Конкурс посвящен Павильону штата Нью-Йорк, спроектированному архитектором Филипом Джонсоном и построенному для Всемирной выставки 1964 года. Несмотря на то, что объект включен в в Национальный реестр исторических мест США, сегодня он находится в плачевном состоянии. Участникам необходимо предложить свои идеи по возрождению павильона, его повторному открытию для новых поколений.

A Philip Johnson-designed masterpiece, the New York State Pavilion was the shining star of the 1964-65 World’s Fair, charming millions of visitors who flocked to Queens for the two-year celebration.
From its towering “Astro-View” observation decks to the open-air “Tent of Tomorrow,” it was unlike anything anyone had ever seen.
Fast forward to today. After decades of disuse and deterioration, this one-of-a-kind structure is poised for a dramatic comeback…but as what?
Presented by the National Trust and People for the Pavilion, and sponsored by Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, the New York State Pavilion Ideas Competition is an “anything goes” approach to radically re-imagine one of New York City’s most iconic buildings and a defining landmark of Queens.
You do not have to be an architect or an engineer to enter. This competition is open to anyone over the age of 13 who loves the Pavilion and wants to see it reopened for future generations.
