Cincinnati

Employer: Paramedia

Cincinnati is the most recent iteration of several Paramedia LFM projects located throughout the country. For this project, I implemented specific changes to how the fixtures are suspended and how the lights had to be wired. This six story tall sculpture was located in a new construction building. I led the installation around other trades and other parallel projects. The mounting design and the electrical system had to be designed to fit the specifications of Underwriters Laboratories (UL). As the lead designer I met these requirements and received certification upon completion of installation.

The unique location of this iteration of the Artist's piece required a new way to mount the fixtures in the most unoffending and slim method possible.
