YAP MAXXI 2016
22 June 2016 - 23 October 2016

This summer sees the return of YAP – Young Architects Program, that promotes and supports young architecture, now in its sixth Italian edition and organized by MAXXI in collaboration with MoMA/MoMA PS1 of New York, Constructo of Santiago de Chile, Istanbul Modern (Turkey) and MMCA, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul (Korea).

The winner this year is the installation MAXXI Temporary School: The museum is a school. A school is a Battleground by the Milan studio Parasite 2.0: three sets that reproduce with elements in wood, rubber and metal, animal shapes and fragments of nature.

Fantastical settings, references from diverse cultures, fragments of nature and pop-up details providing backdrops for visitors’ selfies: interaction with the public is fundamental to this year’s project. All the structures have green as their dominant colour, which is read as a green screen by a special web application created for the project: yap2016.fondazionemaxxi.it
