Gravity and Resistance project

["High Line" Architectural Plan]
We considered the plan of the architecture competition of a high line which became the discontinued line of NY.
This also uses gravity and directivity and expand area to architecture field.
Title: High line -chain process of directivity.
Manhattan of NY is the place governed by the grid except for the part. The former site of the high line which can cross the inside of that constitution in addition could be called unique space in this city, without interrupting that grid entirely. We propose the function as an apparatus which acts to a time axis as the monitor of that cross sectional operation and the city condition as a stream of the cross section which changes the space of this high line being conscious of space. The directivity and process which are shown in this walk space explore the possibility of dissolution of "gravity", reconsidering the dialog environment of the body and architecture. Why, when people are glad, you look up at a top, and are head leaned and looked down when sad on the contrary? We are bound by gravity to soul. It is generated from the reality that the body is functioning in the environment which gravity commits, and the directivity of space called four directions clings deeply to our space concept, and does not separate to it.
Component of a floor is calculated so that the slope which can be equal to slope employment may be maintained, and it goes up and down walk motion. Vertically and horizontally, it becomes symmetrical and stability and disequilibrium change continuously by walking the space like the mirror which carries out reflection.These two components that divide a cross section into four in the linear long space given were generated to semi automatic.

----A function and molding.
Although the cross section divided into four changes continuously, it is provided for cafe, shop, etc. using the space where the lower part swelled.
----Sensing of the city.
The side of the floor division of a walk plate and the upside of a wall are equipped with the LED panel of full color RGB. This LED system has the durability of a water proof. This emits light in the form of the line which surges. (Systems, such as a solar battery and wind power, are also considered by power-source provision of this LED) These send a city condition by radiation after sunset. The microphone is devised in a high line, the street which goes direct, and all the crosses on extension of an avenue, and the color of LED corresponding to spectrographic analysis of the sound is expressed by the high line. Moreover, time is limited and the programming interface through the Internet is exhibited on the Internet. And the entry in the world is able to join representation of this shining apparatus.
----Access
Stairs and an elevator are established in each intersection with a street and an avenue including the high line starting point and a terminal point.
----Material
As for the outside of the main constitutions by iron, a wood panel, glass, a mirror, etc. are mainly stretched.
----Constitution
By welding of a steel board, the constitution near a three-dimensional truss inside is built.
The substructure of various uses and pipe shafts (electricity, water, air-conditioning, drain, etc.) are provided with void of the triangle made secondarily.
The function of the planter of planting is also achieved by cutting and lacking a part.
