THURSDAY,
DECEMBER 2: HIGH LINE COMMUNITY INPUT FORUM #3
FHL
invites all interested members of the public to attend the
third High Line Community Input Forum.
High Line Community Input Forum #3
Thursday, December 2, 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Chelsea Recreation Center
430 West 25th Street (9th and 10th Avenues)
Light refreshments will be served
Please RSVP to community@thehighline.org; or call Ameka at
(212) 206-9922.
Come see the design of the High Line in process. The design
team, led by
Field Operations with Diller Scofidio + Renfro, is hard at
work developing
their vision for the High Line. The architects and engineers
will present
an update on their work - both a technical assessment of the
structure and
the ecology on the High Line, as well as new design ideas,
including
lighting, access and seating. The December 2 forum is a great
opportunity
to learn more about the High Line design and shape its progress.
The goal of
the forum is not just for you to hear from the designers but
to continue a
dialogue between you and the designers. We hope to see you
there.

SUMMARY
OF OCTOBER 19 COMMUNITY INPUT FORUM
On the
evening of October 19, over 300 participants from the greater
High Line community gathered at Metropolitan Pavilion to
meet the design team of Field Operations with Diller Scofidio
+ Renfro and learn about the team's
preliminary design concepts for the conversion of the High
Line to public open space. Following the presentation and
a short question-and-answer session, participants broke into
groups to discuss the team's preliminary ideas and
to formulate responses. At the conclusion of the evening,
a representative from each group presented its comments and
recommendations to the assembled forum.
You can view a forum
summary online that includes an overview
of the October 19 forum, a round-up of the principal questions
and comments that emerged, and a transcript of the question-and-answer
session. View forum summary.
Community
input is an integral part of the design process for the High
Line, and there will be opportunity for public participation
at regular intervals. We thank all the participants who attended
the October 19 forum, and hope that you will join us at the
next High Line Community Input Forum on
Thursday, December 2.
