1. What was Dan’s dream?
to build an underground house in New York City
to live in New York
to build the world's first underground park in New York City
What did Dan compare what he felt when he first saw the trolley terminal with?
He felt like he was on a football field filled with people
It felt like you are Indiana Jones on an archaeological dig
What did Dan believe while working at Google?
That technology could solve all social problems
That he knew more about local Kenyan politics than the politics of his own hometown
The site was located
at the very heart of the Lower East Side in one of the most crowded neighborhoods in the city
in a very quiet place at the outskirts of the city
Dan and his business partner’s plan was to
draw natural sunlight underground to make it possible for plants and trees to grow
create a shopping centre bellow the city level
The name of the project was:
High Line Underground
Lowline
It was clear from the beginning
people really wanted to know a lot more about how the technology would look and feel
people really wanted to know a lot more about High Line Underground
Dan decided to
Quit his job and focus entirely on the project
Act like a crazy person and quit his job because he was tired of working
Dan Barasch and James Ramsey made a full exhibit of their project
in a city park
in a warehouse
This project is really something that will
add one football field of green space underneath one of New York City’s most crowded neighborhood
add one football field underneath one of New York City’s most crowded neighborhood
will introduce a really community-driven focus in a rapidly gentrifying area
Lowline would be a
a four-season space and a respite for the city
an outdoor space or outdoor park
a most beautiful underground football field
