Summary:
'AV Proyectos 101' dedicates its dossier to MOS, a small New York office self-defined as a studio that benefits and suffers from contradiction, and that creates projects that appear to one thing and something else at the same time - familiar and strange, childish and sophisticated, precise and vague.

Summary:
'AV Proyectos 101' dedicates its dossier to MOS, a small New York office self-defined as a studio that benefits and suffers from contradiction, and that creates projects that appear to one thing and something else at the same time - familiar and strange, childish and sophisticated, precise and vague. The issue includes the competition for Tuchkov Buyan Park, a new urban garden on Vatny Island in Saint Petersburg, with the winning proposal of Studio 44 and West 8 plus the two finalist projects, and six projects that take on the challenge of designing kindergartens.

Summary:
Their work has been described as experimental and innovative, qualities front-and-center in their previous collection Everything All at Once. In just ten years, Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample have established MOS as one of the leading young architecture practices in the country. Selected Works, the first monograph on the built work of the New York–based firm, follows the design studio's evolution from their earliest works to their most celebrated houses and institutional buildings. The thirty-two projects featured range from the sophisticated to the absurd—from the serene Floating House in Ontario, Canada, and the sustainable Kathmandu Orphanage in Nepal to the playful puppet theater at Harvard's Carpenter Center and the appropriately named Rainbow Vomit installation in New York, a digital, interactive, computational heap of building blocks in a constant state of near collapse. The collection also includes a selection of the couple's unorthodox writings, including their satirical "Office Policy" employee manual.

Summary:
"Laboratorio de Vivienda" presents the 32 projects selected and built, including research, drawings, and descriptions by the architects. It considers the problem of low-income housing by bringing thoughtful attention and expertise of architects, considering how these proposals, assembled into a collective, would work together toward creating not an estate but a community for Apan, presenting a model of Housing as a Garden. In 2017, Mexico’s Institute for the National Fund for Workers’ (INFONAVIT) Center for Research for Sustainable Development launched a program to solicit new approaches to affordable housing. To better understand the possibilities, and to better educate developers, workers, and students about the research, INFONAVIT engaged with MOS to develop a master plan for a campus of 32 built prototypes and design an education center to promote awareness and study of workers’ housing typologies.
