Highline Park in New York City
Many years ago it was a railroad of roughly 21km spanning across the lower east side of Manhattan but in 2009 it has been renovated into an elevated park for the public. For the sake of heritage conservation, it has been transformed into a space for the public engaged with cultural and communal activities in which it offers a sense of welcoming and happiness in accompany with vegetation and landscape elements. And so I am totally inspired by the concept of its current use which perfectly fits into its context. It serves as a multifunctional structure in the area. People can stay there whenever they like.. running.. jogging... chatting.. picnicking..exhibiting... Would it be possible to make my double-house a communal architecture that is open to everyone in the area...?
