designed by landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro. For more pictures, check out the photoalbums.
