(MOS)
The architectural firm MOS (pronounced “moss,” but not to be confused with the design emporium) is the winner of the the 2009 Museum of Modern Art/P.S.1 Young Architects Program, the museums announced today. Now in its tenth year, the program gives emerging architectural talents the opportunity to design and present innovative projects. Past winners include nARCHITECTS, Xefirotarch, and WORKac.
Cambridge- and New Haven-based MOS triumphed over five other finalists that were invited to present an urban landscape for the large courtyard entrance of P.S.1. With a project budget of $70,000, the architects were required to incorporate elements of shade, water, seating, and bar areas into a proposed project. MOS’s winning landscape, “afterparty” (pictured above, in model form), will be on view in P.S.1’s outdoor courtyard starting in June, and will be the venue for the museum’s Warm Up summer music series. Read on for how MOS’s climate-altering design will help cool down Warm Up.
