Flatiron/23 Street Partnership和Van Alen Institute选择《Ziggy》作为第六届Flatiron公共广场假日设计大赛的获奖作品。该项目将于2019年11月15日至2020年1月1日向公众开放。 

《Ziggy》用充满活力的色调和俏皮的姿势来庆祝节日。该项目位于百老汇、第五大道和第二十三街之间，在三角形场地的狭窄边界之间轻轻地弹跳，有效地呼应了城市和建筑文脉，同时建立了广阔的结构足迹。

一系列的开口和门槛构成了Flatiron地区许多景点和地标的景观，同时也欢迎游客，并允许当地人不受阻碍地通过。对于那些寻求片刻休息的人来说，设计强调了几个“通道”，这些通道被倒置成长凳。

细长的线性元素定义了《Ziggy》的多孔结构，重量轻，视觉透明，不透风。当你遇到这件作品时，它的27,000英尺的彩虹线在视觉上汇聚，并通过变化的颜色、图案和光线动态地过滤周围的环境。《Ziggy》是一座千变万化的灯塔，专为纽约人设计。

感谢我们的合作者，Schlaich Bergermann Partner的工程师以及A05工作室，他们制作了钢结构。

The Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership and Van Alen Institute has selected Ziggy as the winning entry for the sixth annual Flatiron Public Plaza Holiday Design Competition. The project will be open to the public from November 15, 2019 to January 1, 2020.

Ziggy celebrates the holiday season with vibrant hues and playful gestures. Located between Broadway, 5th Ave and 23rd Street, the project softly ricochets between the narrow bounds of its triangular site, effectively echoing the urban and architectural context while establishing a broad structural footprint.

A collection of apertures and thresholds frame views of the Flatiron District’s many attractions and landmarks while also welcoming visitors and allowing for a steady stream of locals to pass by unimpeded. For those seeking a moment of respite, the design is accentuated by several “gateways” which have been upended to serve as benches.

The thin linear elements that define Ziggy’s porous composition are lightweight, visually transparent and impervious to wind. As one encounters the piece, its 27,000 feet of iridescent cord visually converges and dynamically filters the surrounding context with shifting colors, patterns and light. Ziggy is a kaleidoscopic beacon, designed for the people of New York.

Thanks to our collaborators, the engineers at Schlaich Bergermann Partner as well as A05 Studio, who fabricated the steel structure.
