Leo Villareal’s monumental light sculpture at the crown of the Foster & Partners-designed 270 Park building for JP Morgan Chase in New York City transforms the building into a unified light sculpture, featuring subtly shifting, ever-changing, monochromatic illumination. Dynamic waves of light shift in bold gestures and produce a gentle yet sublime effect that evoke motion and breath, emphasizing the materiality of the facade, and create a point of recognition within the city’s skyline.
