For their MOMA PS1 Young Architect's Prize-winning design, titled Afterparty, MOS designed these thatch-covered thermal chimneys. The tower-like structures draw warm air upwards, cooling the spaces below to keep visitors comfortable.

To further cool the pavilion, mist was sprayed on the thatch: the water droplets would absorb the surrounding heat and evaporate, taking the heat with them. Photo 2 of 6 in From Floating Homes to Prefab Moss-Covered Theaters, This Firm's Monograph Has It All by Zach Edelson
