MOMA en Queens

El PS1 es un centro de arte en Long Island City, Queens (NYC) perteneciente al Moma. Cada año convoca un concurso entre jóvenes arquitectos para levantar un pabellón efímero en su patio durante el verano, que sirve de arranque al período de Warm Up, donde se celebran eventos con artistas, arquitectos, músicos…
Este año ha ganado el estudio de Los Ángeles Ball Nogues (Benjamin Ball y Gaston Nogues), con el proyecto Liquid Sky.

El pabellón pretende sumergir al espectador en un visiones caleidoscópicas de colores creados en un entramado tensionado de “pétalos” tintados y traslúcidos de Mylar (un material empleado para filtros solares), asemejándose al proceso de floración.
Seis torres de postes construidas apoyarán la superficie al tiempo que proporcionarán espacios discretos en sus bases para crear zonas de relax con enormes hamacas. Para la galería al aire libre adyacente, el equipo ha diseñado el Droopscape, una catenaria ligera que cambia de orientación y se mueve con el viento, apoyada en las torres y que refresca mojando periódicamente a los visitantes que están debajo un sistema de cubos inducido por gravedad

fue su primera casa, un edificio espectacular en pleno soho

Donald Judd (1928 - 1994), artista estadounidense. Su obra se basa en el espacio y la realidad. Judd comenzó a trabajar como pintor, pero su trabajo evolucionó a objetos independientes en tres dimensiones, sobre suelo o pared que usan formas sencillas, a menudo repetidas, que a su vez exploran el espacio y el uso del espacio en que se encuentran.

texto original de donald judd:
" In November 68 I bought a cast-iron building in the Cast-Iron District of New York City. The building was built in 1870 and designed by Nicholas Whyte, whose only other cast-iron building is in Brazil. I don't know the first purpose of the building but suppose that something of cloth was made on the upper floors and sold on the lower ones, since many building in the are were stores, since the façade is fancy, not like that of a warehouse, and since it is mostly glass.
The building is on a corner and is a right angle of glass. The façade is the most shallow perhaps of any in the area and so is the furthest forerunner of the curtain-wall. The lot is only 25 x 75 feet. As usual, there are five stories and two basements, which originally were well-lit thorough the ground-level clerestory and the sidewalk.
The interior of the building was ruined. There had been a separate business on each floor, most with machines leaking oil. The trash was so much that Arman could have bought the building and left it alone. Around 1930, more than ten years after the Triangle fire, in which perhaps 140 women died because the fire escape doors were locked, which was a good reason to reform the building code, but which, as usual in the United States, was applied in excess and after the fact-they not only lock the barn door after the horse has been stolen, but burn the barn down to make sure it doesn't happen again-a fire escape was constructed on the façade, requiring the removal of some of the detail, a concrete wall was built round the open stairway, destroying most of the mahogany railings, and a sprinkler system was installed against the inside of the façade. This was for a small building with few employees. The building had been treated badly, as most in the area had been, as most are. The entire Cast-Iron District had been doomed for decades by the possibility of the Broome Street Expressway cutting through it.
I thought the building should be repaired and basically not changed. It is a 19th century building. It was pretty certain that each floor had been open, since there were no signs of original walls, which determined that each floor should have one purpose: sleeping, eating, working. The given circumstances were very simple: the floors must be open; the right angle of windows on each floor must not be interrupted; and any changes must be compatible. My requirements were that the building be useful for living and working and more importantly, more definitely, be a space in which to install work of mine and of others. At first, I thought the building large, but now I think it small; it didn't hold much work after all. I spent a great deal of time placing the art and a great deal designing the renovation in accordance. Everything from the first was intended to be thoroughly considered and to be permanent, as, despite several, still is. The renovation and installation was begun in 69 and was known by some who later used permanence to hide impermanence.

The building finally contained more work of others than of mine, but I thought of many works in regard to it, primarily rejected because they were elaborate and took too much space, and so went against the nature of the building. Other than leaving the building alone, then and now a highly positive act, my main inventions are the floors of the 5th and 3rd floors and the parallel planes of the identical ceilings and floor of the 4th floor. The baseboard of the 5th floor is the same oak as that of the floor, making the floor a shallow recessed plane. There is no baseboard, there is a gap between the walls and the floor of the 3rd floor, thus defining and separating the floor as a plane. These ideas were precedents for some small pieces and then for the 100 mill aluminum pieces in the Chinati Foundation. The renovation of the building and the permanent purpose of the building are precedents for the larger spaces in my place in Texas, Chinati de Mansana, for the Chinati Foundation, and will be for Ayala de Chinati.

when Gil Shapiro opened Urban Archaeology’s first showroom in 1978, he ignited the trend of salvage design, reusing discarded materials from demolished buildings in new ways. Now boasting two showrooms in Manhattan, plus three more in the Hamptons, Boston, and Chicago, Urban Archaeology remains on the movement’s cutting edge, reworking moldings, fixtures, and even entire walls into new and exciting designs. This location’s main space encompasses two floors, part showroom and part studio. Murals of salvaged mosaic combine with antique bathtubs and new lighting fixtures to show home renovators their many options. Downstairs, a studio houses Urban Archaeology’s designers and their first-rate replicas of antique and discontinued fixtures. Items like bathtubs, tables, and chairs come ready-made, but fixtures can be custom designed; the vast selection of tile and stone, sourced from over 100 U.S. locations, can be ordered through the showroom or on the website. Urban Archaeology also designs retail concepts for commercial spaces, including a number of swanky local boutiques.
