DESIGN PROGRESS - ISLAND OVER ISLAND






The High line park have been called the "Miracle above Manhattan". The up-High line park has not been open to public.I purposed to creating a floating layer above Hudson Yard, and reference the building code in Dharavi, the up level are mostly residential Co-living spaces, the ground level is an open plan park with Co-working spaces. The height of the floating area is defined by the view line from the context. Since the middle-raised building around Hudson yard is around 70-100 meters, the lifted surface of the floating area have been set to 100 meters, so to reduce the block of view from the surroundings, and also allows the people live on the floating surface to see the sky line of Manhattan.

Size of grids in downtown is around 66 m * 245 m. This proportion has directivity, the length have always been considered as "inner street" and the width aligned together become avenues. I tried to separate this proportion to make the area more humanistic, 66 m * 81.5 m as the basic module to control. This proportion is also according to my experiment in plan design, I found this proportion to be proper to duplicate.
