This remains my favorite proposal for the reuse of the High Line - a mile long lap pool. Nathalie Rinne, an architecture student in Vienna submitted the plan and as part of our 2003 Ideas Competition [3].

The simplicity of the idea, the singularity of use and the graphic way in which it was conveyed made it the favorite of the jury [4] [4]and one of four winners of the competition.  I think the David Hockney swimmer helped also.
