New York High Line...

I love this idea of creating an elevated park and walk way from the unused train line. The positioning of the track throughout different blocks gives the impression of it weaving its way around the city. Small gardens/seating areas/sanctuaries could also be applied to the light rail network in different areas of the city where views are prominent to enhance the aesthetics of the new system. Before Phil's lecture last week on the High Line in New York I had no idea it even existed. I enjoyed his lecture thoroughly and also gained a few more ideas which have helped to explain the project concept. I loved the idea of the breathing, eating, making, moving, dwelling concepts. As nice as it would be to try to combat all of the issues in our project and create one mega proposal for the future, it obviously would be a massive job. It is also hard though to just focus on one smaller issue because everything connects and links someway or another and a full integrated system will be the way of the future.
