Park High Line and its views

"Solar Carve" — the building designed by architectural firm Studio Gang. Architects are exploring how a building's architecture can improve sunlight access and other criteria to enhance and harness its ability to impact the environment positively. The building received its unique form from the geometric relationships between the allowable envelope and the sun's trajectory.

Studio Gang's "solar carving" concept, involves the angles of the sun's rays to create the building's shape to maximize the amount of light.

High Line is an elevated park on the former railroad overpass along the Hudson River. It is a beautiful park in Manhattan, that offers amazing views of the neighboring streets. In recent years it has become surrounded by high-rise buildings designed by very famous architectural firms from all over the world.
