LaGuardia Airport Terminal B

Water Feature

TermainlBWaterFeaturesChryslerBldg.JPG

The Terminal B Water Feature is a one-of-a-kind installation in the Americas and the only of its kind globally in an airport.

The feature circulates 4,000 gallons of water, cascading from two rings to form a mesmerizing water curtain. 450 nozzles control the water flow to shape intricate patterns as it falls.

Three projectors wrap the water in dynamic content, with video, lighting, and audio synchronized to deliver unique, captivating shows for travelers throughout the day.

 
The Terminal B Water Feature is the only one of its kind in the Americas and the only one of its kind found globally in an airport. 4,000 gallons of recirculated water run through the system and fall from two rings to create a water curtain. 450 nozzles individually open and close to create shapes falling from the water. Three projectors are used to wrap light around the water. Video content, lights, and audio are played back in sync to create unique shows for travelers played throughout the day.

Our Process

From Strasbourg, France to New York City

Evoke supported the project from concept to completion over a three-year period, including two trips to Strasbourg, France, to test full-scale mock-ups before installing the water feature at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport.

We developed 14 fully designed shows, incorporating custom-rendered and projection-mapped video content, along with a video system to technically support these dynamic presentations.
