Fabricating a contemporary wilderness for the contemporary metropolis... planting 30 acres of nature with New York's HI-LO LINE. Root depth is created on the HI-LO Line by lifted tree boxes into the air, forming the structure for the forest floor below; this split section overlaps and changes with topography and habitat, allowing for the separation of hikers and bicyclists... below the HI-LO LINE, streets are populated by cabin-like public rooms with access via platform lifts and 1:20 ramps.NOA's submission for the Designing the Highline Competition received the New York Heritage Award "prize for the best design incorporating the New York area's native plants and wildflowers" sponsored by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
