Through September 2003, a canopy designed by Tom Wiscobe / EMERGENT was on view at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in Long Island, Queens, New York. P.S.1 sponsors an annual Young Architects Program, a competition for a courtyard canopy for their museum with a total budget of $60,000 USD. This year's Young Architects Program consisted of candidates (nominated by a group of experts, curators and editors), which are then reduced to a pool of five from where a winner is chosen.

This year's winner is Tom Wiscombe / EMERGENT. Tom Wiscombe is based in California and went to school at UCLA and UC Berkeley (and now teaches at Sci-Arc), he both works at Coop Himmelb(l)au and is the founder of EMERGENT, a firm with offices in Los Angeles and Vienna. As always, P.S.1 uses the canopy as a site for Warm Up (on Saturdays afternoons), an annual music festival featuring DJs, liquor, beach chairs and loud music under whatever canopy got built that year.

Previous winners of the Young Architects Program are:

1998 - Gelatin
1999 - Philip Johnson (ok, obviously not young, but it was a whole MoMA tie in thing)
2000 - SHoP / Sharpen Holden Pasquarelli
2001 - ROY
2002 - William E. Massie
