City of Dreams Pavilion: Burble Bup

Burble Bup_Bitterang Governor's IslandThe winner of this year’s two-round City of Dreams Pavilion competition, hosted by Figment, ENYA, and SEAoNY, is Bitterang and their Burble Bup entry. Entrants were asked to imagine a socially and ecologically-sustainable public meeting space.

Burble Bup will be constructed on Governor’s Island for an early-June opening date. Bitterang “strives to bring happiness and pleasure into the built world by referencing that pleasurable world which surrounds us. Our work explores multiple themes including pleasure, frothiness, biological matter, animal posturing, babies, sculpture and coloration all unified through bel composto.” Burble Bup certainly fits the bill with its biological quality.

According to Figment: “…The recyclability of the project occurs at various levels, some materials are recycled into other projects or reused, while others are toys to be enjoyed by children. None the less, all materials chosen will enhance our surroundings after their deployment in our pavilion.”

The other four finalists can be seen on Figment’s site, as well.
