The City of Dreams Pavilion is a temporary gathering place for people to meet, learn about the arts programmess on the island, enjoy a planned or impromptu performance or lecture, and experience the interaction of art and the historic context of Governors Island. .

The City of Dreams Pavilion asks entrants to consider how they will construct this temporary structure in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. Entrants will consider the entire lifecycle of building materials in their submission, from pre construction through disassembly. In the end, the goal is to create a pavilion that has net zero impact and that serves as a prototype for a new, truly sustainable way of thinking about design and construction
