Zoning Change “The High-line”, By Ahmed Jawdat

Commons Description:  After the high-line park was proposed by the “Friends of the high-line” and its design was approved, the city approved a Zoning change for the west Chelsea area, and applied specific rules to the buildings adjacent to the high-line, to preserve the park and allow the maximum amount of light and air to pass through it so that the adjacent buildings could engage with the park, and the Re-Zoning regulations becomes the Commons.

Building Attributes (Masses): one of the most important feature of the highline is that it is an elevated park between the dense building fabrics of New York City. Therefore, having the buildings attributes in the model gives us a better understanding of the site and the sense of it.

 Parks: The highline itself is a park, therefore, showing it with different adjacent parks points out its uniqueness in the site.

 Railroads: The highline used to be a railroad and relating it to different railroads around the site is important to relate to its history.

 Water: this shows the proximity of the highline to the Hudson River, and also points out that one could have interesting views of the Hudson from it.

 Boundry_Edge: This will allow us to view the edge of Manhattan and the piers on the Hudson, which is significant to the highline location.

 Contours: Since it’s an elevated park, the contours provide us with the sense of the topography in the site.
