079 Porta Cielo
‘Porta Cielo’ is conceived for the Alghero Airport in Sardinia, to be installed outside in front of the main entrance. Inspired by the local Genius Loci, the artwork recalls with its conical shape the ancient local traditional architecture of the Nuraghe. The outer ring is made of stainless steel that reflects the dynamic surrounding environment. The central ring, with its organic and perforated shape, symbolizes the corals, another element of this region that gives its name to the airport itself: “Riviera dei Coralli”. Integrated LED lights suggestive scenographic effect after the sunset. The name, ‘Porta Cielo’ represents the new access of the city of Alghero, already an important central Mediterranean harbor, to new international connections through the sky.

‘Porta Cielo’ è stato ideato per l' aeroporto di Alghero in Sardegna, per essere installato all'esterno di fronte all'ingresso principale. Ispirato al Genius Loci del luogo, l'opera d'arte ricorda con la sua forma conica l'antica architettura tradizionale locale del Nuraghe. L'anello esterno è fatto di acciaio inossidabile, che riflette il dinamico contesto circostante. L'anello centrale, con la sua forma organica e perforata, simboleggia i coralli, un altro elemento di questa regione che dà il nome all'aeroporto stesso: " Riviera dei Coralli ". Luci al LED integrate creano un suggestivo effetto scenografico dopo il tramonto. Il nome, 'Porta Cielo ' rappresenta il nuovo accesso della città di Alghero, già importante porto del Mediterraneo centrale, a nuovi collegamenti internazionali attraverso il cielo.
