Looking up from Goldberg Pocket Park. |
I also look for them when I notice a disruption in the grid, whether by a demolition or some quirk of development. Pocket parks create great windows into these spaces. The one at Goldberg Park is one of my favorites. The height of the buildings and the adjacent embankment for the El create a sense of enclosure and provide a leisurely way to enjoy the surroundings.
I see views like this replicated throughout the city. It's really a streetscape in its own right, following a set of rules just as compelling as those of the finished facades.
