DSR looks as if they made an attempt to activate the space beyond just paths and planting. hadid looks like a half effort[ive see better images come out of 1st yr undergrad arch schools]. DSR & holl make an attempt to define what happens at night, which is what ny is so much about. holl also address the whole elevated element, including the ground street side.
Diller Scofidio Renfro's is quite nice. I really appreciate that most of the project seems very non intrusive and (at least the images) tend to somehow preserve the existing look of the line.
The pool idea and the sun deck look very pristine and elegant but it doesn’t seem to be very realistic giving the roughness that NYC exhibits throughout its public spaces.
sorry for being a bit out of the loop...whatever happend to the earlier competion??? where so many people participated and won etc etc
is this the same thing or something else???

I like the Darth Vader High Line proposal

check out commentary from Curbed
i felt exactly the same way about DSR image which curbed numbered 6:
'6) With nothing left to live for, children hurl themselves from the High Line to a fiery death on the streets below.'
it reminded me of people jumping out the the wtc after plane impact.
