Architects often find creative ways to reuse old structures that are no longer in use. Check out how old rail lines were adapted to create New York's High Line and Chicago's 606.

Comments

I think the red bricks are overpowering the rest of the park components. Using masonry stones instead of brick could have been a better option.

I love the sewers of the plan, what a nice smell to add to the park! Also I like the idea of plants near the sewer, it gives it LIFE! Thanks again, rick.

I completely agree with FaithinMe's commentary. It gives the public a fresh smell of the city life!
