The sculpture \u201cLight and Sun\u201d, designed by FERRER ARQUITECTOS, is located in the Careaga square of Almer\u00eda. The idea arises from the abstraction of two concepts easily identifiable in the city of Almer\u00eda: Light and Sun.
\n The formalization of it is based on the geometric figure of the sphere, as a metaphor for the Sun. Thus, the sphere appears as a luminous object that reflects sunlight during the day and radiates light from its interior during the night.
\n The sculpture is made of 8 mm sheet metal. of matte stainless steel, a shiny and highly durable material that generates sparkles. The words Luz and Sol have been milled on the surface of the sphere in 5 languages: Spanish, English, Italian, French and German, the five most spoken languages in the European Union. Inside the sphere there is a lighting lamp composed of three low-consumption LED arms, which generate halos of light when passing through the milled letters that make up the surface of the sphere.
\n In short, a sculpture that transmits the most representative values \u200b\u200bof Almer\u00eda and that, given its location in the historic center of the city, contributes to its revitalization by constituting a greater tourist attraction due to its uniqueness and design. <\/p>\n
