For the PEOPLE

One of the latest contributions to New York City’s Public parks truly carries within it the democratic spirit. Designed by Deconstructivist architects Diller +Scofidio, the High Line is akin to the humor and joy of the Park de LaVilette.

And much like Mitterand’s City of Light program for Paris, the High Line exemplifies a Utopian ideal; evident in the re-purposing of dead infrastructure for use as a public park that winds through a dense urbane backdrop.
