PHAROS

Light, Territory, Code:
Unraveling the Mediterranean Signal

Pharos is a project inspired by Mediterranean lighthouses, their architecture and the link between architecture and territory. The lighthouse exists only because the territory is there, and the territory, even if it is the sea, is all it has. These isolated architectures have only one function, that of communicating to the world its name, that is, an unmistakable geographic coordinate.

 

This kind of communication, silent and perceptible through a light signal that repeats without ever stopping (or ceasing), becomes a code and a pattern. The pattern lights up and disappears, recedes and vanishes.

 

This project, which is transversal in nature, currently involves the creation of a series of table lamps and the making of three carpets.
