At 1pm EST today, the Coney Island Development Association and the Van Alen Institute announces the winner of the Parachute Pavilion, an open ideas competition for a year-round structure at the base of the famous Parachute Jump. Having registered but not completed the competition, I'm especially eager to see the winning design. I'll post some images and information on the winning entry once it becomes available.
And the winner is...the team of Kevin Carmody, Andrew Groarke, Chris Hardie and Lewis Kinneir, of London, chosen from more than 850 entries from 46 countries. According to Van Alen's press release, "The winning design team receives $10,000 and the opportunity to work with Van Alen Institute to develop a program and a publication that demonstrate the role of powerful design in improving the City...Second prize of $5,000 was awarded to Ramon Knoester and Eckart Graeve of Brooklyn and the Netherlands, and the $3,000 third prize went to Roman Torres, Patrick Stinger, Mayva Marshall and Adam Montalbano of Philadelphia. There were nine Honorable Mentions representing entries from London, Paris, Copenhagen, Athens and the Netherlands, as well as the United States."
