It’s not an urban fantasy. Someone is actually building a leafy underground park below Delancey Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
The Lowline is a plan to turn an abandoned trolley terminal into a public green space.
The technology of Sunportal that pipes in sunlight beneath the street’s surface invites public to a secret urban jungle.
Sunportal daylighting technology has transformed an abandoned underground square
into a bright and fresh garden for public.
The sunlight collectors installed on the Jong-no Tower Square
track the sun during the day to do their job.
The sunlight collected is then channeled through the tubes with special lenses.
The anodized aluminum panels on the ceiling then scatter the light to the garden.
