Presentation:
Central Park is an urban public park located in the borough of Manhattan, in the city of New York, USA, designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after they won a competition in 1957. The dimensions of the rectangular park are approximately 4,000 x 800 meters.
With around 25 million visitors a year, Central Park is the most visited park in the United States and its numerous appearances in movies has made it one of the most famous urban parks in the world.
The park holds a total of 250,000 trees and around 300 species of animals. In summer the park holds different theatre performances, numerous open-air concerts, seminars, movie screenings, dances and children’s activities.
It must be highlighted that Central Park has been the backdrop for numerous movies and art exhibitions, such as that of Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 2005, titled The Gates, an ephemeral installation composed of 7,503 gates with free hanging saffron-coloured fabric panels seeming like a golden river appearing and disappearing through the bare branches of the trees.
Objective:
The objective of this competition for students of architecture and young architects, Central Park Summer Pavilion (CPSP) New York, is to create a multi-usage area in the emblematic Central Park that can host different activities in summer.
With its privileged location, the objective of the CPSP is to become a cultural and leisure reference point for inhabitants and visitors of the city, a space that is integrated in the natural environment of the park and that is flexible enough to adapt to a wide variety of activities on a moderate scale. Independent theatre, small concerts, temporary exhibits, conferences, book presentations...They will all take place in the CPSP.
The CPSP is envisioned as a meeting point for different cultural and leisure circuits, with the goal of using the same space for a broad range of daytime and nocturnal activities in a sustainable fashion that respects its surroundings. The idea is for it to become an obligatory stop for visitors to Central Park.
