CLB places steel "chapel" in Times Square for NYCxDesign
American studio CLB Architects has created a circular wood-and-steel "chapel" in New York City's Times Square to mark the return of the city's annual NYCxDesign festival.
The project, dubbed Filter, was commissioned by Design Pavilion, a local organization that builds public art installations.

The installation was initially set to be built for the 2020 edition of the city's annual design festival but was pushed back several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Created for Design Pavilion and the NYCxDesign Festival, Filter carves out space for quiet recentering within the frenetic energy of Times Square," said CLB Architects, a studio with offices in Jackson, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana.
The circular structure is made with folded weathering-steel plates. The photo is by Leonid Furmansky
"Designed as both a monumental object and an ephemeral experience, the pavilion establishes a new node in the heart of New York City’s urban fabric – reorienting that experience toward the natural, rather than the man-made," the studio added.
Two wooden ramps at opposite ends of the circular structure lead up to openings in the steel enclosure. The walls of the pavilion are made of large, folded steel plates that were cut to allow visibility through the structure.
The space provides a space for reflection in the middle of busy Times Square. The photo is by Leonid Furmansky
They rise to 20 feet (6 metres) tall and form a circle with a diameter of 24 feet (7.35 metres).
"Fluid shards of naturally weathered steel invite close inspection, and a gentle ramp leads around the perimeter, offering views of the space held within," said the architects.
The steel plates were spaced apart to create lines of sight. The photo is by Leonid Furmansky
A tree occupies the centre of the structure, marking a contrast with the urban context of Times Square. Around the perimeter of the space, V-shaped benches nest into the steel panels, offering visitors a place to briefly sit.
The installation was financially supported by Emit, an industrial manufacturing company based in Sheridan, Wyoming that also participated in manufacturing the steel components used for the pavilion.
There are benches around the interior on a slightly elevated wooden platform. The photo is by Leonid Furmansky
After NYCxDesign, the installation will be disassembled and returned to Wyoming to be installed outside the company's offices, while the tree will be donated to the New York City non-profit The Battery Conservancy.
"When it completes its cycle and reaches its final resting point in Sheridan, FILTER’s patina will reflect the accumulations of both dry western air and East Coast salinity," said the architects.

It was installed this week and will open to the public from May 7 through May 15.
NYCxDesign is an annual festival that is celebrating its tenth edition. The festival will run from May 10 to May 20 and showcase the best of New York City's design and architecture scene in a series of virtual and in-person events across the city.

CLB Architects has recently completed another public art installation in the American West, using glue-laminated timber panels to create a gathering space for the town of Bozeman.
Other public art installations around the USA include a range of sculptures by Wevolve Labs in Austin that are inspired by local plants and birds and an oversized playground designed by Architensions for Coachella.

Radiator in Brooklyn showcases emerging New York design talent
Upcoming Brooklyn exhibition Radiator will showcase furniture and functional art by New York-based designers, including neon light sculptures and a pink squiggly chair.
The exhibition will be held at The Gowanus Studio Space as part of the annual festival NYCxDesign's Design Days programme. The venue is a cooperative workspace for artists and designers.

Radiator will showcase the work of 12 up-and-coming artists and designers whose work spans furniture, lighting and home objects.
The exhibition, which is named for the concept of something emanating from a core, seeks to propel emerging creative talent into the spotlight.

"The show was conceived out of the realisation that there are so many talented and promising emerging designers in New York," curator Andrew Algier told Dezeen.
"Yet the exhibition opportunities for the established far outweigh those available to the emerging," he added.
"Radiator is designed to bring attention to and celebrate the work of younger studios that are serious about their craft."
Vinícius De Paula also uses resin for his lights
Algier's own work will also be part of the show with pieces by Algierwork, the curator and designer's Brooklyn-based studio practice.
Three pieces by Algierwork will be presented in Radiator, including a smooth wooden coffee table.
Among the exhibitors is designer Marcus Vinícius De Paula with a set of ethereal sculptures crafted from stone, glass and resin.
Vinícius De Paula inserts neon LED lights into the sculptures. The designs are informed by his father's work as a NASA engineer and his own former career in lighting and scenic design.

Furniture maker and artist Shaina Tabak will present a striking pink and lilac twisty chair, made in collaboration with textile artist Talia Connelly whose sketches are translated into final objects.
"The exhibitors were chosen by comparing the quality of the work to the apparent scale and reach of the studio," Algier explained. "We were looking for a very high quality of work, and a smaller scale and reach."
Shaina Tabak will present an ambiguous hot-pink chair
Another notable piece is Skybox Lamp, an iridescent pink floor lamp cast in a silver material by Brooklyn-based industrial designer Niles Fromm. Fromm's design interest lies in merging handmade craft with creative technology.
A navy blue wall lamp resembling a paperclip by New York sculptor and designer Sara Schoenberger will also be presented.

"The works on display could be described as comforting," said Algier. "There's a sense of weight or density that you feel when interacting with the objects in this show, which are primarily made from wood, metal and stone."
"However, within that weight, you find levity in the pops of colour and sometimes subtle whimsy light or a chair" continued the curator.

Located along the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, The Gowanus Studio Space offers space, equipment and support to emerging creatives.
Other current shows on display in New York include an exhibition featuring a pond filled with over a thousand mirrored balls in New York Botanical Garden by artist Yayoi Kusama, and Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America, an exhibition at MoMA confronting anti-Black racism in the built environment.
