For the façade of AQWA Corporate, in the heart of Boulevard Olímpico, we developed a concept that turned the building into a portal, capturing the energy of one of the country’s largest urban interventions and giving vitality back to inspire the region. In partnership with scenic lighting specialist José Joels, we mobilized the entire team to turn the vision into reality in record time, putting into practice a methodology built through internal process.
The result exceeded every expectation: the installation ran three months longer than planned and was even chosen as Tishman Speyer’s Christmas message. A project that shows how lighting can transcend a building and become part of a city’s urban experience.
