Description
Das New Yorker Architekturbüro MOS, das von Michael Meredith und Hilary Sample 2005 gegründet wurde, ist eines der wenigen in den Vereinigten Staaten, denen es gelingt, aus ihrer handwerklichen Bürostruktur ein gewichtiges Werk zu schaffen. Ihre Architektur experimentiert nicht mit sozialen Normen, sondern nutzt die Architektur, um soziales Miteinander architektonisch zu forcieren und Interaktionen zwischen den Bewohnern ihrer Häuser zu erleichtern. Die Projekte von MOS entstehen durch die Kombination einer Vielzahl von architektonischen Elementen: Schornsteine, Korridore, Höfe, Dächer, Fenster, usw. Ihre Arbeit ist teilweise selbstreferenziell und greift auf eine Reihe von Elementen, Ideen und Merkmalen aus ihrem eigenen Architekturkatalog zurück.

The New York architecture office MOS, founded by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, is one of the few in the United States that manages to build a quality work from their almost artisanal office structure. Their architecture's intention is not to programmatically experiment with social norms, wanting to use architecture to directly intervene or facilitate interactions between neighbors or occupants. MOS's projects are built through combining and aggregating a multiplicity of architectural elements: chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows, etc. Their work is partially self-referential, drawing on a consistent set of elements, ideas, and characteristics from their own architectural catalogue.
