Artist Leo Villareal and the London-based architecture firm Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands are working together to design and install the first phase of The Illuminated River Foundation's public art commission that will illuminate architectural elements of the existing bridges, redefining the riverscape.This installation marks the initial stage of the project that was announced nearly two years ago. All stages are intended to be completed by 2022. In its entirety, it will include 15 central London bridges - creating a unified artwork connected across the flowing river from Albert Bridge in West London to Tower Bridge in the center of the city. Their scheme is beautiful, ambitious and realizable but always considerate to the environment, lighting levels and energy conservation. The jury is convinced that the winning team will transform the center of London while remaining true to the spirit and integrity of the Thames and its communities. - Hannah Rothchild, Chair of the Illuminated River Foundation.
