Pavilion architecture has a rich history with roots leading back to the humble tent and progressing to the global exposition stage. Given their flexibility and temporary nature, pavilions have functioned as a medium for architects to explore innovative concepts and advance the discipline. Because of their temporality, pavilions can make such contributions without some of the more stringent building codes and requirements and become laboratories to test novel design approaches. Looking towards the models set forth by the Serpentine Gallery Pavilions and the Venice Biennale, this thesis proposes an original annual pavilion competition hosted at the historic site of the 1964-65 World's Fair, Flushing Meadow Corona Park in Queens, NY. It focuses on revitalizing the existing New York State Pavilion, designed by Philip Johnson, and reintroduces the excitement and innovation associated with pavilion architecture. The new pavilion competition focuses on the sustainability of temporary architecture, emphasizing material life cycle and reuse. The proposed pavilions serve as a teaching tool that engages the public and professionals in broadly examining construction materials and their potential diversion from landfills.
