This project reinterprets Le Corbusier’s Tower of Shadows through a solar design overwriting. Photovoltaic coatings applied to the brise-soleil activate the concrete surfaces, while a kinetic solar sculpture — conceived as a contemporary gnomon — generates energy and movement. The intervention transforms shadow into an active architectural agent, testing solarity as spatial language rather than technological add-on.

Abstract
This project reinterprets Le Corbusier’s Tower of Shadows through a solar design overwriting. Photovoltaic coatings applied to the brise-soleil activate the concrete surfaces, while a kinetic solar sculpture — conceived as a contemporary gnomon — generates energy and movement. The intervention transforms shadow into an active architectural agent, testing solarity as spatial language rather than technological add-on.File in questo prodotto:
