Designing the High Line: Gansevoort Street to 30th Street
- By: Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro
- Price: $30

Transforming an abandoned railway viaduct into Manhattan’s newest public park, the High Line brings nature—from the Chelsea Grasslands to a two-level sundeck and “rail preserve” to a wildflower field between 28th and 29th Streets—to cosmopolitan life.
