Now in its 19th edition, the Young Architects Program at The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 has offered emerging architectural talent the opportunity to design and present innovative projects, challenging each year’s winners to develop creative designs for a temporary outdoor installation that provides shade, seating, and water.
Hide & Seek serves as a temporary urban landscape for the 21st season of Warm Up, MoMA PS1’s pioneering outdoor music series. Winner of The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1’s annual Young Architects Program, this year’s construction is a responsive, kinetic environment that features eight intersecting elements arrayed across the entirety of the MoMA PS1 courtyard. Hide & Seek by Jennifer Newsom and Tom Carruthers of Dream The Combine, in collaboration with Clayton Binkley of Arup, will be on view in MoMA PS1’s courtyard from June 28 through September 3, 2018. Read ARCHITECT's coverage of the design announcement. Structural Engineer/Lighting Design: Arupįabrication/Installation: Murphy Rigging & Erecting LnJ Tech Services Liskelly Construction Checkpoint Welding & Fabrication Jennifer Newsom, AIA, Tom Carruthers (principals and lead architectural design) Max Ouellette-Howitz, Tom Vogel, Nero He, Emmy Tong, Mikki Heckman When asked how this commission has impacted their studio, Newsom says: “People know who we are.”Ĭlient: The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and MoMA PS1Īrchitect: Dream the Combine, Minneapolis. The duo founded Dream the Combine in 2013, and Newsom is the first black architect to win YAP. Fulfilling the brief’s requirement for a water element to cool visitors, the top two trusses contain a misting system, and LED fixtures illuminate the mist at night, creating “a kind of literal watercolor,” Carruthers says.Īs the name suggests, YAP, now in its 19th official year, has become an incubator for young design talent. A mesh canopy stretches over many of the steel frames, shading party guests from the summer sun. Angling the mirrors just so was “like playing pool but with mirrors and eyeballs,” Carruthers says.Ī raised “runway” occupies one of the steel frames in the largest courtyard, while a polyester rope hammock occupies one of the two smaller spaces. But they also bring more of the party inside: A mirror mounted at the northwest corner reflects the line that forms at the door and snakes around the museum on Saturday nights. The mirrors move, in response to wind or human touch, reflecting changing views. So with the design for Hide & Seek-the duo’s winning design for the annual Young Architects Program (YAP) summer pavilion that shelters and shades attendees of MoMA PS1’s weekly Warm Up concert series-“we’re after this visceral experience in the body,” says partner Jennifer Newsom, AIA.Ĭarruthers and Newsom, in collaboration with Clayton Binkley of Arup, mounted 34 mirrored glass sheets, grouped into 14 gimbaled panels, onto a framework of steel trusses set in and above MoMA PS1’s trio of connected, concrete-walled courtyards, dividing the outdoor space into smaller, human-scaled sections. “The museum can throw a hell of a party without architecture,” says Tom Carruthers, half of the Minneapolis-based partnership Dream the Combine, standing in the courtyard of MoMA PS1, the Queens outpost of New York City’s Museum of Modern Art.
