Woolly Mammoth in Queens
Visit MoMA P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center to see the courtyard pavilion built by MOS, the winner of this year's MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program. MOS's afterparty was recently reviewed by Mason Currey over at Metroplis Mag
Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith explained to a small gathering of journalists of which Currey was one, that a series of chimneys creates an air-pressure differential that draws cooler air from a shady corner of the courtyard through the pavilion.
afterparty is on view at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, in Long Island City, Queens, through September 28.

Forging partnerships in the City's dense civic and environmental networks is crucial to meeting Sallan's goals. Partnering is a powerful tool for educating the public about the paths leading to high performance cities. It is also the best tool in the kit for cultivating effective action because fruitful partnerships can give birth to something new by bringing together experts with opinion and decision makers and by drawing in both advocates and skeptics.
