架构师提供的文本描述。“开始”是一种既抽象又形象的干预，在圣诞节的背景下，它有利于过路人的想象。它是由现代艺术在公共空间中的借鉴而发展起来的一种短暂的照明装置，它是在城市的规模上建造的，它激发了与周围历史建筑的视觉互动，提供了新的城市视觉框架。同时，它在广场上呈现出一种虚幻而微妙的存在，通过唤起轻盈和代表性，它打算将拉戈·多斯·洛洛斯置于波尔图圣诞节照明的传统路线上。

Text description provided by the architects. Start is an intervention that is both abstract and figurative, which favours the imagination of passers-by, in the context of the Christmas season. It is an ephemeral lighting installation that grows from references of Modern Art in public space and that is built on the scale of the city, provoking visual interaction with the surrounding historical buildings, providing new urban visual frames. At the same time, it assumes an ethereal and subtle presence on the square that, by evoking lightness and representativeness, intends to place the Largo dos Lóios in the traditional route of the Christmas illuminations in Porto.

具有强大的几何基础，安装是由一个二十面体的细分，在20个等份，假定模块化原则，由标准金属型材，长度为6米。建筑细节受到巴塞罗那米斯亭十字形柱的启发，与可预测的挠度变形作斗争，并寻求在交叉的边缘和平面上消除手臂的非物质化，为创造冻结的分形景观作出贡献。

With a strong geometric base, the installation is constructed from the subdivision of an icosahedron, in twenty equal parts, assuming a modular principle ruled by standard metal profiles with six meters in length. The architectural detail, inspired by the cruciform pillar of the Mies Pavilion in Barcelona, fights the predictable deformation due to deflection and also seeks the dematerialization of the arms in intersecting edges and planes, contributing to the creation of a frozen fractal landscape.

在白天，Start利用被阳光交叉的十二臂投射的阴影的移动模式，同时将其假定的红色轮廓指向几个方向。晚上，Start呈现了一种人工的、静态的和白色的照明，它强化了在时间和空间上停顿的意图，允许对城市风景进行重新评估。它的手臂被不同的照明，指向不同的方向，从而产生不同的几何设计的光作为路过的空间移动。

In the daytime period, Start takes advantage of the moving pattern of the shadows projected by the twelve arms intersected by sunlight, while pointing its assumed red profiles in several directions. At night, Start presents an artificial, static and white lighting, which reinforces the intention to pause in time and space, allowing the re-evaluation of the urban scenery. Its arms are illuminated differently, pointing into distinct directions, thus producing diverse geometric designs of light as the passer-by moves in space.
