Client: Long Beach Transit, Long Beach, California
Lightbridge materials include painted steel, painted aluminum, laminated
glass, digital controllers, RGB LEDs and lasers. The project consists of
six vertical pylons measuring 2’- 3” (W) X 4’- 6” (D) X 34’- 0” (H). The con-
cept for Long Beach Transit makes a statement about a visible place---a
transit node---at a key intersection in downtown Long Beach to indicate
where a confluence of transit modalities come together: train, cab, city bus,
car (parking) and tour bus. In addition, the project's program requires a
symbolic gateway into Long Beach’s commercial district from the Embarc-
adero and the Convention Center. A laserlight ‘bridge’ forms a lighted
ceiling for the sculpture as it completes the color-light image of the digit-
ally programmed LED light sculpture.
