Stop by to contribute to the spirit of public art on Governors Island!

How can what is discarded and headed for land-fill be revalued and transformed into somethign useful, and, perhaps, beautiful? Join us to find out! CDR Studio Architects will be hosting a workshop for our Governor's Cup Pavilion on Saturday August 16, 2014. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for the public to engage in architecture and construction. view full article

A DIY sensibility of participation and dialogue is at the heart of the Governor’s Cup design, construction and installation. The workshop aims to complete the construction of a serpentine extension of the Governor’s Cup Pavilion, extending the structure through a line of trees adjacent to the site. The pavilion is composed of recycled plastic cup units which are joined in patterns forming larger modules. The modules are configured with structural strategies inspired by crochet knitting techniques as well as in response to the specifics forms of the trees on the island.

In addition to this unique and fun experience, music and snacks will be provided for all.

Time: Saturday August 16th from 11:00am – 5:00pm

The Pavilion is located on the southwest side of the Parade Ground.

The Governor's Cup Pavilion Featured in INHABITAT, UNTAPPEDCITIES and ARTNET.

The Governor's Cup Pavilion has been receiving wonderful news coverage as it continues to delight its viewers throughout the summer. Says Artnet: "Particularly striking is CDR Studio's 'Governor’s Cup,' a collection of plastic cups that have been woven together with zip ties to create low, curving walls, surprisingly comfortable seating, hanging curtains suspended from evergreen trees, and, at least during the festival, fanciful capes.” view full article

The Pavilion will be on display at Governors Island until the end of the season. You can read the articles here, here and here.

CDR Studio Entry a Jury Selection for the Final Phase of the Waterfront Gateway Design Competition!

CDR Studio is thrilled to announce that our design proposal has been a jury selection for the final phase of the Waterfront Gateway Design Competition! CDR has partnered with DLand Studio and Vanguardia Development to create a proposal at the scale of the New Rochelle Armory as well as the larger waterfront/urban context. The public, open competition was created by the City of New Rochelle to seek out architectural design proposals and a workable development program for the New Rochelle historic military armory, its 2.92 acre site, and three adjacent land parcels, all located along the Long Island Sound's Echo Bay. view full article

CDR provided a comprehensive proposal and innovative development solution for the downtown site that links the commercial and residential core of New Rochelle to the waterfront of the Long Island Sound. CDR conceives of the Armory as a public portal that allows for new connections to the long-abused coastal edge. Together with DLand’s proposed conversion of mud-flats to wetlands, the New Rochelle Armory Portal is programmed as a threshold bridging New Rochelle’s urban fabric and it’s lost waterfront.

Below is an image of the Armory Portal. CDR re-imagines the Armory as a shared room of passage from the city to the park, creating a space that is flexible and offers a location shared public entities.

The Governor’s Cup Pavilion hovers in a cluster of trees on the northern side of the Parade Ground. Recycled plastic cups, sourced and discarded throughout the city, are supported by zip-ties from overhead cables, forming a dense knitted structure unspooling from the branches. The configuration forms an outdoor room, shimmering in the sun and echoing with breeze-driven sound.
