New Amsterdam Plein & Pavilion

Peter Minuit Plaza, Battery Park

This celebratory centerpiece of Peter Minuit Plaza—the Dutch man who bought the island of Manhattan from the Canarsee tribe (who, like most people who sell real estate in Manhattan, actually lived in Brooklyn)—was appropriately designed by Dutch architectural firm UNStudio as a public space that will offer a relaxing way-station for beleaguered travelers, with the plein (French for "open space") hosting public events and open-air markets as well as seating and tables for visitors to enjoy the extension of nearby Battery Park. At the center of the open space will be a sculptured pavilion intended to look—from an aerial perspective—like an opening flower and will be adorned with festive LED lighting to provide the pavilion with a colorful lightshow after dusk.
