Loop-D-Loop Pavilion

LOOP-D-LOOP pavilion serves as a springboard to further development in the Coney Island area of Brooklyn.

Whether entering at grade or at the boardwalk level, visitors to this miniature oasis will be treated to the first drop of the cyclone. The journey into the sky from ground level reflects Coney Island’s rebirth.

The LOOP-D-LOOP pavilion embodies the freedom of spirit that Coney Island represented for inner-city residents at the turn of the last century. The pavilion is a pedestrian attraction that can be walked through. Therefore, all surfaces serve as extensions of the already existing linear boardwalk and are all accessible to pedestrians as the site is gradually revealed through physical ascension.

The building’s spiraling motion, enhanced by children running through it, creates a theatre of interaction when used alone. A race to the top of the building rewards the winner with an unobstructed view of the ocean, a seat from which to watch a game, a waiting area for a rider on the jump, or a respite from a hectic day at the park.

The most important fact to remember is that Coney Island can temporarily transform anyone into a child again.
