Sometimes the bold goals we set out to achieve actually happen, and sometimes something even more amazing happens - something better than we can imagine. Usually that happens because of the people we meet along the way, the conversations we have, the unexpected connections we make that open up new doors - in a word, Serendipity. I had always wondered about what amazing, powerful and sustained conversations led to the High Line Park in New York City becoming a reality. Have you walked the High Line? Literally millions of people a year walk some of its 1.45 mile length, enjoying expansive views of the city and hundreds of local plantings, as well as amazing art installations. But it was slated for demolition and considered an eyesore and a relic, as long ago as the 1980s. Built in 1933, it was at the time a revolutionary elevated train line that was colloquially called the Lifeline of New York City since it was regularly bringing millions of tons of meat, dairy and produce by rail, directly into the warehouses and factories of lower manhattan for preparation and distribution. The rail line wasn't just a lifeline because of the food it brought, it also moved the rail lines safely above the city's growing traffic - in the 1910s, hundreds of people were killed by the ground-level trains that ran in the middle of the bustling 10th avenue! By the 1960s the line was growing obsolete due to the rise of trucking, and by the 1980s, it was a hulking relic of the past. In 1999, Robbie Hammond, my guest for this conversation, co-founded the Friends of the High Line along with Joshua David. The two met at a local community board meeting where the High Line's future was being discussed. Rudy Guliani, NYC's mayor at the time, had signed an executive order for its demolition - many property owners wanted it gone so they could take back the land occupied by the tracks and build bigger buildings - a dream of greater square footage and increased rent rolls. Currently Robbie is the President & Chief Strategy Officer for Therme Group US, where he is leading an initiative to bring large scale bathing facilities to the United States. He also currently serves on the boards for Little Island, Sauna Aid, Grounded Solutions Network, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. When I was a little kid in NYC in the 80s, I looked up at the hulking tracks and thought “what the hell is that doing in the middle of the city?!” Many adults thought the same thing. Robbie and Josh looked at the tracks and thought “we should really do something cool with that instead of tearing it down.” In 2009 the first section of the high line opened to the public. In 2019 and 2023 new sections were completed. Against all odds, “two neighborhood nobodies” (as one writer described them!) created a coalition, learned to raise money and garner the favorable attention of local politicians, and persisted and succeeded. The park is maintained, operated, and programmed by Friends of the High Line in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation and is run on donations. There are many amazing angles to the story of the Highline: Maybe you DON'T need a coherent or complete Vision or Mission?! Robbie makes it clear that they didn't even have a clear vision or strategic plan for some time…just the idea that the elevated line was worth saving and doing something with…they discovered what they wanted to create along the way. He actually credits the vagueness of the mission with creating a “big tent” that attracted more people to the organization. From a conventional dream to something better than anyone could imagine One surprising insight is that the property owners had a rather conventional dream - tear the elevated tracks down so they could build bigger. Turning the High Line into a park seemed like a low-value, impossible pipedream - sex workers and drug users congregated under the overpasses, after all! But the High Line's millions of visitors have transformed the value of the area far beyond the addition of a few extra square feet. The High Line as a symbol for dreamers of impossible dreams One of Robbie's greatest points of pride is that the High Line now stands as a symbol to many “crazy dreamers” who find inspiration in the story of outsiders persisting and accomplishing more than they ever dreamed possible. The High Line is now a global inspiration for cities to transform unused industrial zones into dynamic public spaces. But Robbie loves the personal stories of folks who come up to him at talks, who are working on all sorts of projects and who find inspiration in Robbie and Josh's “keep going against all odds” story. The importance of Talking to People Robbie talks about how he was always willing to pick up the phone and talk to anyone - the fearlessness of someone raised in sales. But the Friends of the High Line were also willing to host conversations with community groups and listen to them, and learn from them and communicate with them about why they were listening to their ideas and why, in some cases, they weren't going to. Open lines of consistent communication made the High Line possible. The Alchemy of the Co-Founder Relationship In this conversation, Robbie is bracingly reflective and shines a sometimes harsh light on himself. Here at the 15th anniversary of the opening of the Highline and the 25th anniversary of the start of the project, the founding of the Friends of the High Line, Robbie looks back and is refreshingly honest about his own challenges and shortcomings, as well as missed opportunities along the way to do things differently. What was truly surprising to me in this conversation is that Robbie was so open about his challenges as a co-founder, and is so open-eyed about how essential this most intimate of relationships can be…and how much he and Josh were willing to invest (in time, energy and resources) in that relationship to keep it intact, functional and flourishing. The Energy and Anxiety of Creation Robbie suggests that it is common for creative people (which includes entrepreneurs, and anyone that starts anything) to have a drive to accomplish their dream - that is what keeps them going… but that there is often “an undercurrent of anxiety”. Meditation helped Robbie reclaim a higher level of happiness as the High Line approached realization, but it took him years to undo the deep grooves anxiety etched in his psyche. It's a worthwhile lesson for anyone listening out there who's creating something, start taking care of yourself sooner rather than later.

嘉宾 | 尤扬（AssBook设计食堂、城事设计节、大鱼营造发起人之一）主播 | nada 剪辑 | nada # 本期节目的内容- 为什么说上海是一座分层的城市？- 街道的店招设计有什么变化？- 为什么经常出现一刀切的改造？- 愚园路、新华路的改造案例- 改造、烟火气，一定非此即彼吗？- 为什么建筑师可能成了一个贬义词？- 建筑师绕开甲方，如何直接和用户对话？- 长期私有化的公共空间，怎么解决私占问题？- 为何改造刚完成，就被挖开了？- 高线公园的改造和 911 有何关系?- 街道改造是可以复制的吗？- 如何和街道、地产公司合作，又保持独立？# 名词解释· 引言中提到的建筑师：冯纪忠，建筑师，同济大学建筑与城市规划学院创始人，担任同济建筑系系主任 27 年。1946 年从奥地利维也纳留学回国，曾参与“大上海都市计划”，但计划最终没能实施。冯纪忠反对苏联专家对上海发展“摊大饼”的主张，认为要保留老城区。1978 年，受上海市政府委托，冯纪忠设计了方塔园，“与古为新”，但受到批评。冯纪忠还设计了何陋轩。葛如亮，1957年起于同济大学任教，和冯纪忠是同事和好友。他的代表作品有：富春招待所（因为设计了四个院子而被批评“封建主义”）、上海黄浦体育馆、习习山庄（合作者：龙永龄，刘双喜）。1980-1989 年病逝，参与设计了 22 个风景建筑。这段引言的作者、建筑师@居士的草图纸 认为，因这个时期，葛如亮设计的风景建筑往往地点偏僻，属于规模小、边缘化的建筑类型，受到意识形态的干扰较小，得以较大部分地按照设计师的本意建造。夏昌世，建筑师，被认为是岭南现代建筑创作的开拓者。1945 年至文革前，夏昌世一直执教于中山大学建筑系（华南理工大学建筑学院前身）。他设计的华南土特产展览会水产馆被《人民日报》批评有“香签一样细的柱子 ”、“ 出挑很远却像蝉翼一样单薄的阳台”、“资本主义的臭牡丹”。他在1969年入狱，四年后开释。王大闳，台湾重要的现代主义建筑师，和贝聿铭是哈佛建筑系的同窗。王大闳在战后的台湾设计了许多经典建筑，最出名的是国父纪念馆，但王大闳本人一直认为这是个“妥协”的作品，并不满意。后来，王大闳的传记作者倪安宇写道，从许多官建筑设计案中，“王大闳悟出了建筑为政治工具的道理”。 陈其宽，1921 年出生于北平，曾任教于麻省理工学院建筑系，后任东海大学建筑系系主任。陈其宽既是建筑师，也是画家、景观建筑师，他与贝聿铭、张肇康合作设计台湾东海大学校园，“开台湾校园整体规划之先河”。他那一代现代主义建筑师也被认为“将传统以新的精神境界出之，并连上现代主义的抽象审美观，进而与世界对话”。华揽洪，生于北京。父亲是中国建筑师华南圭，母亲是波兰人。华揽洪在巴黎读完中学、大学，在马赛创办事务所。建国后提出想回国工作，尽管父亲劝说，但还是全家回到北京，设计了北京儿童医院、北京首个设施全面配套的小区“幸福村街坊”。1957 年被打成右派，1976 年文革结束前回到法国。· 十五分钟生活圈2016年，《上海市15分钟社区生活圈规划导则》发布，这也是国家“十三五”规划的一部分。规划者希望将“社区生活圈”打造为社区公共资源配置和社会治理的基本单元，这个单元在以家为中心的15分钟步行可达范围内，区别于行政单位“街道”、“社区”。不过直到 2019 年才公布 15 个试点，每区一个，包括本期节目提到的长宁区新华路街道。http://ghzyj.sh.gov.cn/xxbs/shij/201908/t20190823_933483.html· 常德路店招事件2019 年 3 月，上海静安区常德路统一整改的黑白店招在网上被称为“丧葬风”。后静安区总工会公开回复：“经现场核实了解，因区工人文化宫在外立面整治过程中，对店招店牌设计的颜色搭配考虑不够周全。我们诚恳接受网友意见，并责成区工人文化宫及时整改。”这一事件也导致区政府不得直接插手店招的设计。· 都市酵母台湾的设计组织，跟台北市文化部门合作，针对城市店招这个问题，开展“小招牌制造所”的活动。他们依据台北不同城市空间状态，对店招元素进行了总结，并提出了可行性建议。· 俞挺、唐煜俞挺，Wutopia Lab 建筑事务所创始人。俞挺的新建筑学认为，世界是事件的集合；他认为旧建筑学将世界视为物体的组合。https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/97181382唐煜，阿科米星建筑事务所合伙人，一条生活馆的项目设计总监。他认为，理解了新零售与传统商业的差异，才能真正设计出所对应的线下空间；而差异在于对流量的关注。· 小粉巷位于上海长宁区新华路街道的番禺路222弄，改造后路面和墙面刷成粉色，在网上被称为“小粉巷”。推荐阅读两篇文章，分别记录了小粉巷的改造、在“精品小区工程”开始后变成建筑垃圾堆场的过程。https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1927420https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_5018902_1· 高线公园（High Line Park）位于纽约曼哈顿，由弃用的纽约中央铁路西区线高架桥改造而成的绿道和带状公园，是城市更新和公共空间改造的经典案例。本期嘉宾尤扬指出，高线公园的顺利改造有赖于当时的多重条件、和多年的坚持抗争。· 《新华录》一本关于新华录街道的杂志，由AssBook 设计食堂、大鱼营造、三明治合作出版。· 谷根千指东京的谷中、根津、千驮木区域，不是一个正式地名。因小店众多，又兼有神社、文人故居，被如今的旅游指南视为东京必去景点、下町（平民区、老街）的代表。在《本土东京》一书里，谷根千的居民被描述为一群极有社区营造意识的人。· 《本土东京》考察了从 1960 年代开始东京的公共广场、居住社区、道路和博物馆，作者乔丹·桑德认为这些地方利用和动员了东京的本土历史。其中专门有一章节讲述了谷根千社区和谷根千杂志的形成。乔丹·桑德在美国乔治城大学教授日本历史，还著有《现代日本的住宅与家庭》（House and Home in Modern Japan），获2004年的费正清奖。注释 | nada场地 | just pod引言 | 豆瓣@居士的草图纸音乐 | 笹川美和 「家族の風景」「上层建筑」是一档关于城市的播客节目。从设计出发，谈论城市有关的一切。既谈经济基础，也谈上层建筑。欢迎给我们写信 senttozoo@gmail.com

Thanks to Aubrey Rothman for the help with the awesome artwork! The High Line (also known as the High Line Park) is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) New York City linear park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line. Inspired by the 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) Promenade plantée (tree-lined walkway), a similar project in Paris completed in 1993, the High Line has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway and rails-to-trails park.

Tim just got back from NYC and visited a brand new park called the High Line. They converted an elevated railway into a park. It was such a brilliant idea that we had to share some video footage.
