The spiked, sky-blue structure in the courtyard of MoMA PS1 in New York is more than just a striking design.
It's also an award-winning installation, as well as an environmentally friendly structure designed to combat air pollutants.
Matthias Hollwich, lecturer in architecture in Penn's School of Design and principal at the New York-based firm Hollwich Kushner (HWKN), won MoMA PS1's prestigious Young Architects Program award for the spiked structure, "Wendy." The Young Architects Program is a launching pad for architectural and design firms, and challenges participants to create a temporary outdoor installation in the MoMA PS1 courtyard that provides shade, seating, and water.
