Drive-In architects MOS selected for MoMA design program “Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream”

29 Apr 2011

We are thrilled to share MOS’s latest accomplishment –- Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample (MOS) will be one of five teams of architects working on MoMA’s 14 month program to rethink housing in American cities and suburbs in light of the foreclosure crisis. Completed proposals will be exhibited at MoMA from Jan. 31 through July 31, 2012. MOS has been working with Ballroom Marfa for over the past four years to design the Ballroom Marfa Drive-In, and Michael Meredith of MOS was a Chinati Artist-in-Residence in 2000.

Each MoMA design team will focus on a “megaregion,” a metropolitan area that lies within a corridor between two major cities. MOS will focus on the Oranges in New Jersey.
