I came across this great train line redevelopment a few years ago while studying. Now, I’m revisiting anything to do with architecture and design in New York, in preparation of a holiday next year.
The High Line is an old raised train line in Manhattan. It was saved from demolition in 1999 and after much community involvement, is now an elevated public park.
We’re currently working on green roofs and green walls in the office – perhaps we could learn something from The High Line.

yea, i read about this a while ago – I think it’s fantastic what they did to it!
Am investigating different green roof systems that would work on lightweight structure in our Melbourne climate well – For a house in Ivanhoe. It’ll be at least as beautiful as the high line, I hope
