La forma triangular de la Plaza del Torico de Teruel no es fortuita, su trazado deviene de las pendientes naturales por las que discurre el agua de lluvia. A través del tiempo se generó una morfología transformando terrenos, domesticando pendientes, transcribiendo a otros sistemas los vectores de su organización. Socialmente, la Plaza del Torico es una extensión del tejido urbano, un recinto lúdico y ciudadano. Su doble condición de conector y entorno de reunión requería una respuesta de diseño que la proyectase hacia el futuro, respetando las cualidades espaciales y patrimoniales.

Nuit Blanche 2009, City of Paris

Mirror ball, 1000 mirrors, 7.5 meters in diameter.

The spectacular view of the starry sky has long been a source of delight and curiosity, but the abundance of artificial light in urban areas produces a glow that covers the stars in the firmament. The largest mirror ball ever made was suspended from a construction crane 50 meters above the ground to render the starry sky to the citizens of Paris for one night in the Jardin du Luxembourg during the Nuit Blanche event.
