| Technically the project is composed by two metallic structures that are attached to the original concrete pillars without compromising their original continuity. By using steel rings around the pillars the weight of the new structure gets distributed uniformly. The rhomboidal solar panels of 10m2 each are encased in an aluminum alloy extrusion that interacts between them generating a self-porting stereo-structure reducing the weight of the whole system. Under several randomly selected solar panels are placed O-LED lighting panels in the same shape giving a distributed lighting with an extreme low cost per watt overall. The lower structure which has the function of a pedestrian scenic view is settled in its own set of steel rings around each pillar, but also an array of cables from the upper set gives the necessary aid. The trees are planted in an inverted pyramidal structure with an epoxy finish. The pyramid is truncated in its lower tip so the excess of water could escape freely. |
