Everything All At Once

MOS is an interdisciplinary practice that focuses on architecture and design and its engagement to context at different scales; ranging from the immediate context of structure, fabrication, material, program and use to larger social, cultural and environmental networks. Working under the premise of radical inclusion, MOS conducts research and experiments related to product design, exhibition design and filmmaking alongside residential and cultural architectural commissions. MOS is founded on the idea of collaboration and is led by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample who work with artists, graphic designers, engineers and programmers, whose influences can be traced through each of their projects. Based in New York City, their current projects include Element House (a guest house adjacent to the site of Star Axis in New Mexico), a temporary cinema at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, and a complete interior redevelopment for the Sterling Opera House (an historic theater) in Derby, Connecticut. Built projects include an artist studio for Terry Winters, Instant Untitled at the American Pavilion at the 2010 Venice Biennale, Afterparty at the 2009 PS1/MoMA Young Architects Program, and a puppet theater at the Carpenter Center at Harvard University with Pierre Huyghe. MOS' work has been published internationally and in 2010 they were the recipients of an Academy Award from the Academy of Arts and Letters, the Emerging Voice from the Architecture League of New York in 2008, and an Avant-Guard Award from Surface Magazine.
