The 2011 City of Dreams Pavilion: Burble Bup!

The City of Dreams Pavilion Competition 2011 has a winner! The competition jury has selected the sustainable design of Bittertang’s Burble Bupto be installed on Governors Island for the summer 2011 season as a temporary central gathering and assembly point for arts and cultural activity on the island. Design ‘farm’ Bittertang envisioned strangers lounging and mingling within Burble Bup’s earthen walls, laying down and feeling comfortable underneath constantly shifting colored light. Under Burble Bup’s colorfully inflatable roof, visitors are enticed to stay, mingling among new friends and upon plush soil tubes.
