Sunday was a beautiful day - not a cloud in the sky - the perfect background for the P.S.1 courtyard installation, Canopy, designed by New York's nARCHITECTS.
(Additional information and photographs inside)
The diaphanous installation is the winning design in the fifth annual MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects program that redefines the museum courtyard every summer, on a budget of no more than $60,000. The delicate shadowcasting bamboo lattice is anchored by several lounge nodes: the Pool Pad with a wading pool, the Fog Pad that emits a very fine mist, a Rainforest room that rains, and a Sand Hump that acts as a mini-beach.
Canopy will be open to the public through September 5, serving as the venue for P.S.1's Warm Up music series on Saturdays.
P.S.1 (718-784-2084) is located at 22-25 Jackson Avenue (at 46th Avenue) in Long Island City, Queens. Museum hours are 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. Thursday through Monday.
