NEW YORK – Delivering another project boasting strong scenographical qualities, ABRUZZO BODZIAK Architects – a young design studio with offices located just outside of Manhattan – does not seem to have run out of ideas just yet.
Landscape (Triptych), an installation set up in the front window of the Center for Architecture in New York City, stems from the idea of creatively mimicking neon storefront signs which, as evidenced by blaring streets such as LaGuardia Place, are of widespread appeal.
Emily Abruzzo and Gerald Bodziak’s design consists of a bewildering tangle of technical ropes and repurposed electroluminescent wires in tension. At night, the project catches the attention of passers-by as it shapes an alluring light-emitting topography.
Prior to the realisation of the project, the team resorted to a series of models and full-scale mock-ups in order to get accurate insight into the impact of consequential factors, such as the lengths of both the ropes and the wires, the density of rows as well as the location of fixing points upon the final design.
