Description

Five motion sensors track visitors moving through the lobby; the digital display becomes more colorful and active as more people occupy the space, with a backdrop of vertical bands echoing the tower's exterior metal patterns. The installation won a 2020 SCN "Installs of the Year" honor and a Good Design Award in the Installation category.
