BIG+MVVA 设计的布鲁克林大桥公园6号码头亮相，这是一个巨大的三角形木质观景平台和凉亭。这个提案振兴了纽约市的海滨。公园一期工程包括一个560平方米的三角形木结构（兼具观景平台和凉亭两种用途）。在这个平台能看见海港，自由女神像，麦哈顿天际线，布鲁克林大桥等壮丽景色。附近茂密的绿荫之地将这里包围，四季季相分明且亮丽。

BIG+MVVA have unveiled their design for Pier 6 of Brooklyn Bridge Park, a public space and pavilion in form of a massive wood-clad triangular viewing platform for events and skyline gazing.

BIG’s proposal for Brooklyn Bridge Park, a project that has revitalized the New York City waterfront, consists of a 6,000 ft2 (560 m2) triangular cross-laminated timber structure, serving both as pavilion and platform.  Sloping upwards 17.5 feet (5.3 m) in height from the foot of the large gathering lawn, the platform provides magnificent views of the surrounding harbor, the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline, and the Brooklyn Bridge. In conjunction with the adjacent greenery, Pier 6 will be dominated by a flower field and treed areas giving the area seasonal displays of color.

坡度缓和的阶梯式平台允许发生大小型各种活动，沿两条边设置的无障碍通道保证无阻通行。平台被纤细的钢珠支撑，下方的荫凉空间有可移动的街道家具，能适应人们聚餐到社区活动等各种尺度的需求。

Bjarke Ingels 认为这个公共平台上下两方的平等开放还有有机的曲线构造吸引人们到访，这个构造就像一个可变的人工礁能够适应城市居民的需求。

The surface of terraced stairs, softly illuminated, will allow for large and small events and is fully ADA accessible. The pavilion, supported by thin steel columns, is brightly lit with up-lights and provides shade, shelter and space for indoor activities. Movable site furniture underneath the platform will accommodate a variety of programs, from food carts and picnicking to community events and small performances.

Bjarke Ingels comments: “The Mantaray is a small public platform at the end of the pier – equally accessible above and below. Its namesake organic slopes and curves have been shaped by concerns for accessibility, safety, shelter, structure – like a manmade reef evolved to accommodate human life.”

平台不仅为这个公共空间提供了一片荫凉，同时临水一面形成戏剧化的上升效果。为这片海滨带来真正令人惊叹的构筑物。BIG于2013年春季夺冠，在于MVVA富有成效的合作中共同达成这一创作并赢得了评委的一致青睐。

“This spectacular structure will provide much-needed shade and a unique space for public events, while offering a dramatic ascent to the water’s edge,” said Regina Myer, President of Brooklyn Bridge Park. “We are so pleased with the collaboration between Michael Van Valkenburgh’s landscape design for the southern portion of the park, and Bjarke Ingels’ design for a breathtaking architectural addition that provides a truly special moment on the waterfront.”

BIG was selected as winner of the project in Spring 2013. The collaboration between MVVA and BIG has evolved into a fruitful partnership where pavilion and landscape design inform and inspire each other. The project won the unanimous approval of the Community Board’s executive committee, as well as from the city’s Public Design Commission.
