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.
