PF-1

"Dan Wood and Amale Andraos founded WORK Architecture Company in New York in 2003, after meeting at Rem Koolhaas’s Office for Metropolitan Architecture, where both worked for a number of years. Since then, they have operated their practice as a New York–style think tank, designing a headquarters for Diane von Furstenberg, a multi-level apartment for her fellow fashion designer Lela Rose and a new public library for Kew Gardens Hills in Queens; teaching at Princeton; publishing their research on 49 Cities, also a 2009 exhibition at the Storefront for Art and Architecture. Current work also includes the extension of the Clark Art Institute at Mass MoCA and a new Children’s Museum for the Arts. In addition, their entry for the redesign of Hua Qiang Bei Road, Shenzhen, was recently awarded first place in an international competition. 

Since 2003, their research and teaching have focused on paired questions about ecology and urbanism, food and design. They first explored these issues in three dimensions with their winning entry for the MoMA/PS1 Young Architects Program in 2008: PF1, or “Public Farm 1,” a reinvention of the summer pavilion as a working farm made of cardboard tubes. The process of putting that installation together is the subject of the small book Above the Pavement, The Farm! Architecture & Agriculture at PF1, published this year by Princeton Architectural Press. "
