2019 City of Dreams Pavilion
Each year FIGMENT teams with the Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA) of the American institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIANY) and the Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEAoNY) to host a competition to design and construct the City of Dreams Pavilion, an architectural pavilion that focuses on the future of a world that faces strains on both economic and natural resources, aims to promote sustainability-oriented thinking in the architecture and design communities, and requires designers to consider the environmental impact of their designs, from materials sourcing to disposal (or ideally reuse) at the end of the season.
Salvage Swings is accepting tax-deductible donations to support the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of the pavilion on Roosevelt Island for the 2019 summer season. Donations can be made to the project’s Kickstarter campaign here.
