Times Square Arts has announced the winner of their 14th annual Love in Times Square Design Competition, an installation titled Bloom by architecture and urban design studio Habitat Workshop headed by architect Jieun Yang. Fabricated by NYC event production company IDEKO, Bloom is a dynamic sculpture composed of interlocked red and white PVC-piping which forms a vaulted canopy. From below, looking up through the vertically-arranged pipe segments, the structure offers a pixelated view of the lights of Times Square. Visitors are encouraged to move within and around the piece, which “recognizes human fragility and strength,” explains Yang in a statement. “Bloom is an offering of hope and a reminder that we must find vivacity amid the darkness.”
