New York City has many parks, but none can reach the physical and aesthetic heights of the High Line. As visitors ascend the stairwell to the reclaimed public space, each step brings them closer to an extraordinary experience. The High Line drifts above the city, granting its visitors a never-before-seen tour. This birds eye voyage takes guests on a timeless journey through lower Manhattan, embraced on both sides by beautifully cultivated flora. At night the park softly glows, guiding visitors through the city supported on a shimmering path of light.
The High Line was not always so transcendent. Constructed in the early 1930's, the elevated train track was intended to transport freight to the factories and warehouses populating Manhattan's lower west side. It did so until the line was shut down in 1980 and the tracks were abandoned. The group Friends of the High Line was formed in 1999 in response to a demolition campaign. The High Line design, a product of a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, horitcultural designer Piet Oudolf, and lighting designers L'Observatoire International, transformed an industrial eyesore into a vibrant public park.
Tour the park with L'Observatoire International, which played a crucial role in the development of the High Line as an iconic space. The design established a low and consistent plane of light along the length of the park, making the elevated tracks appear to float over the city below. This served to visually connect the greater surrounding areas while providing an unobstructed view of the city at night. This effect, achieved by utilizing energy efficient LED lights, gives the park ethereal buoyancy, letting it drift through the Manhattan cityscape. Spike lighting for large trees punctuates the park with another layer of color and texture, contributing to a secondary layer of light. This illuminated duality is a central part of the High Line's original design.
