nErD aLeRt!

remember polshek partnership (or whatever)? well, they're called ennead now, and they just completed a renovation of mckim, mead, and white's great hall at the brooklyn museum. this weekend, an installation by situ studio opens in the new space.

Situ Studio, a Brooklyn-based creative practice specialising in design and fabric, has created a site-specific installation to fill the classically ordered Hall of the Americas of the Brooklyn Museum.

Opening tomorrow, reOrder: an Architectural Environment is the first installation to appear in the impressive 10,000 square-foot, double-height space of the colonnaded hall, newly renovated by Ennead Architects.

Each of the hall’s 16 traditional columns has been transformed and distorted by canopies made from Sunbrella fabric. The fabric – all 2,200 yards of it – has been stretched over steel tubing and plywood rings of varying sizes, and suspended from the columns, giving each one a new unique look. (via)

looks kewl!

here's a time lapse fly-through (huh?) of the installation process :
