"Alter Elios". The 2016 MNPG International Arch Competition for the design of a tech port beacon that infuses architecture, technology, ecology and modern living. Sapphire Coast, Australia. MNPG LTD.

Designed by two architects and ten students, the natural setting is what this is really all about. And then there is a new approach to magnetic levitation light projection from inside the building. A zero cost plan for the transference of the beacon, which acts as the nucleus for further scientific and experimental thought. Inventing not just a new way to perceive energy, but also the display of the possibility of architecture as more than a field of design, but that of an arena that can infuse other disciplines to create the next breakthrough. Il progetto proposto, condotto all’interno della ricerca sviluppata nell’insegnamento di Architettura Tecnica 2 presso il Corso di Laurea in Ingegneria Edile-Architettura dell’Università di Pisa, tenuto dal sottoscritto G. Santi, consiste nella sperimentazione edilizia di un modello di faro sostenibile, sia come impatto ambientale che come consumo delle risorse energetiche, a lievitazione magnetica.
