The first section of New York’s High Line is open. A friend and fellow Landscape Architect currently living and working in New York city recently went to check out this super cool park. She got some great shots of some of the fun details seen throughout the park. I particularly love the way in which different materials mesh with each other, how new and old details blend like the rails with the benches and things like the walls blend right into parts of seating elements. I wanted to post some of her photographs that shows this amazing attention to detail.

These are some great and apparently quite popular loungers that have some great details in how the chairs actually attach to some old rails.
