The American Institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIANY) and the Governors Island Preservation & Education Corporation (GIPEC) are sponsoring an exhibit that includes five design schemes for open space on Governors Island. The exhibit will run through most of the summer at both the AIANY’s Center for Architecture and on Governor’s Island, showcasing the plans of five firms selected from a field of 29 that submitted designs to create a new park on the island. The firms include Field Operations with Wilkinson/Eyre Architects; Hargreaves Associates/Michael Maltzan Architecture; REX/MDP; West 8/Rogers Marvel/Diller Scofidio+ Renfro/Quennell Rothschild/SMWM; and WRT + Urban Strategies. A jury of officials will review the five plans this summer, taking into account public input, and recommend that one be implemented. TRD
