Project Highlight: The High Line Park
Jakob Rope Systems Project Details:
Architect: James Corner Field Operations & Diller Scofido
Location: New York City, New York, USA
Project Year: 2011
Built in the 1930s and decommissioned in 1980, the High Line was formerly an elevated freight train line on the West Side of Manhattan. Two sections of the rail line viaduct were transformed into a public park between 2006 and 2011. Like a catwalk, the park crosses Manhattan’s streets. The landscape architects chose Jakob Rope Systems Webnet for railing filling and green wall partitions as well as coated Webnet as filling for historic railings, citing timeless design, unobstructed views, safety and longevity as key assets.
