The Van Alen Institute has just announced their latest competition, The Parachute Pavilion, an open design competition for Coney Island.

The program involves inserting a restaurant, store, multi-purpose exhibition/event space, and office space, in a site adjacent to the Parachute Jump, out of operation since 1968. Visit the competition web page for detailed information. Sounds like a fun competition.

Early registration deadline is December 15.

Update 11.18: Although Van Alen's web page indicates an early registration deadline of December 1, the actual deadline has been extended until December 15. Registration before that date is discounted to $30 for everybody. After that date, students still pay $30 but professionals pay $60.
