Young Architects Project (YAP) 2016 at The MoMA

This exhibition features the five finalists’ proposals from the MoMA/MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program (YAP), in addition to five finalists from each of our affiliated programs—the National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome, Italy (MAXXI); the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea (MMCA); and CONSTRUCTO in Santiago, Chile. Now in its 17th edition, the Young Architects Program at MoMA PS1 offers emerging architectural practitioners the opportunity to propose a built project, challenging each year’s entrants to develop highly innovative designs for a temporary outdoor installation that provides shade, seating, and water. The architects must also work within guidelines that address environmental and contextual issues. Winning designs by Escobedo Soliz Studio (Mexico City, Mexico), Parasite 2.0 (Milan, Italy), and Shinslab Architecture—Shin Hyung Chul (Korea and France) will be on view throughout the summer in the courtyards of MoMA PS1, MAXXI, and MMCA, respectively, and in Santiago, Chile, from March through May 2017.
