Project Description
From a Museum of Modern Art Press Release:
"According to Terence Riley, Chief Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, "Lindy Roy's proposal combines enormous architectural skill with a powerful ability to make subjective associations between spaces, materials, and images. She reminds us that, below the surface, fantasy and function are often related."
ROY's winning design will transform P.S.1's outdoor galleries into a multi-use environment, featuring three major components: climate, activity, and relaxation. A tropical climate, created by misting equipment and walls of fans set at varying speeds, greets guests as they enter past a monumental photographic image of a parting sea. Visitors can splash in the circular pools dotting the courtyard or lounge in one of 21 large-scale nylon hammocks."
