Valentine to Times Square.

Gage/Clemenceau Architects

A temporary 10-foot-tall heart-shaped sculpture of stainless steel, LED lights, and Corian will be on display at Father Duffy Square for Valentine’s Day. The Times Square Alliance commissioned Gage/Clemenceau Architects to create a new work of art that celebrates the uniqueness of the square. The production of the sculpture involved the collaboration between a hot-rod car design company, several robotic metal-cutting robots, an Ivy League University, a concert lighting expert, a graphic designer, a copywriter, a sculptor, and over 350 square feet of a material typically used for kitchen countertops.
