Yue Xu is an urban designer and an artist. Her work centers on design research and representation of urban and architectural issues. With a particular focus on public spaces and urban and environmental problems in urban transformation areas under a more general Anthropocene context, including the Lingnan region of China, Beirut in Lebanon, and Detroit and New York in the United States, Yue’s work seeks to explore the intersection of public art, architecture, and the broader built environment.
JXY Studio, New York, NY, US / Guangzhou, CN, Co-Founder
JXY Studio is an interdisciplinary architecture and art studio co-founded by Yue Xu and Jiaxun Xu. Our work aims to push the boundaries of traditional architectural design and explore innovative approaches to the construction of space and narrative through a broader range of mediums, involving the fields of design, research, and visual arts, incorporating imagery, painting, installation, photography, moving image, and other multimedia forms.
Combined with extensive experience in digital creation, spatial installation, artistic re-conceptualization of space, and innovative urbanism, each project of the studio is grounded in both logical research and inventive practice. Drawing inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Lingnan and the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, we use this unique perspective to fuel the interdisciplinary explorations of architecture and art.
