description
The most important characteristic of the High Line during its fifty years of operation was the movement of freight and people back and forth. When asked to create a public space that was both a gateway and a container it became obvious to me that what I wanted to capture in this structure was movement. In this case what is captured in the armature that became the vertical piazza was the vertical movement of the street or piazza to reach the High Line and even become a protective canopy at some points. The ground became a spiral going up that was frozen in time. The programmatic elements, the school and the gateway to the High Line are enveloped in the armature that resulted from the unfolding of the piazza.
