Highline Design Finalists by Josh Rubin
The Highline is an elevated rail along a portion of 10th Avenue in NYC. It was built in the 1930s and closed in 1980. Now, thanks to Friends of the Highline, the remaining elevated tracks are being converted to a park. Four finalists have been chosen in the competition to design the park. The teams will be exhibiting their visions at Center for Architecture July 16 - August 14, including a panel discussion July 15 at 6:00pm. Details here.

Save the TWA Terminal
2003.07.11 Manhattan User's Guide reported that Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal at JFK, that glorious, swooping, curvilinear icon, which proves that a building doesn't need great height in order to soar, is about to be destroyed by the Port Authority. 2003.11.06 Again via Manhattan User's Guide, news on the JFK TWA Terminal.
