Weisz + Yoes came up with and developed a Carousel based on the theme of sea life that links this new feature with the original New York Aquarium. In place of traditional symmetry and enclosure, the proposed architecture is a dynamic unfolding of an organic, moving, musical and lighting experience. Its materiality will take embedded light sources with poured translucent fiber based materials, along with structural steel to create a luminous, glowing environment.

Even before its public announcement The Battery Park Carousel was featured as ‘The best of New York’ in the New York Post when viewed at last years Going Public exhibition at the Center for Architecture.
