A local architect is one of 50 finalists in the “
Draw Up a Chair” competition for New York City’s Battery Park.
John Dwyer’s design, titled “The Carbon Rune,” was among more than 1,500 design submissions to the contest, according to
Inhabitat magazine.
A panel of world-renowned jurors sifted through the entries. The top 50 designs are now on view near the Battery Green while the winning designer will be announced later this month. The prizewinner will receive $10,000 and his or her chair will be used in the park.
The city’s park commissioner Veronica White is quoted in the piece saying, “We are proud to share the designs with the public to receive feedback since the chair is for all New Yorkers and visitors to use when they come to Battery Park.”
