The New York architecture office MOS, founded by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, is one of the few in the United States that manages to build quality work from their almost artisanal office structure, preferring to be ‘horizontal and fuzzy, as opposed to tall and shiny.’ This 2G issue includes their last works of the office together with two texts by the architect and critic Stan Allen and by Giovanna Borasi, director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal.

> MOS is a Harlem, New York-based architecture studio founded by principals Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith in 2005. Working across North America, Europe, and Asia, their architecture and design projects include private residences, multi-family housing to master planning, educational institutions, collaborative art installations, exhibition design, gallery spaces, cultural buildings, interactive work spaces, co-working spaces and furniture.
