Last December, he was pointed one as Game Changers by Time Magazine- “innovators and problem-solvers that are inspiring change in America”. Everyone want to know about this landscape architect, author of the New York High Line, James Corner, in collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro.

This video shows Corner’s philosophy about our cities, landscape and how public spaces are a important and a defining component of urban spaces.

“…As designers, you bring an incredible sense of optimism and faith….and the capacity of good design to transform what may be perceived as negative to something very positive,” explained Corner.
