Following the closure of the High Line and playgrounds in New York City, James Corner Field Operations and Weiss/Manfredi speak with RECORD about the implications for the public realm.

An office building on the High Line in New York exemplifies biophilic design by providing visual and physical connections to nature.

A New York office building's prismatic facades frame views of the High Line and provide optimal sun for plantings on the elevated park.

The Spur has just opened on the south edge of Hudson Yards.

A gallery next to the High Line fits snugly into a New York neighborhood.

A chiseled skyscraper by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates anchors Manhattan’s new west-side neighborhood.

“The idea was to create a ribbon in the middle of the canyon,” says Hervé Descottes, principal of L’Observatoire International, about the High Line project.

Bjarke Ingels continues to write his west side story with yet another icon along the Hudson River. Today, developer Tishman Speyer unveiled the architect’s design for The Spiral, a 65-story, 2.85 million-square-foot office tower.

The billionaire chats with RECORD about his Thomas Heatherwick-designed island, disagreeing with Frank Gehry, and why he hates Jean Nouvel's 100 Eleventh Avenue.
