The first WORKS session discusses the HIGH LINE with its key contributors: James Corner (Field Operations) and Elizabeth Diller (DS+R, Princeton), among others.

WORKS is a new series that throughout the upcoming semesters will discuss a selection of projects that have contributed to the production of realities through the mobilization of resources, agendas and constituencies; by connecting distant scales and actors; and as active components within broader social, ecological, cultural, and political transformations.
