Heartwalk by Situ Studio – Over the last five years, the Times Square Alliance has invited architecture and design firms to submit proposals for a romantic public art installation celebrating Valentine’s Day in Times Square. This year’s winning design, Situ Studio’s Heartwalk, will be unveiled on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, and will be kept for viewing until March 10, 2013.

Situ Studio took inspiration from the collective experience of Hurricane Sandy and the love that binds New York City together.

Using materials salvaged from Sandy’s aftermath, Heartwalk begins as two ribbons of wooden planks that fluidly lift from the ground to form a heart shaped enclosure in the middle of Duffy Square. The slatted construction, illuminated from within, provides varied views of the interior as visitors move around the perimeter of the installation. Visitors can enter the installation itself and literally stand in the heart of the world’s greatest city.

Official media partners for Valentine’s Day in Times Square include IN New York and Where, and Fresh 102.7 FM.
