How They Transformed the Neglected Space into a Beautiful Underground Park in New York City

Inspiring Page - How They Transformed the Neglected Space into a Beautiful Underground Park in New York City. Have you ever imagined that a garden full of trees, humans, and bright sunshine could exist ... underground?

Well, that's what New York City is currently developing with the LowLine team. They use fiber optic technology to direct sunlight. The result is really cool! The abandoned train station will be transformed into an underground park.
#1. The site was opened in 1908 for trolley passengers, but has not been used since 1948 when the trolley service was stopped.

This will be the first of its kind. New York City will be the first to have an underground park like this.

If you want to visit, it will be in Manhattan under the eastern highway of Delancey Street on the Lower East Side.
#2. Technology directs sunlight will turn on this park. The park will be about 3 blocks long and the ceiling is about 20 feet high.
What you see in this picture is a "distributor plate" that will send light into the dungeon. They basically receive light from above and distribute it below.
Light will be a 'laser beam' to an underground distributor plate with other dishes on the ground. The remote skylight system has two levels. The above ground level has a special dish called 'parabolic collector'. This will concentrate sunlight into a kind of beam of light and direct it directly to an underground distributor plate.
#3. Special distributor plates will spread the light into the dungeon.
This is what the distributor looks like after it is installed. They are also called "long distance reflectors".
#4. Underground plant life will evolve with the technology used. See how beautiful the system works? This will allow photosynthesis to occur, promoting life underground with real sunlight.
Light will be generated from the sun as well as from artificial sources. The 'sunlight' laser beam will be placed in many special locations above the ground to direct the most sunlight possible. Of course, on cloudy days and evenings, they will use artificial sunlight to keep the park alive.
#5. Underground gardens will not rely on electricity. As long as there is no sunlight electricity it will be necessary to keep the park alive.


Many people in New York City are behind this project. The Manhattan Community Board 3, along with many politicians who support the project. It also includes the Lower East Side Business Improvement District.
#6. It will be a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery beneath the city's giant building.
It seemed like a great place to relax and get away from the tall buildings and the bustling city. Plus, since this will be located in one of the greenest areas of NYC, this will be a great addition to the environment.
Amazing light illumination technology. As you can see. Green design and environmentally friendly. It's just about a good idea. If you agree, share it with your friends to facebook and or twitter!
