New Practices New York Winner Presentation: MODU with estudio Herreros

Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem, co-directors of MODU, will present their work investigating architecture’s relationship with weather. The work proposes a significant shift in traditional modes of environmental thinking: architecture, as a conceptual and cultural practice, should be informed by and adaptable to weather.

Juan Herreros, Principal of estudio Herreros, will provide a response to their work while also discussing his practice’s approach to the environment.

Speakers:
Phu Hoang, Director, MODU
Rachely Rotem, Director, MODU
Juan Herreros, Founder and Partner, estudio Herreros

MODU is an interdisciplinary architecture practice specializing in smart design that connects people to their environments. Based in New York City with an associate office in London, MODU has completed projects in New York, Miami, Beijing, London, and Sydney. Co-directed by Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem, the practice’s client list represents a diverse group of organizations and individuals that include Design Museum Holon, Creative Time, Art Basel Miami Beach and numerous private clients. MODU has won international design competitions and awards sponsored by the Architectural League of New York, American Institute of Architects, Core77 and the Netherlands Architecture Institute. The practice was recently awarded a commendation for “21 for 21,” an international award that recognizes architects who will “lead the next generation of architects in the 21st century.” The practice’s interdisciplinary, multi-scalar approach has led to projects that bridge several disciplines of the built environment, from architecture to urbanism to interiors.
