Tom Wiscombe's Light-Wing for New York's P.S. 1 Center for Contemporary Art is as forward looking in the way it was built as it is in its form.
"Tom Wiscombe was born to build...His enthusiasm for the craft of architecture is everywhere apparent in Light-Wing, the temporary pavilion that Emergent--Wiscombe's Los Angeles-based firm--designed and built in the courtyard of the P.S. 1 Center for Contemporary Art in Queens, New York. Hovering over the courtyard like an enormous aluminum dragonfly, Light-Wing provides shade, places to sit, and cooling pools of water for the throngs of music and art enthusiasts."
