The second is this design company entitled Hariri & Hariri, with the designers being two Iranian born sisters called Gisue Hariri and Mojgan Hariri. Their exploration of our currently dynamic and speed oriented culture has generated projects and prototypes for futuristic and visionary architecture.
The design that caught my eye was for the High Line Community. This is a proposal to reinvent and modernise the entire line that was originally created in the 1930's, and has been unused since then, and to create a community.
Hariri & Hariri are proposing to build mixed use structures along this line, and the concept is to allow pedestrians to walk through, and feel what the movement of trains through buildings. The idea seems quite cool and again would make a landmark for New York, however if the project is given the go ahead, the community will have to be perfect so the history of this line is not lost.
