Weaving the Museum: 2 architects, 5 km of rope,  & a former schoolhouse called MoMA PS1 

Magic hour in MoMA PS1 courtyard, where Studio Escobedo Soliz has woven 5 km of rope into a canopy for summer events. The Mexico-City-based  team created the work as winners of the museum’s annual Young Architects Program.

MAXXI Temporary School: The museum is a school. A school is a Battleground by Parasite 2.0, winner of the Young Architects Program (YAP) in Rome.

The installation – composed of mobile elements depicting fantastic environments, animal silhouettes and fragments of landscape – along with being used as a backdrop for Summer events at MAXXI, is a reflection on the increasingly blurred boundary between space and its representation.

Every summer for the past 17 years, the Young Architects Program has chosen a designer to transform MoMA PS1’s courtyard in Long Island City, Queens, with a temporary installation. Past winners of this international competition have built giant towers from mushroom-based bricks, misty bamboo wonderlands, and swaying bungee hammocks filled with bouncy balls.

Get Up Close with Cosmo

MoMA PS1’s Young Architects Program is an annual opportunity for an innovative thinker to create a structure that will serve as the backdrop to the museum’s summer "Warm Up” concert series. Andrés Jaque’s “Cosmo,” an installation that doubles as a water-filtration system, was chosen as this year’s winning design. The summer concerts kicked off this past weekend on a rainy Saturday, but the crowds still turned out to enjoy the party and check out Jaque’s work.
