The Landing

The Landing is a multifunctional visitor’s center on Governors Island which challenges the military past of the site. The rotating panels and kinetic nature of the pavilion allow for flexibility in various programming while keeping the space fully open. The project takes full advantage of its geographic location next to the water to maximize use year-around by fully adapting to prevailing winds and sun position. As the first point of entry onto the island, the Landing will become the community’s focal point to welcome visitors and encourage interaction with the Island.
