This is how it's starting to look...
The Lighthouse installation will
be situated overlooking an urban island. It will transform this traffic bound
area – one that has been subject to much controversy from its inception and now
its future – with its rotating beacon lights. The inventiveness of its
structure will provide a correlation with lighthouses at sea inviting a
spectacle of hope and positivity to the public. Viewers are invited to consider
the ambivalence of meaning the lighthouse portrays both as a protector to those
who are lost, bringing them to a place of safety and as a warning of danger and
uncertainty.
The Lighthouse’s positioning
brings attention to the historical gateway of the city and offers the public a
rare chance to participate in helping to both illuminate and protect it.
Only 15-20 words for brochure - "Come visit The
Lighthouse overlooking an urban island inviting us to consider
its ambivalence of meaning - as protector and warning of
uncertainty."
Public
access to the area Level 5 car park as main viewing point. Also visible from
the streets below and the castle.
