Researching into abandoned spaces, the New York City High-line is a perfect example of a piece of forgotten space being used as a positive. During our visit to New York, we spent a morning on the high-line, a mile walk, with the most beautiful views. It was inspirational. The concept of seeing the city in a new light. The high-line is actually an abandoned train line. The weeds, left by the council, are beautiful. Walking down the high-line, the views were phenomenal of across the city. The amount of colour is also spectacular- buildings, monuments, graffiti- an aspect that I want to bring to Manchester's design festival.
