Almost Studio, the Brooklyn-based design practice which includes Weitzman Faculty members, Anthony Gagliardi and Dorian Booth, as part of its team, has produced the winning entry, Love's h|Edge, for Times Square Arts' Love & Design competition.
Love's h|Edge proposes a playful family of four heart-shaped hedge rows that invite visitors on their own journeys of love and discovery. Within the garden, three "Heart Pitter-Patios" of differing shapes and sizes represent a rewriting of the "Code of Love." Generated from ADA building code dimensions, the spaces are fundamentally inclusive, and assert the breadth and possibilities of an expansive compassion for one another - one without edges.
This public artwork will be on display in Times Square through the month of February 2023, when visitors will be welcomed to "Fill-up the Heart" by adding artificial roses to the mesh seating and trellis of the "Pitter-Patios."
