Afterparty at P.S.1

blog_gallery_goround.jpgP.S.1 celebrated the tenth anniversary of its Young Architects Program on Sunday by unveiling its latest winning design, Afterparty, dreamed up by Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith of the firm MOS. The final product is one part Gothic cathedral, one part Where the Wild Things Are. Think: austere, curving metal frames covered in aluminum mesh and Indonesian palm thatch, sculpted into domes and tall "cooling chimneys." Sunday's crowd was pretty low-key, with visitors lounging in and around the shady structure, but beginning on July 4th the courtyard will transform to the home of PS1's famous Warm Up music series.
