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. 

USES

The variety of uses for the CPSP is broad. They must be focused on activities that allow people to interact with each other and to have a dialogue with the park itself.

The project can be developed freely anywhere in the park, it is up to the participants to find a balance between the proposed usages and the fragile environment where it will be located.

  • –  Restaurants/Cafes
  • –  Relaxation area
  • –  Area for theatre performances/Stage
