“A stream of bright lines which, by approaching, interwining and moving away from each other, manages to define and give unity to the pedestrian flows, becoming part of the wayfinding system.” AF
A STREAM OF BRIGHT LINES
The Docks system was developed to meet the need to redefine the over 300 meters long irregular pedestrian paths, present in the Les Docks building in Marseille. The project, signed by Alfonso Femia / AF*Design, creates a stream of bright lines which, by approaching, interwining and moving away from each other, manages to define and give unity to the pedestrian flows, becoming part of the wayfinding system.

“The lighting project of the Marseilles Docks is based on some indispensable foundations, first of all the contribution of light as a factor in creating original atmospheres, which give the project perception and visual openness revealing the beauty of its spaces, giving life to a dialogue between the themes of the city and the sea, the two souls of the city.” AF
