Through February 28th, Times Square Arts will present Love’s h|Edge, the 15th winner of their annual Love & Design Competition. This competition celebrates the work of architecture and design firms addressing themes of love in their work. Love’s h|Edge was created by Brooklyn-based design practice Almost Studio and features four heart-shaped hedges configured to encourage discovery and reflection as visitors walk through its hidden pathways, rose-filled trellises, and heart-shaped interior spaces dubbed “Pitter-Patios.” The installation also features a recorded soundscape which creates an immersive sensory experience.

At 1 pm every day, Times Square Arts and Almost Studio will stage a free dedication of freshly cut roses and invite visitors to fill the installation’s trellises with their flowers. By the end of the month, the hedges will be fully covered in bloom. Love’s h|Edge can be found in Duffy Square at Broadway and 46th Street until February 28th.
