Architect David Rockwell's "Luminaries" Aims To Create A New Holiday Tradition
The installation comprises 650 translucent LED lanterns and a series of touch-sensitive "wishing stations" throughout NYC's Brookfield Place.
This last Tuesday, New York City's Brookfield Place—known as the World Financial Center before its recent $250 million renovation—lit up with 650 floating LED lanterns. The Rockwell Group-designed Luminaries installation is the Battery Park's answer to Rockefeller Center's monumental tree and aims to create a holiday lighting tradition for the city's downtown area.
