ReOrder at the Brooklyn Museum by Situ Studio
August 22nd, 2011 Yanda
Billowing fabric mushrooms by New York designers Situ Studio have cropped up in the great hall of the Brooklyn Museum. Pleated fabric surrounds the 16 columns that support the ceiling of the first-floor hall, located between galleries, a cafe and a bookshop.
“reOrder” is a site-specific installation created by Situ Studio, an architectural design studio founded in 2005 in Brooklyn, New York. The installation alters the current classical architecture to help visitors understand the impressive scale of the main entrance, as well as explore the architectural ornamentation that allows the Grand Hall to not only be artfully decorated, but also functional.
