80 CONTENT IN ENGLISH 026 CD hances the sensory culinary experience, is brought to life through the veiled materiality of the light. Architecture and lighting design work together towards this end; The undefined background, the transparent chairs and tables reflecting their surroundings, the translucent vertical glass walls that allow visitors to imagine and then discover the different tasting rooms. A cloud-like ceiling made from wire mesh acts as a central element of the lighting design. The luminous yet murky ‘cloud’ fills the restaurant and submerges diners in an ethereal world through the use of vaporous materials and light. The colour sets the mood and generates chromatic com- positions guiding diners to the themed rooms; the Cava lounge the colour of wine, the Cocktail lounge the colour of ice, and the Teppanyaki lounge the colour of fire. The experience is served. The lighting design is integrated and well hidden so that it goes unnoticed: LED technology (4000K, 12-Watt LEDs) is controlled by Dali, miniature spotlights for kitchen ar- eas and tables, the ‘cloud’ made of low-power 2800 LEDs (2-Watts, 4000 and 4-Watts, RGBW) matrix with DMX control, placed as backlight behind the translucent mate- rial, in a pixel pitch of 45 x 45cm, allows for the addition of colour, densities and tridimensional light effects to every area of the restaurant. Together with the chef and the architects the aim was to propose an integral concept and to design a distinguished place to enjoy high cuisine in an atmosphere that is special, spatial, essential and tailored to this purpose. Everything designed for this space aims to fit within this objective: To aim at something deeper, more intrinsic, vital, con- temporary, resulting from a combined sensorial experience of integration of content and container. To conceive a new perception of warmth, something that goes far beyond the typical concept of warm light fo- cused on a table and the general light that allows for the understanding of the place, the materials and the location of the luminaries. To achieve a result where material and light would co- exist as one single communication through a dynamic cen- tral element. The idea of having a cloud-shaped LED matrix that would allow for the generation of densities and tridimen- sional light effects. The use of white light, 4000k, high CRI, to generate shades of grey (light, shadow) and light the food. The use of colour to enhance the themed areas. All within the current energy-saving regulations and made with a standard budget for lighting material/light- ing control (100€/m2).

Since the building maintained its original structure, the design team decided to relate the existing structural grid to the guestroom distribution, conforming at the end a very clean and ordered exterior appearance. The façade’s materials are stone within the grid while copper clads the window openings and marquee at main entrance. The Lighting scheme aims to emphasise the rhythm and materials of the building, integrating three lighting systems. The base of the building accounts for a glass façade that unifies the ground floor lobby and the mezzanine confer- ence rooms. While the lower part is transparent, the higher one uses a laminated glass, which holds a gold fabric in the middle. The lighting looks to emphasise this by accent lighting these through wall grazers that are integrated within the lower part of glass profiles. The second system is the marquee, which accounts for a backlit glass panel and the third, is a waterproof narrow beam LED channel integrated within all windowsills. Lighting systems are LED and are integrated into the overall control system, which also counts with an astro- nomical timeclock.

The conceptual development of the project considered a range of factors that included the integration, preser- vation, implementation, safety, and assimilation of the project, as well as the technical and artistic challenges of creating an experience that would appeal to both tourists and Puerto Vallarta residents. The requirements of the project included creating a lighting design that would fit the context, respect and preserve the natural surroundings, feature appropriate levels of light to ensure both visual comfort and pub- lic safety, make use of the most efficient technologies, among others. To achieve this, we designed a world-class lighting sys- tem that addressed citizens’ needs and demands. This led to the establishment of our primary objective: to create a new image for the area by using light as an element to trigger activities that characterize the downtown area of the city. From the beginning, the project was divided into two scenarios: • Public Lighting: the renovation of the street poles with Micenas LED; this included wiring, channeling and taking down street poles and lights in a way that preserved the architectural details and made the intervention imper- ceptible. • Scenic Lighting: with LED strips and projectors featuring a color change system that lights the walkway next to the beach and extends all the way to the promenade’s sig- nature sail-shaped awnings. These can be programmed individually, adjusting tones and light levels according to the time of day and in a way that avoids harm to the local fauna. For example, in the turtle season, luminaires can be dimmed or programmed to project warm colors that do not disorient the turtles. Moreover, the following technical guidelines were included: • All luminaires were installed to avoid any risk to visitors caused by the humidity of the natural environment. • The color of the scenic lighting can be changed to match specific cultural events, meaning the walkway and the monuments can take on different colors depending on the date and the event, thanks to a state-of-the-art con- trol system. The design of this Master Plan has reinforced the appeal of the heart of Puerto Vallarta, and improved the level of public safety. The response to the plan has been, so far, quite positive: downtown nightlife and tourism have re- vived, as shown by the average of over 3.7 million visitors. The coordination of strategies and proposals has ensured a harmonic balance between architecture, people and na- ture, earning this city a place among the world’s premiere tourist destinations.

In its fourth edition, which took place in May 2016, the theme was “Light and Art”, with talks by Carles Guerra, Director of the Antoni Tàpies Foundation and Michela Mezzavilla, Architect and Lighting Designer. The importance of the event lies in the brand’s ability to choose a different theme each year, analyzing in depth and broadening knowledge on light, mobilizing over 700 people in two cities, thus representing a significant contri- bution to the dissemination of the culture of light. In its first celebration in Barcelona, on 19 May 2016, the Antoni Tàpies Foundation room was transformed into a great stage, where different lights played with the works of the well-known artist Antoni Tàpies and the 4 white cubicles which housed Fluvia’s Arch, Lane, Point and Loop lights. The ephemeral installation “WAV!” also stood out:
