At the sunken living room, the ceiling height increases from 9’ to 11’. The open kitchen, dining, and living spaces were designed for large family gatherings as well as fundraisers and public events. Details like the drink rail, bookshelves, and built-in benches bring down the scale of the space.

I'd been expecting slightly more of a solid, durable feel to the results of an Iron Designer contest, but the no-power-tools stipulation ruled out the use of any 2x4s or heavier materials. While it's not the first time that the concept of 'Iron Designer' has been summoned as the theme for a design competition (see Columbia GSAPP's event at Spacebuster last year), the idea has yet to be executed successfully for the silver screen. As for now, we'll take these deployable structures in celebration of a worthy fundraiser over HGTV's Design Star any day.

New York State Pavilion (Queens, New York: 1964) History: Designed by modernist icon Philip Johnson and dubbed the “Tent of Tomorrow,” this World’s Fair pavilion once held a cable suspension roof and was clad in a terrazzo floor featuring a Texaco highway map of the state. Critic Louise Huxtable said it was “a sophisticated frivolity…seriously and beautifully constructed…a ‘carnival’ with class.” Status: After the fair, the site had a series of second lives as a concert venue and roller rink, but has since become a rusted relic. What You Can Do: The group People for the Pavilion has organized a series of fundraisers and continues to raise awareness of the structure and support restoration efforts.

Orange County Government Center (Goshen, New York: 1967) History: Architect Paul Rudolph, then dean of the Yale School of Architecture, created this Brutalist structure, which has been praised as a fantastic example of the form. Sadly, some Orange County legislators don’t share the same opinion, owing to occasional leaks (a storm in the 1970s required workers to string up a tarp) resulting from poor upkeep over time. One went so far as to call it a “monstrosity.” Status: In 2013, a vote authorized funds to preserves the building, but subsequent reports suggest the option of demolition or replacement is still on the table. What You Can Do: The Paul Rudolph Foundation posts updates about the building and has organized events and fundraisers to raise awareness of its plight. Image Credit: Joe Schumacher, Creative Commons
