These wind vanes within the public plaza at 888 Boylston in Boston are sculpted to rotate in the wind, work together with the LED lights to transform the plaza into a living wind map.  Visitors interact with this colorful wind diagram and track the velocity of the wind through the beacons of light.  The light shafts project upward to illuminate the wind vane’s mirror-finish base that caps each light column and projects a play of light on the ground plane. Each of the 44 light columns are custom fabricated using a single metal strand that wraps around structural rods to create a delicate spiral translucent screen that is densely wound at the base and gradually opens towards the sky. These reflective lighting poles also assist in wayfinding, ensure 24-hour lighting to the highly trafficked entrance, and offer unique placemaking potential by engaging visitors with their color, movement, and local weather information.
