Brooklyn Museum of Art and Design (BMAD)

The mission of BMAD is to cultivate and enhance the visitor’s perception and understanding of art, design and craft. By inserting linear wood transitional structures between the existing building structures and new perforated metal boxes I have defined three categories of space: “old”, “new”, and “transitional”. Based on the different classifications of art, design, and craft, and the sometimes blurred boundaries between them, I have proposed three typologies of spatial combinations to house them: detached (inside and outside), adjacent (in and between) and time share.

Xingying Du, a MFA candidate for interior design in Pratt Institute, has studied interior design since 2015. She is a multidisciplinary designer with a strong passion for various design fields. Her strength is blending multiple disciplines with professional skill to create each project a unique perspective.
