Lift (Constructing building)

A New ROOM : 506 – F

Elephant and Castle area.

View from a window . (not a final piece, no quality image).

After the invitation to do a project on an elevator/funicular or public lift on a public space in Lisbon became more sensitive to the mechanics and movements of all kind of lifts.

I realise how important is the constant observation of the same view. Could be exaggerated to compare but like Monet painted several times the view of St. Victoire mountain, trough his room window, I found myself addicted to observe every day the different movements of the fans windmills on top of buildings in Elephant and Castle. Later, in a quick research I read that those buildings were already making part of the regeneration project of the area. They are built with ecologic systems of energy.
