The Pavilion will be made entirely from waste. The City of Dreams Pavilion aims to &ldquo;promote sustainability-oriented thinking amidst the architecture and design communities.&rdquo;</p> <p>{googleAdsense}</p> <p>The aluminium recycled cans will be melted and cast into cracked clays so that the cracked will create a pattern for building the pavilion. Once the festival gets over the aluminium panels will be recycled into decorative objects.</p> <p>Every year a jury selects a team to design and build a pavilion on Governors Island. This year, Team Aesop in collaboration between several designers and engineers will construct the City of Dreams Pavilion Competition:&nbsp;Cast &amp; Place.</p>
