Artnet news looked at the afterlife of some of YAP pavilions that have graced the MoMA PS1 courtyard in Queens. Here's a quick summary of some of the featured anecdotes:

SHoP Architects "Dunescape," 2000

SHoP Architects, the firm behind the recently-inaugurated Barclays Center in Brooklyn, designed "Dunescape" comprising cedar structures that you could climb over and in. At the end of the summer, the wood was donated to a trade school where it used for woodworking practice.

Tom Wiscombe Architecture "Light-Wing," 2003

The designer behind the "Old Bank District Museum" projects slated for Downtown LA, Tom Wiscombe's pavilion for MoMA PS1 featured shallow pools and a translucent roof. The structure was built with aluminum pipe and mesh, which was later sold for scrap.

Interboro Partners "Holding Pattern," 2011

A project that explicitly centered around the future reuse of its pavilion materials, Interboro Partner's "Holding Pattern" comprised furniture and other objects that were specifically designed for members of the community. They started by simply meeting with various members of the local Queens community and seeing what objects they could use, from a ping pong table to a rock climbing wall. The objects were then "on hold" in the MoMA PS1 courtyard until the end of the summer, when they were distributed to their "rightful owners."

HWKN "Wendy," 2012

An air-filtration system that looked it had emerged from another galaxy, the spiky-blue "Wendy" by HWKN travelled to Abu Dhabi after its stay in Queen. A sheik arranged displaying the structure for Abu Dhabi Sustainability week.

Andrés Jaque "COSMO," 2015

The structure currently installed at PS1, Andrés Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation's COSMO is also a water purification system. Intended to serve as a prototype for future interventions, the structure can be disassembled and rebuilt elsewhere. Moreover, the plants used in the filtration system will be distributed to neighbors after Warm Up ends.
