Description |
|
Jean Nouvel has
created a pavilion to enclose a
beautiful carousel that was built in
1922. The architect's website
says that, "... Jane’s
Carousel sits between the massive
stoned pier of the Brooklyn Bridge
and the slender blue steel pier of
the Manhattan Bridge, a few feet
from the East River. The
pavilion’s aim is to be a
protective shelter for the
carousel, as well as a welcoming
public space for the children of
the city coming for enjoyment and
a fun-filled ride."
