Maritime station Syracuse

The maritime station is designed as an object on the dock that juts out into the sea and the gulf. A station that needs light to give the impression of an object just landed and suspended on a partly natural and partly artificial. Takes into account the relationship with the place as a landscape and as a view rather than bind to a traditional urban system which is isolated. Emits light to be easily identified by ships and passengers from reaching the port. Reiterates its position to object that belongs to the sea and its shape is derived from the composition of objects that belong to the sea, and the same has to deal with ships arriving in port.
