ELEMENT HOUSE-architecture for a new ecology
MUSEUM OF OUTDOOR ARTS
PREMIERES
ELEMENT HOUSE-architecture for a new ecology
On April 10th, the Museum of Outdoor Arts will open “ELEMENT HOUSE-architecture for a new ecology” an architectural exhibition showcasing the revolutionary design of a multi-component, modular green home prototype designed by the visionary team at MOS Architects. Led by Principals Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, MOS has an extensive international portfolio including institutional buildings, urban strategies, research, books, installations including MoMa’s PS1, and other projects such as inflatable housing, that are less easily categorized. The drawings and models designed for the Museum of Outdoor Arts are futuristic homes referred to as “Element House 1” and “Element House 2”. The exhibition will travel to Harvard and Yale Universities in early 2011.
A panel discussion with Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample (professors at Harvard and Yale respectively and have been featured in Dwell magazine with their "Floating House") begins at 4:30 p.m. and will discuss their work with MoMA and PS1, the Element House project, green building initiatives and answer questions from the audience on additional subject. A reception for the exhibition will begin at 5 p.m. and continues through 9 p.m.

The modular homes will be “off the grid”, or capable of operating independent of all traditional public utility services, and will be designed for pre-fabrication, utilizing strict LEED™ design criteria and limited to 1500 SF or less. The “Element House” is derived from the Fibonacci sequence, which in itself is a describer of developmental patterns in living organisms. This mathematical series was applied in order to explore the idea of recombinatory growth in building forms and the economics of spatial compartmentalization.
ELEMENT HOUSE- architecture for a new ecology runs April 10th, 2010 – August 14, 2010 at the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ headquarters and indoor gallery on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway (at Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive). The Museum is directly accessible from the Englewood light rail station. The museum is free to the public. Hours: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday -Thursday, and 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Friday. Information at 303-806-0444 or www.moaonline.org.
The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the visual and performing arts accessible to everyone. Commonly referred to as “a museum without walls,” MOA enhances public spaces by displaying art objects in the Denver metro area at Greenwood Plaza and City Center Englewood. The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) receives partial funding from the City of Englewood and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District—Arapahoe County as well as the Colorado Council on the Arts. The Museum owns and operates Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre and is home to classrooms, art studios, and indoor galleries at its main headquarters on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway (at Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive).
