LAX Gateway Pylon Project – Los Angeles, CA
The by now iconic gateway to Los Angeles, the LAX Gateway Pylon Project by Paul Tzanetopoulos, was the result of an elaborate multidisciplinary team effort overseen by the Los Angeles World Airports representatives. A component of the LAX Enhancement Project, it is the most well-known example of public art in the City of Light, and is visible to airline passengers from 3,000 feet high.

The 1.5-mile lineup of 11 translucent, tempered glass columns increase in height from 25 to 60 feet along Century Boulevard and culminate with a Gateway Circle of 15 100-foot-tall columns at the intersection of Century and Sepulveda Boulevards. The kinetic program of color sequences that illuminates the pylons is lit from dusk to dawn daily.
