Public Farm One

Long Island City, NY

This project consists of an interactive, working farm sited at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. The design, which explores the use of sustainable and recyclable materials in a temporal space, was selected as the winning entry in the museum's Young Architects Program. Cardboard tubes were used as the primary building material, resulting in an expression of thoroughly integrated architecture and structure. Visually, PF1 is comprised of a field of "daisies," groupings of seven tube segments organized into patterned units. Within the grid of daisies, some individual tube segments extend down to reach the ground. These tubes serve as columns to support the entire structure.
