"Imagining the Lowline" exhibit seen at the old Essex Street Market in the Lower East Side neighborhood in New York on Saturday, September 15, 2012. The plans call to transform an underground trolley terminal into a green space using sunlight filtered through skylights to create a subterranean park. In the exhibit reflective hexagons and optic pipes direct the sun's rays to the landscape below. (© Frances M. Roberts)
