91Ʋ Led St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Tour
Join our team for a tour of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in New York City, presented by Designers Lighting Forum of New York, commonly referred to as DLFNY. Principal and 91Ʋ New York Studio Leader, Tom Gallagher, AIA will lead the tour, offering insights into the Church’s lighting design and reconstruction.
Conceived by Santiago Calatrava with the symbolic use of light, the church’s lighting, designed and implemented by our team, reinforces the spirit of rebirth and continuity for the Church and the city. Our lighting design carefully balances the use of both daylight and electric light internally and externally. It transforms what appears as a solid stone church by day into a luminous beacon of light and hope at night, thus achieving the Archbishop’s goal that the church appears “to be lit from 10,000 candles”.
The tour will be held on Tuesday, November 12 beginning at 5:00 PM. It will conclude with a presentation and social gathering at Monk McGinns.
