What’s New Sunlight and Shade By Angela Matua www.qns.com i LIC COURIER i March 2017 11 Creating the canopy and accompanying parts required several disciplines including coding, materials science and engineering. “Through direct references to the flexibility and sensitivity of the human body, ‘Lumen’ integrates adaptive materials and architecture where code, pattern, human interaction, environment, geometry and matter operate together as a conceptual design space,” the artist’s website read. Sabin runs her own experimental architecture studio in Ithaca where she works with scientists, engineers, artists, architects and designers to “explore the intersection of architecture and science.” The Young Architects Program challenges architects to develop an original design for a temporary outdoor installation at MoMA PS1 that provides shade, seating and water. Around 50 firms are nominated every year and a panel of judges chooses the winner. “Lumen” will make its debut on June 29 at 22-25 Jackson Ave. and will be available for patrons all summer.
