The High Line Pool by Nathalie Rinne
"The High Line" NYC, 2003 Competition Entry - 1.Prize





The steel of the pool slices through the plastic of the blocks like a knife through butter.

The constructivists have vanished, leaving the pool sunken in the pile of the citiesí steel aside of fashion and style, like an anchor on earth. Life went on in Manhattan, stylish, silent and unchanging over years.

Fashion expands and reaches the docks.

2001

An architectural highlight threatens the Captive Globe.

2003

Somehow the NewYorker remembers the heritage of former days. The pool hoovers tranquille in between the rusty grid, reflecting the sky on its surface.

The New Yorker dives into the fresh water of manhattanís tub and swims faszinated by the labor of its own body and in belove of the fallen linearity. Is Horizontality the rebirth of Manhattan?
