LIGHTHOUSE IN RIO DE JANEIRO | Francesc Romaní

Rio is a world treasure, and the new lighthouse would be a jewel floating in the sky illuminated by the night of the Bay Rio. A base acts as a reception hall, a brutal vertical concrete wall connects visitors to the summit ... and elevators like bodies illuminated ascend to the paradise of Rio de Janeiro. To the Lighthouse, 100 feet high, can be accessed by sea and by air, by sea can be reached at, or up the stairs located on the slope in front of the base of the lighthouse. The aim of the project is to locate a gemstone illuminated in the night sky of Rio. Therefore the proportions of the glass piece are extreme to cause a visual contrast. It is for this reason that the concrete wall that communicates with the base toward the lighthouse, is virtually invisible at night, only stained by the subtle movement of the light of lifts rising to the top platform.
