Just in time for New York’s first real heatwave of the season, a new installation by 2019 Young Architects Program (YAP) winners Pedro & Juana has opened, setting the stage for MoMA PS1’s annual Warm Up summer concert series. Hórama Rama—a 40-foot-high, 90-foot-wide cyclorama—brings seating, shade, and even a waterfall to the museum’s courtyards in Long Island City, Queens.
Ana Paula Ruiz Galindo and Mecky Ruess, who are a couple, founded Pedro & Juana in Mexico City in 2011.
