Landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro and planting designer Piet Oudolf have completed Section 2 of the High Line, a 1.5 mile-long elevated park on an abandoned railway in New York.
The project spans 22 blocks through the west side of Manhattan and is split into three equal stages, with Section 2 bringing the completed length up to one mile.
Unlike Section one, which was completed in 2009, this second phase includes a stretch of lawn.
A new platform elevated 2.5 metres above the main High Line overlooks a canopy of trees and plants below.
Photographs are by Iwan Baan, apart from where otherwise stated.
