Among the many events New Yorkers look forward to each summer, the architectural installation in the courtyard of MoMA PS1 has become a haven for those who love art, music and design. As part of the Young Architects Program (YAP), each year a jury selects five finalists to present proposals which promise to transform the museum\u2019s outdoor space from a barren rock garden into a rock music venue with performances and open-air galleries. Highly saturated in both beer and enthusiasm, PS1\u2019s music series \u201cWarm Up\u201d occurs in tandem with the installation, providing an eager audience to inhabit these temporary structures.<\/p>\n

Each year, however, four unrealized projects never leave the digital realm. These are architectural apocrypha that are immortalized in the freedom of their virtual existence, and also play a critical role in identifying emerging talent in the architectural field. The Young Architects Program has since expanded to include programs globally in Rome, Istanbul, Santiago and Seoul. In advance of this summer\u2019s installation in New York by Escobedo Sol\u00edz Studio<\/a>, a Mexico City based firm, we reflect on some of the unbuilt work that has been produced as part of YAP.<\/p>\n

These apparently massive forms loom over the courtyard, providing much desired shade for the otherwise concrete space. For added effect, the edges drip water as if made of weeping solid ice blocks.<\/p>\n

MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program: Moments<\/a><\/b> by AEDS | Ammar Eloueini Digit-all Studio Design<\/a>, Queens, N.Y., United States<\/p>\n

Comprised of subtlety placed pavilions throughout the courtyard, this project makes no grand gesture but rather provides the framework for simultaneous intimate \u201cmoments\u201d to occur.<\/p>\n

A net of mirrors is designed to both reflect light away from the courtyard and catch a glimpse of yourself in the slumping surface. Underneath, the cool environment gives revelers a refuge away from the summer sun.<\/p>\n

An installation to engage visitors in a visual and aural landscape sourced from the occupants themselves. This project delves into issues of scale, inter-connectivity, texture and phenomenological experiences.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the wackiest of recent proposals, this resourceful intervention brings together a tapestry of NYC\u2019s salon leftovers \u2014 human hair!<\/p>\n

Using air as a building material, Bade Stageberg Cox abstracts a cloud form to make shade. This proposal produces virtually no solid waste, a practice for which past installations have been strongly criticized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
