西班牙比戈　光環之塔

此案坐落於西班牙北部港城——比戈，由一座塔樓和天橋組成，是通往大型廣場、購物中心、火車站和其他公共場所的全新路徑，同時作為公共場域的延伸以促進人流來往。形如光環的橋樑不僅提供全方位觀賞角度，其簡約線條亦是工程、建築與藝術三者結合的展現。

"Halo" is a sculpture of pure lines, the union of engineering, architecture, and art. It answered the right questions and the questions were clear: is it possible to intervene without blinding the view from the central atrium of the new intermodal station? It is possible to create an elevated walkway as an extension of the public square, without disturbing the vision of the users? Is it inevitable for the people who live near the walkway to lose some of their privacy? And finally, can all these questions be resolved with a single gesture, a greeting to the visitor, and with zero consumption? The answer is simple, yes.

此塔樓高達三十公尺並位處交通樞紐，猶如城市中的燈塔，為人們指引方位和遮風擋雨。內部設有兩部電梯，除了有效縮短等候時間，亦使騎乘自行車的市民能夠輕易向上通行。此外，該塔另設有四座豎井式風力渦輪機且連接公共電網，因此得以達到能源的自給自足。

The tower plunges into the ground and anchors itself to it, hugging users and protecting them from the elements. The elevator tower is centered on the axis of the street, allowing the tower to visually communicate with both transport nodes and guide the visitor. To solve vertical communication, two elevators are designed for twenty-one people, reducing waiting time during rush hours and facilitating intramodality, allowing access to people on bicycles.

The project aims to facilitate the transversal permeability between García Barbón and Urzáiz. This walkway is understood as part of the public space, as an elevated street that leads to a large square, related to both the shopping center the train, and bus stations. One of the arms is covered, to preserve the privacy of the inhabitants of García Barbón towers. Thus, this part of the structure closes in on itself, while the other arm opens to offer the citizens impressive views of the Ría de Vigo.

天橋結構採用預製金屬骨架，外以白色漆鋼板和丁醛夾層玻璃覆蓋；淺色建材使龐大橋梁在視覺上顯得輕盈。團隊刻意將環狀設計向海灣方向延伸，旨在避免影響既有的城市景觀和視野。同時，為維護鄰近居民的居住隱私，近住宅側的橋立面刻意作高形成封閉面；由內可見外露的金屬骨架，外則因夾層玻璃而降低視線穿透性。靠近海灣一側則盡情敞開，於白天時迎接陽光，使其映照於封閉面的裸露骨架和玻璃上；當夜幕降臨，封閉面的橋梁結構與行人輪廓則因背光而清晰可見。

Another important point was to avoid to the utmost any visual impact on the views from the central atrium of the intermodal, this great "oculus" that opens onto the estuary. The ring shape allows us to laterally move away from the atrium, leaving it as free as possible. Inside the tower, at a height of 30m above the ground, there are 4 shaft wind turbines to power the elevators, making them self-sufficient as much as possible. In parallel, the elevators are also connected to the public electricity supply network. The metallic skeleton, which would come in pre-formed parts, allows the rapid execution of the project. The structure will be covered with white lacquered sheet steel and laminated glass with white butyral, which will give it an image of lightness despite its dimensions. This metallic skeleton will remain visible inside the covered area of the walkway; in this way, during the day the clarity of the sun will bathe the inside of the covered arm, while at night the glass skin that covers the entire exterior cellar and the front of the elevator tower will be backlit to show the structure and the silhouettes of the users.
