A warm feeling of permanence and protection. A timeless piece. An iconic building. The lighthouse has become a universal typology. It is a manufactured monument, yet it feels as though it is one with the earth. In our modern society, the function of the lighthouse has almost become obsolete due to technological advances; yet lighthouses still line the coasts. Its impactful form and significance isn’t something to leave behind, but instead something to preserve. The idea of creating the formwork around the iconic shape of the lighthouse works with the idea that the lighthouse form is still there, but the physical materials that make up the lighthouse are gone.
