Detailed Design 设计深化 Node 1: Central Plaza Node Plan

Node Section

The square, especially the removable train cabin stage provide enough space for youth to perform when the dry fountains are not in use. Besides, while the fountains are playing with music and light, the actors may deliver abundant sensuous feasts to visitors. The surrounding water can restore the used water for the whole recycle system. People on the overpass can have a overall vision of the show. On the open lawn, there are couples of single karaoke rooms for youth to practice and enjoy themselves.

Detailed Design 设计深化 Node 2: Outdoor Auditorium

Young people in NYC prefer outdoor activities.

Outdoor Auditorium is a perfect place for youth to find friends and their target audience. Plus, visitors on the Highline Park can enjoy performance. Therefore, we build the outdoor auditorium with a wide stage which has a capacity of 400 people. Following the acoustic design rules, the unique two-layer stage structure aims to maintain sound quality. It enriches the vision interaction and sound echo as well. The seats are designed into two kinds: wooden chairs and grass ramp.
