KILROY STARS
Kilroy Realty commissioned Engineered Artworks in collaboration with Zoetic Digital to create and install a series of beacon-like monumental light sculptures that illuminate the sky and unite the cities of Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego throughout the winter months. ​Each star spans 20 feet in diameter and contains over 30,000 individually programmable LED lights that illuminate and oscillate in rhythmic patterns visible from miles away.Â
Building these 12-sided beauties necessitated the innovation of custom support tripods and inner steel cores, but the project’s true challenge was installing and attaching the sculptures to four unique buildings using a combination of mechanical maneuvering and individualized structural solutions.Â
The Kilroy Stars were created and installed in partnership with lighting designer JoeJoe Martin and structural engineers wmstructural and Rbhu.
