Open House New York: Enrique Garcia Carrera led a tour of his award winning lighting of Staten Island’s September 11th Memorial “Postcards”

Open House New York: Enrique Garcia Carrera, as Associate Principal with FMS, led a tour of his Lumen-award winning lighting of Staten Island’s September 11th Memorial “Postcards,” as part of OHNY at Night.

I AM OHNY is a campaign we began in late 2011 to highlight and celebrate Open House New York’s diverse community of supporters. We’re kicking off this year’s campaign with Enrique García Carrera, an Associate Principal with Flatiron District-based lighting design firm Fisher Marantz Stone. “I grew up in Mexico City,” Enrique explains, “so I was already predisposed to love the chaos of New York. I was fascinated by the city from the first time I visited when I was seven years old.”

Enrique first got involved with OHNY through FMS’s participation in OHNY Weekend several years ago, and this year led a tour of his Lumen-award winning lighting of Staten Island’s September 11th Memorial “Postcards,” as part of OHNY at Night. Thanks to Enrique for serving as an OHNY Weekend Tour Sponsor and helping New Yorkers to better understand how lighting designers shape the way that the city is experienced after dark!
