Article source: Marcio Rodrigues The project was develloped to a student competition promoted by chalmers, to desing a “naturum”, a nature museum, deeply connected with the river of goteborg. TWO MAIN INTENTIONS: beacon/lighthouse_ light possibilities of the materials. The polycarbonate panels blends with the colours of the site and with the light. it’s a neutral material which gives and industrial sense to this architecture. during the day, a silent intervention, during the night a light reference for the river and to the city skyline.  Urban Lighthouse
 Urban Lighthouse functionality_(solving the problems) main attention to the ground floor which reorganizes the bicycle /pedestrian logic (parking and walkways) and the ferry tram station. Taking advantage of the 24/7 lounge and the more public programs (cafeteria and toilets) the buildings establishes a relation with the previous communications, instead of ignoring them. In the upper floors (mainly the exhibition) the logic is to privilege the silence and see the diffuse landscape through the polycarbonate walls.
