The Museum of Modern Art and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center announced the winner of the ninth annual MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program: WORK Architecture Company from New York.
The purpose of the program is to provide emerging young talent in architecture with the chance to prepare and present architectural solutions for a specific site.
This year, five finalists selected by a closed nomination process were asked to present an urban landscape for the large entrance courtyard of P.S.1, with the allotted project budget of $70,000.
Essential to the design were elements of shade, water, seating, and bar areas.
WORK Architecture Company's winning landscape, PF1 (Public Farm One), will be on view in P.S.1's outdoor courtyard starting June 26, and will serve as an interactive environment for the 2008 Warm Up summer music series.
PF1 (Public Farm One) is an urban farm concept that evokes the look of a flying carpet landing in the P.S.1 courtyard.
Constructed from large cardboard tubes, its top surface will be a working farm, blooming with a variety of vegetables and plants.
The structure will create a textured, colorful, and constantly changing surface in contrast with P.S.1's angular concrete and gravel courtyard.
PF1 will work as an interactive bridge between outside and inside, creating multiple zones of activity including swings, fans, sound effects, innovative seating areas, and a refreshing pool at its center.

Plans for a London building designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning, Baghdad-born architect Zaha Hadid have been dropped as a result of the credit crunch that began with the subprime mortgage collapse.
The building was to have been the first permanent one in Britain by Ms. Hadid, who is known for bold, unconventional forms and was chosen last month to design the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
The $10 million London structure, scheduled for completion in July 2009, was to have served as headquarters for the Architecture Foundation.
The Evening Standard in London reported that senior members of the foundation said they were unable to guarantee sufficient money from donors to cover the costs because of "economic nervousness" and a stock market slump.
Ms. Hadid called the decision "disappointing."
