Robert Hammond, Co-Founder of Friends of the High Line and Philip Aarons, Founding Chair of Friends of the High Line will deliver a lecture at the University of Miami School of Architecture entitled: "The High Line-New York's Park In The Sky: Lessons for Miami Marine Stadium". The event is co-sponsored by the University of Miami School of Architecture and the Miami Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Funding for the event has been generously provided by Cliff and Petsy Mezey. There will be a press walk-through of the Marine Stadium with Robert and Phil that morning.
The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's West Side. It is owned by the City of New York and maintained and operated by Friends of The High Line. Founded in 1999 by community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line's Preservation at a time when the historic structure was under the threat of demolition. It is now the non-profit conservancy working with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to make sure the High Line is maintained as an extraordinary public space for all visitors to enjoy. You can learn more about the inspiring story of the High Line by purchasing the book by High Line Co-Founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond.
The High Line has been remarkably successful: it is one of the most visited "tourist" attractions in New York City and has stimulated over $2 billion in private investment in the surrounding area. The High Line's trajectory is now being studied by many cities-both nationwide and worldwide. The parallels to our Marine Stadium initiative are significant-and we are extremely fortunate that Robert and Phil will join us in Miami for this presentation.
