The 2009 winner of P.S.1's Young Architects Program was AfterParty by MOS, an architecture firm located in New Haven Connecticut and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The pavilion was constructed in the courtyard on a budget of $70,000 and opened for viewing today.
This landscape will serve as the backdrop for the 2009 Warm Up summer music series. Required 'progam' elements included shade, water, seating, and bar areas. The inspiration for the concept was the Bedouin tent. "Cool air from the thermal mass of the courtyard's shaded concrete walls and concrete water troughs located in the center of the structure will be drawn up through a series of cooling chimneys by induction," according to the project description.
The other finalists are !ndie architecture (Denver, Colorado), Bade Stageberg Cox (Brooklyn, New York), L.E.FT architects (New York, New York), and PARA-project (Brooklyn, New York). An exhibition of their proposed projects will be on view at MoMA over the summer.
