LO : My Inspiration

BIG?NYC is an installation by Danish architecture firm BIG (Bjarke Ingles Group). This project was a collaboration among several companies BIG, Times Square Alliance, Flatcut, Local Projects and Zumtobel. This installation with partially sandblasted acrylic tubes is illuminated with environmentally friendly LED lights. The piece aims to bring together people since when more people touch the sensor more energy is collected and converted into light, perfectly embodying the concept, “more people = more love”. Along with this the elasticity of the tubes makes them wiggle in the wind causing the heart to pulsate along with life in the city.

I admire how projects by BIG are rooted in a deep sense of connection with the environment around and how they foster community and inclusivity through their designs. This is a perfect example of multi disciplinary work as people from various backgrounds have had to come together to make this project successful.
