The Park at the Center of the World Exhibition, NYC
The exhibition, located on both Governors Island and the Center for Architecture in Manhattan, used similar devices to tie the spaces together. The design used a blue line as representative as a datum, waterline and horizon.
The edges of extruded display boxes are "wrapped" with transparent blue Plexiglas to represent water and sky. These items tried to reinforce thematically the content but not overpower it. The show “The Park at the Center of the World: Five Visions for Governors Island” features five landscape architecture and architecture teams selected to present their compelling design visions for the future open spaces on Governors Island, the 172 acre Island off the tip of Manhattan.
