The Brooklyn navy-yard has a long history, from those days when it was a base for the production of warships, all the way to today, when is a HUB for designer, artists and engineers. The yard has gone through extreme use changes, however its infrastructure has changed close to nothing in the past decades. The BNY Mediatheque is a long-span bridge which holds all kinds of media and digital expression spaces, while also creating a more direct connection in between Williamsburg and DUMBO, and its aggressive concept, cutting through the yard itself and re-generating spaces and water routing for the ferry.
