New Lights on Paris
“Anyone who looks into the depths of Paris is dizzy. Nothing more fantastic, nothing more tragic, nothing more superb. "
Victor Hugo
From a creation by #alessandrogiust, #Terenzi Srl creates Skylight which, starting from a calamine steel plate, obtains the shape of Paris, making it easy to recognize what accompanies our city view.
With technological and millimeter precision it is possible to realize ideas starting from a calamine steel plate, obtaining the shape of Paris through laser cutting and folding and proposing the Skyline of the historic city illuminated by street lamps that highlight its profile through two LEDs.
The #led #light is powered via the USB input; for the silhouette of a city like Paris, the lighting symbolizes the romanticism of a Belle Époque climate, but also the "Age of Enlightenment" which, inspired by France, gave way to "modern" thinking; the two lampposts placed at the ends of the Silhouette, a feature common to all Skylights, remind us that the French capital has been equipped with this lighting system since June 1825 ... the characteristic of Skylight Paris is to bring together different phases of the history of France and world in a prêt-à-porter shape that is a historical sequence which includes dissimilar ways of understanding elegance, architecture, urbanism itself.
Paris is a city that has gone through different eras and which has been crossed by different eras; it has not just one character but many, because it represented power in the political sphere, but it was also a cultural capital for centuries and remains, in the contemporary age, an archetype of sentimental splendor and a certain romanticism. Great personalities have inhabited and represented it, from Louis XIV to Napoleon Bonaparte, up to Charles De Gaulle. For this reason, Skylight also follows a growing process that is transversal, has different styles and different times, mixes together testimonies of past greatness, keeping close to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of the mythical Montmartre district, bohemian hub in the Belle Époque, and Notre Dame the European Gothic cathedral par #excellence immortalized by Victor Hugo in the novel of the same name; to "disconnect" there is a "contemporary" interlude, with the Montparnasse Tower which has become a symbol of the neighborhood, a tower that offers an enviable view from above and boasts one of the fastest elevators in Europe; therefore two works that refer to Egypt, the obélisque de Louxor given by Ali Pasha to Louis Philippe of Orleans and the Pyramide completed in 1989 in front of the Louvre, commissioned by Mitterand, testify to the internationalism of Paris, to its universalistic vocation; the Eiffel Tower built in wrought iron for the Paris Expo of 1889, now the best known contemporary building; the Arc de Triomphe built by Napoleon after Austerlitz (a watershed battle in European history) which is inspired by the Roman ones; the Skylight closes with a contemporary Paris, with the tall towers of the La Défense district: the Tours Société Générale, conceived in the late 1990s to house large banking groups, and the Tour First skyscraper.
