First News of 2015 About Governors Island: new pavillions
I was happy to read about the new pavillions coming to the island for the 2015 season. The massive, eco-friendly canopies are the winners of FIGMENT art festival’s annual City of Dreams Pavilion Design Competition.
The massive, eco-friendly canopies are the winners of FIGMENT art festival’s annual City of Dreams Pavilion Design Competition, the organization announced Tuesday. According to DNAinfo:
It’s the first time the competition, in its fifth year, has picked two winners: a structure called the Billion Oyster Pavilion, constructed by New York designers from BanG Studio, and Organic Growth, a pavilion designed by Izaskun Chinchilla Architects from Madrid and London.
It makes me want to get back onto the island even more.
