location Teruel
function square
contributed by b720_Arquitectos

The project is based on developing a system of large, cobbled paving which has a pattern of luminescent lines embedded in it. This creates a faint atmosphere, without lighting the area too much. The light, understood as a fluid element, extends across the square and finds points of inflection in the Torico's fountain (which these lighting lines surround), the Fondero and Somero cisterns, and the Arca Secreta (sites where the vectorial density is reduced to a half, to enhance their archaeological value). The square is arranged longitudinally through lines of accentuated perspective, built with linear lighting systems in the porches and gables. Two installation trenches on the outer surfaces of the gates eliminate the service facilities and aerial cables attached on the walls. The lighting project is completed with the installation of lights hidden inside the Torico's fountain, carrying out the existing light displacement, more vertical to the horizontal plane.
