On Fri the 22nd of 2010 we had an opportunity to sit down w/ EASTON + COMBS and discuss their entry into this years MOMA P.S. 1 Young Architects Program.
CF: What was the initial design approach?
E+C: In our project entry for the 2010 YAP we began by conceptualizing this year’s shift in the theme to include some consideration of sustainable design issues. One of the critical questions we have been investigating is the role of innovation within architecture’s response to sustainability, and we saw the PS1 project as an extension of this research. Innovation and the defining concerns of budget and the schedule, were therefore our primary points of departure, which quickly intersected through questions of material research, fabrication and efficient assembly methodologies. We felt very strongly that a successful design proposal must raise the bar simultaneously in the aesthetic character of the courtyard and in terms of a truly innovative agenda regarding sustainable design. Given the new criteria set forth by the MoMA and PS1 committee we also saw the commission as an opportunity for the MoMA to play an active role in addressing the larger question of sustainability in design culture in the 21st century.

Anthony Caradonna: AC2 Studio/OPUS X: Lighting
(361 views)
There is some very interesting work coming out of Anthony Caradonna’s studio, in particular, the lighting prototypes that he is developing. The prototypes he is designing produce some interesting ambient qualities via cuts, folds, and overlap-page of material. I can see an incredible opportunity in his work with the play of material finishes in metal. We have featured his Pratt DesignTex Studio in the past, we will look to feature his studio research again in the near future. enjoy>
