ithaca based firm CODA , winner of the MoMA PS1 2013 young architects program, has debuted ‘party wall’ in the courtyard of the museum space. the informal art space underwrites and is host to large-scale architectural installations every summer with stipulation that the design is vibrant, interactive with the public and environmentally mindful. the temporary urban landscape is made up of reclaimed wood donated by comet, a local manufacturer of eco-friendly skateboards. the unusual patterns of discarded boards provide a dynamic shading skin and create a series of small stages for performances.
