New York City’s dazzling “Field of Light” exhibition at Freedom Plaza, made possible by the Soloviev Foundation and designed by world-renowned British artist Bruce Munro, has captivated visitors and residents within a carefully crafted path of illumination.
Experts from WSP helped light the way for the Field of Light at Freedom Plaza, which opened to the public free of charge this past winter. The installation spans across six acres of Manhattan’s Freedom Plaza and features more than 18,000 lowlight, LED/fiber-optic stemmed spheres. The exhibit, which will be open for one year, is located between East 38th Street and East 41st Street, and First Avenue and the FDR Drive.
These spheres illuminate with a subtle change in hue as guests walk the exhibit’s winding path and are immersed in not only the lighting’s landscape of colors, but also the sights of New York’s iconic skyline and the East River waterfront.
