Arquideas is a community of students and young professionals working in the world of architecture and design whose main objective is to showcase the talent and creativity of its young members, thereby bridging the gap between the academic and professional spheres of architecture and design.  The objective of this competition for students of architecture and young architects, Central Park Summer Pavilion (CPSP) New York, is to create a multi-usage area in the emblematic Central Park that can host different activities in summer.

With its privileged location, the objective of the CPSP is to become a cultural and leisure reference point for inhabitants and visitors of the city, a space that is integrated in the natural environment of the park and that is flexible enough to adapt to a wide variety of activities on a moderate scale. Independent theatre, small concerts, temporary exhibits, conferences, book presentations...They will all take place in the CPSP. 

The CPSP is envisioned as a meeting point for different cultural and leisure circuits, with the goal of using the same space for a broad range of daytime and nocturnal activities in a sustainable fashion that respects its surroundings. The idea is for it to become an obligatory stop for visitors to Central Park.

Therefore, the proposal must meet the demands and needs of residents and visitors, Restaurants/Cafes, Relaxation area, Area for theatre performances/Stage, Area for exhibits, Screening (movies) area, Fashion runway, Multi-use halls. The possible uses can be modified or omitted in accordance to the plans of each participant. The architecture, temporary or permanent, must be the element that connects the natural surroundings with the activities carried out, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy their leisure time, creating a space where the unexpected can occur.
