Old with New

May 4
Amily's lecture was about Urbanism and Context.
The topics for the lecture includes:-
-Field Operation
-Pattern of the City
-Mapping
-Grid
-Turning Old to New and interesting

This is the High Line Park in New York City.
It was originally an old railway track but now it has been redesigned and planted as aerial greenway.
Although one is in the city, being surrounded by plants feels relaxing.
The park's attractions include naturalized plantings that are inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew on the disused tracks and the views of the city and the Hudson River.

This is one of the places where new things were formed on the old buildings. Amily also showed us more pictures of reconstructing the Bay Bridge and also the Burrito Wall designed by San Fratello+ Rael.
I really like the idea of not demolishing the old buildings and building a completely different building but leave the old as it is and implant new things in it to make it interesting and beautiful. This way we could still see the part of the old building combined with the new.
