6:30PM - 7:00PM
From darkness into light, explore how this former postal facility that had been shrouded since WWII now invites the traveling public into its soaring great hall. The transformation represents New York’s most ambitious infrastructure upgrade in decades. This grand civic space and NYC’s new travel destination represents seven years’ effort from lighting designers Domingo Gonzalez Associates, yielding a design that is at once subtle and bold. Ilva Dodaj, the project’s lighting lead designer, will explain the history, art program, challenges, techniques, and coordination required to create a vibrant nighttime experience in the train hall’s public space.
