# Furry Event Venues Afterparty Creates a Bizarrely Furry Pavillion By Christina Butty | Published 2009-07-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/event-venues-afterparty-new-york References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2009/07/24/afterparty-by-mos-2/) & [ps1.org](http://www.ps1.org/) Called 'Afterparty', this furry looking pavilion was the winning entry of the 2009 [MoMA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-garden-of-decreation)/P.S.1 Young Architects Program competition. Located in New York outside of the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Centre, Afterparty is covered in an Indonesian thatched palm-fibre. Afterparty is slated to be used as an [event venue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-goes-around-bandstand) this summer. It includes a bar area, seating and water. It's always fun when cities put up these [creative buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion). I wonder what the locals think? **Implications** - In today's modern world, more and more consumers are living metropolitan lifestyles. Businesses that offer unusual products or experiences to be encountered by city-dwellers will appeal to a wide range of consumers. Consumers will likely invest in those products that offer them something that typically isn't associated with an urban or city setting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Unusual Urban Experiences:** Creating unusual products or experiences for city-dwellers will attract a diverse range of consumers. - **Furry-themed Event Venues:** Furry-themed venues provide a unique and engaging space for hosting events. - **Innovative Architectural Designs:** Designing creative and eye-catching buildings can enhance the appeal of public spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality and Event Management:** Providing event venues with unique themes and designs can create memorable experiences for attendees. - **Architecture and Design:** There is a growing demand for innovative architectural designs that transform public spaces into interactive and visually captivating environments. - **Consumer Products and Experiences:** Manufacturers and retailers can tap into the demand for unusual and unexpected products and experiences in urban settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Doghouse Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-for-dogs-exhibition.md) - [A-Frame Timber Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dalston-pavilion.md) - [Roman Architecture-Themed Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forum-des-vestiges.md) - [Curvaceous Artful Play Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-pavilion.md) - [Fraying Dynamic Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-house.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Everyday Material Colorful Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-pavilions.md) - [Tent-Like Exhibition Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolack-pavilion.md) - [Pointy Paper Lantern Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-lantern-pavilion.md)
