The pavilion by Izaskun Chinchilla Arquitectos that have been constructed on New York's Governors Island aim to be more than just eye-catching temporary structure. Now, the pavilion is a reality, thanks to the support of the donors and many volunteers, young architects, artists, engineers and students who came every day to the island to help in the difficult and amazing task of building the pavilion. Proving that a different and participatory architecture is possible.

The pavilion by Izaskun Chinchilla Arquitectos at the end of the summer it will be recycled to make chandeliers and sun canopies (the pavilion by BanG studio will be an oyster beds).

Tons of work these last weeks but finally we've finished the NY City of Dream Pavilion 2015! People is already enjoying governors island under our big bunch of flowers so hurry up!

Built out of waste materials, their 95sqm canopy promotes cycling and allows 500,000 visitors to chill out under NY's biggest bouquet.
