The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 announce New York and Madrid-based Andrs Jaque/Office for Political Innovation as the winner of the annual Young Architects Program (YAP). The program, now in its sixteenth edition, offers emerging architects the opportunity to design a temporary, outdoor installation within the courtyard at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, New York. The installation will serve as the backdrop for the Warm Up summer music series and will provide shade, seating, and water while addressing environmental issues related to sustainability and recycling.

Selected from five finalists, the design by Andrs Jaque, called COSMO, will open at MoMA PS1 in late June. COSMO will be made with customized irrigation components and is engineered to filter and purify 3,000 gallons of waterone cycle will take four days and will repeat continually to further purify the water. Each time a cycle is complete, the stretched-out plastic mesh at the core of the construction will glow. Jaques concept addresses the statistic put forth by the United Nations estimating that, by 2025, two thirds of the global population will live in countries that lack sufficient water.

This years proposal takes one of the Young Architects Programs essential requirementsproviding a water feature for leisure and funand highlights water itself as a scarce resource, said Pedro Gadanho, curator in MoMAs Department of Architecture and Design. Relying on off-the-shelf components from agro-industrial origin, an exuberant mobile architecture celebrates water-purification processes and turns their intricate visualization into an unusual backdrop for the Warm Up sessions.

Klaus Biesenbach, MoMA PS1 Director and MoMA Chief Curator at Large adds Last year Hy-Fi, a nearly zero carbon footprint construction by The Living, raised awareness of ecological and climate change. This year COSMO continues to do so, addressing the issue of increasingly scarce water supplies worldwide in a successful and innovative way.

The other finalists for this years MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program were brillhart architecture (Jacob Brillhart), Erin Besler, The Bittertang Farm (Michael Loverich) and Studio Benjamin Dillenburger (Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer). An exhibition of the five finalists' proposed projects will be on view at MoMA over the summer, organized by Pedro Gadanho, curator, with Leah Barreras, department assistant, Department of Architecture and Design, MoMA.
