PARALLEL LIGHT FIELDS NEARING COMPLETION

James Carpenter Design Associates’ “Parallel Light Fields”, can be seen on KTVU.  Parallel Light Fields consists of an overhead field of prismatic light fins interacting with translucent pavers and a series of illuminated benches set into a ground plane of concrete pavers. This luminous environment creates a unique spatial and perceptual experience for pedestrians in Shaw Alley.

The sculptural elements interact with the constantly changing characteristics of ambient light and create a heightened awareness of both the built and natural environments. This integrated sculpture creates a landscape of light linking the Transit Center to the City.
