Now you can bring a piece of it home with you (pho­to from design​trust​.blogspot​.com)”][/​caption] If you vis­it­ed Gov­er­nors Island this sea­son, you like­ly noticed the Liv­ing Pavil­ion on the Parade Ground. Thou­sands of peo­ple have seen the pavil­ion, walked through it and watched how it changed over the course of the last four months. Begin­ning this Sat­ur­day, FIG­MENT will be dis­as­sem­bling the struc­ture and they are invit­ing mem­bers of the pub­lic to take a piece of it home with them. As they dis­man­tle the pavil­ion, they will dis­trib­ute the plant­ed and unplant­ed dairy crates. This way, you can actu­al­ly build your own lit­tle pavil­ion at home. Or, you can take home a sin­gle crate and enjoy the beau­ti­ful green plants and pur­ple Lilirope that are a part of the struc­ture. FIG­MENT will begin dis­as­sem­bling the Liv­ing Pavil­ion this Sat­ur­day and will con­tin­ue on Sun­day, Octo­ber 3. Begin­ning at 2 PM on Sat­ur­day, you can stop by the Parade Ground, lend a hand in tak­ing the pavil­ion apart, and take some of it home with you! The Pavil­ion is the result of an inter­na­tion­al design com­pe­ti­tion spon­sored by FIG­MENT, The Emerg­ing New York Archi­tects Com­mit­tee of the Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Archi­tects New York Chap­ter (ENYA), and the Struc­tur­al Engi­neers Asso­ci­a­tion of New York (SEAoNY).
