Overview
Light Gate focuses the view through an opening down 14th Street to the Pacific Ocean. The sun sets perfectly through it’s opening twice per year: January 27th and November 14th.
Goals
It is a place of constantly shifting light and view, more than a solid object.
Process
It puts the visitor in the center of this important nexus. As you move around the sculpture, it shifts unexpectedly from transparency, to prismatic refraction, to mirror reflection. The glass and steel construction playing with the sunlight harmonize with the crystalline glass architecture of the new Library.
