THE APPROACH The City of New York was the first capital of the United States in the year 1789 and is home to more than 8 million people 1 . Within this bustling city, the need for accessible urban spaces for recreational activity is rare. As part of the Programming Theory and Practice ARC 6259, we have been assigned the High Line Trail on the west side of Manhattan New York City to research. The investigation seeks to examine the environmental and contextual conditions around the Highline and help identify the needs of the users.

IMAGE 3: THE HIGH LINE SOURCE (SOUND WORD SIGHT AN ARTS MAGAZINE)

HIGH LINE NARRATIVE The High Line was built on an old abandoned former New York Central Railroad track that was destined to be demolished.

In 1924, the West Side Improvement Project commissioned the construction of the West Side Elevated Line because of the numerous hazards due to the track being at street level. In 1934, the line was fully operational and in the 60’s, the southern part of the line was demolished due to the increasing rise in trucking2 . The High Line stood for decades, being used until 2003 when Friends of the High Line hosted an ideas competition. The High Line is a 1.45-mile (2.33 km) elevated linear park and greenway spanning West 34th Street to Gansevoort Street. The High Line is used for a variety of cultural, visual art, performing arts, wellness, and community events and offers different points of engagement on the 1.45-mile park. This unique elevated park provides a unique way of traversing the city without crossing over the busy streets of Manhattan and offers users a need relief from the traffic and harsh streetscape.

8

With one of the themes of the High Line named Making Connections with a specific view of free wellness programs designed specifically with older adults in mind, this investigation will seek to explore Recreation Centers in and around the High Line 3.

The programs offered are as follows: • Tai Chi • Senior Stretch • Zumba • Afro- Afro-Brazilian dance Class • Guided Mediation: A Mindful Walk

The Highline Narrative 9

The design took into consideration the existing ecosystem on the High Line and its structure of it by locating the pedestrian path strategically across the 1.45-mile stretch. This unique experience allows users to run, walk, and jog along the High Line and in some cases slightly elevated above the abandoned tracks.

An investigation was done to look at and highlight the existing conditions along the High Line where a building or structure overlaps it and the uses of these spaces.

These spaces present unique opportunities for activities, events, social gatherings, and spaces for physical activity.

Physical inactivity is a serious public health problem in the United States 4. Manhattan is home to numerous gyms and fitness centers and one of the contextual conditions that was highlighted in the Manhattan area was the lack of accessible public spaces for physical activity. The closest recreation center is located 0.2 miles from the High Line.

The Department of Parks and Recreation has provided the most affordable and extensive network of recreational services throughout New York City since 1910. These recreation centers offer numerous facilities such as indoor pools, weight rooms, basketball courts, dance studios, art studios, game rooms, and libraries. In addition to the numerous facilities, they also offer a range of programs for people of all ages. However, most of these facilities are outdated, defective, or renovating 5. Therefore, a need for a new state-of-the-art Recreation Center is required.

Recreation Centers are a pivotable part of a city’s healthy fitness culture and are often a great way of uniting and connecting a community. Investigates revealed that Manhattan is home to 13 recreation centers. These facilities all have varying amenities and programs. It was also highlighted that because of the age and the outdated nature of these facilities, some areas of the centers are closed permanently or closed for renovations.

What was notable in the design is the use of the outings and large glass openings to allow light in the multipurpose court illuminating the use of artificial light during the daytime. .

This recreational sport and civic center located in west St. Louis houses a large program in the 91,800 sq. ft. footprint. It is able to house a number of activities due to its size and utilities double height spaces in areas so person can view other activities. More interesting is the layout and positioning of the indoor track and weight /fitness area. Another strong point of the design is the way in which the landscape integrates with the roof structure. By creating a berm area, it gives the appearance and helps reduce the scale of the building from the north.

PROGRAM OUTLINE, ADJACENCY & CONCEPT DIAGRAM The case studies were also used to investigate the room sizes and spatial relationships. The Maryland Height Community and Recreation Center contained the largest program located on two stories. Investigation revealed that the large areas were designated for the jogging track, multipurpose courts, and indoor soccer field.

The program adjacency diagram outlines the location and connection of the space to each other based on requirements and needs. This can aid with the spatial planning and development of the interior spaces of the proposed building.

To facilitate the program size required to cover the community’s needs successfully based on the criteria, the proposed program concept should be a multi-level building. These spaces can be stacked according to requirements and can open up and look on to each other if necessary. There is also an opportunity for the building’s program to connect directly with the High Line.

PROGRAM SPECIFIC CRITERIA Manhattan, being seasonal, the inclusion of an indoor jogging track which will be useful during the winter months will be an asset to the building’s program. It also provides anlaternative to running on the treadmil.

The mean of these recently built recreational centers of similar size was used to formulate an average square foot cost. A 20 percent inflation was added to the mean to determine the square foot cost for the proposed new recreation center.

Using a cost estimate calculator and the mean average square foot cost from the two case studies, an estimated cost of $90,739,440 was the budget estimate required for completing the proposed program.

Building Name: Silver Spring Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center Building Location: Silver Spring, Maryland, Washington, United States Project Size: 120,000 ft2 Building Type: Recreation & Aquatic Center Total Building Costs: $458/ft2 Date Building Occupied: 2024 Source: https://www.sourceofthespring.com/silver-spring-news/2794157/monster-recreation-aquatic-center-open-2023/Links to an external site.

Mean of $445 and $458 = $451.50 x 1.2 for inflation= $524 per sq ft
