ESCOBEDO SOLíZ STUDIO NAMED WINNER OF MOMA AND MOMA PS1’S YOUNG ARCHITECTS PROGRAM
Escobedo Solíz Studio has been selected by the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 as the winner of the annual Young Architects Program. Now in its seventeenth iteration, the program selects an environmentally sustainable temporary outdoor installation that offers MoMA PS1 visitors shade, seating, and water.
Escobedo Solíz Studio describes the firm’s winning project as “neither an object nor a sculpture standing in the courtyard, but a series of simple, powerful actions that generate new and different atmospheres.” Embankments with platforms of soil and water will appear together with a reflective wading pool, alongside a canopy suspended over the courtyard made of woven brightly colored ropes.
