PROCESS With a single technologie, the laser cutting, this product has been thought to be manufactured at an optimized rate of energy and resources consumption. The remaining areas of material are used to produce marketing elements as seals and labels or other products’ pieces at a single time. This principle allow us to minimize the amount of waste and avoid the use of additional graphic printing processes, one of the reasons why we spend more time in the design and pre production stages than in the manufacturing ones.

As the colombian citizens deeply believe in symbols and metaphors, I have decided to propose this design based on the representation of a colombian endemic landscape called Valle del Cocora or Cocora’s Valley in english. In this unique forest, inhabited by the national tree of Colombia, a wax palm is officially listed as threatened by
indiscriminate logging activities. The main fact that motivated me to take this issue as the core of the design proposal. Cocora, as I called my propose, is an active and dynamic lighting pole. Its objectives are to provide security and attract public attention through a unique and attractive space with many different faces during the
day. Moreover, and even more important, it seeks to raise awareness of the natural resources of Colombia and our role in ensuring their care. Through this design, we seek to bring the forest to the urban environment, highlighting the problems that revolves around the illegal exploitation of natural endemic species like this.

The main feature of this lighting pole is the capacity to modify its form by rotating each module according to the day light and ligh intensity. it works under the control of a lighting sensor and the movement is created by the power of an electric engine hidden in the interior of the top compartment. This changes allow to the pedestrians, not only to perceive the space attractive and secure, but to recognize that the space itself has the hability to change according to the environment lighting conditions.
