Lessons from New York. Field Operations Shows How to Reshape Cities

Is there anyone not familiar with the New York High Line? After hosting the initiator of the most iconic urban regeneration project of recent decades (Robert Hammond, Friends of the High Line), Utopian Hours welcomes the studio that realized it. Field Operations is globally renowned as one of the most cutting-edge firms in landscape architecture and urban design.

Some of their projects have rewritten the rules of city-making, proposing a bold way to enhance the potential of places. With the High Line, they didn’t just give New York City a new landmark. They marked a turning point in the design of urban transformations.

Matt Grunbaum, Associate Partner of the studio, will explain the design philosophy of Field Operations— between ecology and cutting-edge architecture.
