Details. Cosmo 2015 MoMA PS1by Andrés Jaque.

Featuring a network of customized irrigation components based on advanced environmental design, COSMO is able to filter 3,000 gallons of water without the use of electricity. The structure will serve as a kind of "garden"--a pleasant and climatically comfortable space for leisure--during this year's Warm Up series at MoMA PS1.
