Thanks to Brownstoner, I have this story about the winning entry of the Coney Island Parachute Pavillions. All I can say is WOW. And thank you, Brownstoner, for bringing this to my attention.

"A quartet of Londoners–Chris Hardie, Andrew Groarke, Kevin Carmody,
and Lewis Kinneir–beat out 863 other design teams to win the Coney
Island Parachute Pavilion competition, the Coney Island Development
Corporation and the non-profit Van Alen Institute announced yesterday.
The design, with it s web of lights rising 30 feet from the ground, is
part of a larger push to rejuvenate the once-festive area. The
7,800-square-foot pavilion, rendered above, includes a restaurant,
souvenir shop and exhibition space."
