PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A Lower Manhattan landmark, the Pavilion at Brookfield Place, is a public space that serves as an entrance to the Fulton Street Transit Center, accommodating approximately 100,000 commuters and visitors daily.

A pair of 54-foot-tall funnel-shaped, sculptural steel columns supports the roof and softly curved glass curtain walls, creating a lantern-glow from the 8,000-square-foot pavilion at night. Each column is composed of five separate vertical tiers, with the tubes held together by a continuous elliptical steel-ring plate. The two columns are tied together with deep beams concealed in the roof to support the weight of hung-glass curtain walls, while also providing lateral stability to maintain stability during wind and earthquakes.
