Much progress is being made on my favorite urban green project, New York’s park-in-the-sky, The Highline. Here’s a beautiful set of renders and progress photographs from the site’s slideshow. The blog keeps rolling along, offering related tidbits and news from the project’s ongoing activities.

Here’s a nicely crafted video detailing the design and route layout.

On display at MOMA (New York), Design and the Elastic Mind “explores the reciprocal relationship between science and design in the contemporary world by bringing together design objects and concepts that marry the most advanced scientific research with attentive consideration of human limitations, habits, and aspirations.”

“The exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history—changes that demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior—and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use.” The Web site “presents over three hundred of these works, including fifty projects that are not featured in the gallery exhibition.”

Highly recommended for anyone interested in design and especially, information design.
