NY: Pop-Up Gay Weddings Planned for Central Park Saturday – Designs Chosen

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Pop-Up Wedding ChapelDesigns have been chosen from a competition for two “Pop-Up” chapels that will be constructed at Merchants’ Gate near 59th Street in Central Park this Saturday. 24 gay and lesbian couples have been selected to marry in them. Pop Up Chapel begins at 10 am.

Architizer, which sponsored the competition with The Knot, writes about the winning entries:

Z-A Studio’s “KISS” is a tulip-like volume, comprised of gently caressing waves of stacked recycled honeycomb cardboard. The ensemble is supported by a plywood base, while all materials will be affixed using common wood glue. The architects suggest that the union of the two delicate forms creates a “stable entity, that is more than the sum of its parts”-an apt description of marriage, we think. When abstracted the same sentiment speaks to the nature of architectonics and space, which, perhaps, is only made present by the joining of constituencies. The formal motif can also be extended to other parts of the site, with curving tables and benches accommodating guests and other couples. We also loved the architect’s adorable send off: “Give KISS a chance!”
