41st Annual Awards for Excellence: FLEXUS by Grimanesa Amoros
FLEXUS, by Grimanesa Amoros, was designed for the Harper’s Street Asphalt plant to illuminate the area and its surrounding community, embracing its light on all New Yorkers and its welcomed visitors. Soon, the captivating lighting sculpture will glow brightly upon Harper’s Street.
Public Design Commission President Deborah Marton said, “Today’s projects demonstrate commitment to ensuring public buildings and civic spaces welcome and serve every New Yorker!”
