NYC Vietnam Veterans Memorial
New York, NY | PKSB Architects
The new lighting scheme for the 1986 Vietnam Veterans Memorial in New York City utilizes an array of customized LED panels that evenly backlight the entire glass block structure. The LED panels are aimed outward towards the plaza, focusing the light to feature the engraved text and reducing wasted light. Precise color temperature settings and more advanced dimming controls further enhance the nighttime rendering of this important memorial.
