06.26-29.08: Solar One’s annual CitySol Festival was held at Stuyvesant Cove Park. For the third year in a row, the event featured an installation designed by Situ Studio that explores indeterminate construction systems and sustainable building practices manufactured with a zero-waste mandate.
The 4,000-square-foot pavilion’s structure consists of 2,500 slotted strips milled from 100 sheets of plywood that are woven together and joined with aluminum fasteners.
