"Estela de Luz" Project
The monument celebrating the bicentennial of Mexican independence.
|
"Estela de Luz” is a lighted tower that is located in the area of the Bosque de Chapultepec, in the heart of Mexico City.
117 meters high, of which 104 meters are
above ground, the tower consists of eight
stainless steel columns.
The columns, each 910mm in diameter,
will be placed in two parallel lines of four
columns each, on the surface of which
1704 panels of transparent quartz will be
mounted.
The entire structure is equipped with the
most modern anti-seismic and wind
resistance systems.
The panels will be illuminated by a complex
led system designed that will create
spectacular and suggestive effects.
