We considered the plan of the architecture competition of a high line which became the discontinued line of NY.
This also uses gravity and directivity and expand area to architecture field.

Title: High line -chain process of directivity.

Manhattan of NY is the place governed by the grid except for the part. The former site of the high line which can cross the inside of that constitution in addition could be called unique space in this city, without interrupting that grid entirely. We propose the function as an apparatus which acts to a time axis as the monitor of that cross sectional operation and the city condition as a stream of the cross section which changes the space of this high line being conscious of space. The directivity and process which are shown in this walk space explore the possibility of dissolution of "gravity", reconsidering the dialog environment of the body and architecture. Why, when people are glad, you look up at a top, and are head leaned and looked down when sad on the contrary? We are bound by gravity to soul. It is generated from the reality that the body is functioning in the environment which gravity commits, and the directivity of space called four directions clings deeply to our space concept, and does not separate to it.
Component of a floor is calculated so that the slope which can be equal to slope employment may be maintained, and it goes up and down walk motion. Vertically and horizontally, it becomes symmetrical and stability and disequilibrium change continuously by walking the space like the mirror which carries out reflection.These two components that divide a cross section into four in the linear long space given were generated to semi automatic.
