The theme I am trying to do for this image grid is the interaction between different scales of landscape with people. I understand that different scales of landscape can bring people different experiences, however, what I feel like more interesting is that the various interaction which the different scales can bring along with.
From the first landscape, the "organic""conceptual" one, it is quite unique for me to understand small landscape. It is for the publics but meanwhile be forbidden from people's activities. As far as I can understand, this is a way to let people view from a settled distance but it is absolutely a kind of unusual interaction. Bryant Park and Paley Park share more common understanding of interaction to people, which is , an open or half open landscape that can be spaces to let people having fun inside.
The high line project is more about the experiences that it can provides. It has several entrances on the way and everyone is different. Also, the perspectives from different point of view on the high line shows us different image of NYC, the high line even has many "framework" , being kind of like a window frame, to let people enjoy the space on the high line. Moreover, the artworks are becoming parts of the high line and people can touch it, watch it and get experience from it. And I saw many kid and teachers are enjoying the class on the high line. In my opinion, this action shows that the high line not only provide the interaction itself but also give people a chance to create more interaction within it, and I think this is the reason why this project is so popular.
The comparison between Ford Foundation and Apple store is quite interesting. The former one focus more on inside space while Apple store seems like want to disappear from the ground. And these two different intentions give us different interactions, the first one is so quiet and private, and the apple store is welcoming all the passengers across it.
