New Amsterdam Pavilion New York’s Battery Park by UNStudio

The New Amsterdam Pavilion by Dutch architects UNStudio has opened to the public in New York’s Battery Park. The four wings of the pavilion give it a flower-like form, which is illuminated by different coloured lights after midnight.

As point of interest for the Battery, the Pavilion will encourage visitors to engage and interact with the displays and functions provided. The value of the project extends beyond its immediate programmatic function by first raising awareness of the historical relationship between the Netherlands and its role in New York’s history, as well as by responding to the opportunity for a welcomed social venue at this lively site.
