You go through an amazing succession of episodes, and for me, it‘s this choreography and experience of this that is really the most exciting and original part of this project. So when you say, “What’s your favorite part?” it’s not that there’s a favorite part, but it’s that there’s a favorite experience – it is the experience in the duration of time that it takes to walk from Gansevoort to 20th Street. These are all great places, but at the end of the day, the most important thing to me is the fact that the High Line is this green ribbon. Then there is also this wonderful spot, the 10th Avenue Square, where seating has been installed to overlook 10th Avenue. But what we call the ‘Sundeck at 14th Street’ is another great social space with big, over-sized furniture. I like this area around Gansevoort because it’s really the moment where you leave the hard concrete and steel of the street level, come into the garden, and really see the sky and a complete panoramic view. James: Everyone asks this question, and it’s really hard to say. Jill: What’s your favorite part of the High Line? Read on for my exclusive interview with James Corner below… I recently sat down with landscape architect James Corner, the lead designer behind the High Line, to get his personal perspective on the what it was like to take an abandoned train track and turn it into one of NYC’s best loved spots of greenery. With the completion of the rest of the High Line currently in the works, we couldn’t think of a better time to catch up with one of the brilliant minds behind the design of this beautiful public space. By turning an abandoned, elevated freight train track into a public park, this project has redefined the New York experience, affording never-before seen views of the city’s surrounding natural landscape as well as an expansive and intimate look into one of the world’s most dynamic urban environments. Science Care has assisted the coroner’s office in many such cases, and families were grateful that their loved-one was going to be able to support valuable medical research.NYC’s High Line is a project that exemplifies effective adaptive urban re-use in a city that is littered with structures and spaces that have since reached the end of their useful life. Science Care covers all related costs for the family if the deceased qualifies for body donation. Organizations like Science Care can often be of great help to coroners who deal in cases where death came unexpectedly and the family has no means to pay for a funeral or cremation. There are more than 1,500 coroners offices across the United States. The coroner's office will usually maintain death records of those who have died within the coroner's jurisdiction. A coroner may also conduct or order an inquest into the manner or cause of death. In addition to determining cause of death, coroners are also responsible for identifying the body, notifying the next of kin, signing the death certificate, and returning any personal belongings found on the body to the family of the deceased. Although many coroners across the country do not hold medical degrees, many are trained in fields such as criminology, anatomy, medicine, forensic science, experimental pathology, pathology, physiology, or pre-medicine. In some states and counties, the sheriff, Justice of the Peace or county district attorney are assigned to act as coroner simply because it’s in their job description. In many rural areas of the country, the coroner may simply be a local business owner. State or county law determines the responsibilities of the coroner. But to add to the confusion, Medical Examiners are sometimes called Coroners and vice versa.Coroners who do perform Medical Examiner tasks such as performing an autopsy, would be required to be a licensed medical doctor (usually a forensic pathologist).
A coroner on the other hand, is an elected or appointed public official whose primary duty is to determine and certify cause of death.Ĭoroners usually work in association with the Sheriff’s Department and are not necessarily required to hold a medical degree. Although they are associated with the same line of work, there are key differences.Ī Medical Examiner is a licensed forensic pathologist (Medical Doctor) specializing in the investigation of violent, unexpected, suspicious or unattended deaths. People often confuse coroners with Medical Examiners.
