S’Arenal Lighting
*2017 Contest*
S’Arenal, Mallorca
This is a proposal for the ideas competition focused on improving street lighting and street furniture along a 5.4-kilometer stretch of the Playa de Palma waterfront. Designed in collaboration with architect Jonás Jiménez and industrial engineer Salvador Boquera, the project conceives the promenade as a civic, landscape, and energy infrastructure. Placed in front of the existing concrete poles, the new streetlights are designed as contemporary urban installations inspired by the traditional Balearic lateen sail, using durable and recyclable materials. The system aims to achieve energy self-sufficiency through a modulation strategy, using coastal resorts as social hubs capable of capturing solar energy and redistributing it efficiently. A coherent and sustainable solution that reshapes the identity of the coastline through technology and respect for the landscape.
