i'm thinking it's either n architects or shop...
and i think it's the canopy at ps1...so if it's not
one of the two above then it's another entry in the
young architect's series that happens every year...

Or it could be one of those early Greg Lynnesque project with the balls moving all over the place and "generating" a giant blob... One of his students, Ammar Eloueni, did a project like that. I've heard he now teaches in an arch school in Chicago, I don't know which one though...

thank larslarson for your help...

i checked out the PS1 project... (n architects) but it wasnt that one...

french, thanks as well- it wasnt lynny or ammar (i think he's at uic right now...)

the project im thinking of was kind of a morphosis-like jaggedy roof... it took into account how people would enter the open space... and how they were most likely to move around in... and thus the resulting form... which covered the main areas where people were most like to gather, etc... etc...

is it a built project?

ok...then i think it's this guy
Tom Wiscombe of Emergent ...who won a year or two ago

thanks lars!!! you're a star...

french, it was built... built photos and all here....
