Flatiron Skyline is a project by LOT selected for the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership’s 2016 Holiday Installation through a design competition organized by Van Alen Institute.
Flatiron Skyline is a landmark spatial installation engaging passersby in an intimate interaction within and around it. Tubular arched components, define an outlined trapezoidal galleria at the footsteps of Flat Iron building. Each of the arches is lit along its whole length, a smoothly transitioning lighting effect from daytime to nighttime transforming the look and experience of the installation while making it highly visible from a distance and from above. White net hammocks hanging from each of the arches invite the public to embrace the Flat Iron Plaza skyline and immerse into the constructed tranquility of the Flat Iron Plaza - skyline gazing, socializing, contemplating, and experiencing the surroundings.
