Lighting for the Metro de Lyon competition, graphic study of the logo for the Design Book, winner.
Alstom Design and Styling requested the intervention of Jacques Rival, architect.
"Building on my attachment to the city of Lyon, I had the pleasure to think about light atmosphere for the new metro.
Having participated in several taken again at the Festival of Lights, I was able to experiment at various intervention scales, ideas and concepts
As an architect, the light material is essential for me in all the projects I design; it seems to me essential to make live my projects over various times.
My experience over the years, both through event projects, object design and light issues in living space, made me think that light is a tool to provide a sensory experience.
It falls within the field of aesthetics without however to satisfy itself; it is part of a larger whole and reflects a general idea that goes far beyond it.
Its technology cannot be satisfied with its own effects.
Above all, she has this ability to work to awaken the reverie that lies dormant in each of us.
Light, as an atmosphere, has a wonderfulpower to give emotions.
I think that the daily life of thousands of passengers cannot do without its presence.
It is in this approach that I worked around the "light metro" , trying to find a project that leads passengers to daydream in a soft and light way. "
