dbo:abstract
Faro del Comercio is a monument designed by the accomplished Mexican architect Luis Barragán and constructed in 1984 by architect . It is a recognizable sight in Monterrey among many other modern manmade landmarks, such as Neptune's Fountain, the Monterrey City Hall, the Papal Bridge (El Puente del Papa), and the Bridge of Unity (Puente de la Unidad) in San Pedro, connecting that municipality to Monterrey. These sites are intended on one hand to complement the city's few remaining traditional landmarks, such as, the Bishopric Palace (Palacio del Obispado) and Museum, the City's Cathedral, the Central Post Office (old Monterrey City Hall), and the State of Nuevo León Government building, on the north end of the Macroplaza. On the other hand, they are also intended to project an image of a city that prides itself as being the most progressive large industrial city of Mexico. El Faro del Comercio was built in commemoration of the founding of the Chamber of Commerce of Monterrey's on its 100-year anniversary. It is located near the south end of the Macroplaza facing the City's Cathedral and behind the new Monterrey City Hall. El Faro del Comercio is 69.80 meters tall and 12.33 meters wide. Its bright reddish-orange color attracts attention when visiting the Macroplaza, Monterrey's central park. At nights, the landmark frequently projects a rotating green spotlight which interrupts the city's night sky with its beam in a somewhat random cycle in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey. Recently (2007), many large reflecting white spotlights from the nearby Museum of Mexican History and Santa Lucia Riverwalk, and around the where in 2005 the largest Mexican flag was installed (Banderas monumentales) and flown at night, as well as from high-power reflectors of many commercial establishments, clash randomly in the sky, visible from most locations in Monterrey and the surrounding areas. After failing or being "out of commission" for several years due to an impractical technical laser mechanism which intended to have three colored lasers and a much greater visual impact on the dark skies of the surrounding areas, some of the original mechanism was salvaged and partially replaced and redesigned to have some operational ability with the green color. The redesign has some success since green is the color for which the eye is most sensitive and allows the perception of more light for the power limitations. However, the new design falls far short of the original claims for the construction. The structure was repainted after the laser renovation and reinaugurated at the 196th Independence Day Anniversary celebration on September 16, 2006. El Faro del Comercio es un monumento emblemático de la ciudad mexicana de Monterrey, situado en la Macroplaza frente a la Catedral de Monterrey y detrás de las Oficinas Municipales. Su diseño se atribuye al famoso arquitecto Luis Barragán (quien hasta su muerte nunca reconoció la autoría) y fue construido por el arquitecto con motivo de la celebración del primer centenario de la Cámara de Comercio de Monterrey. Sus dimensiones son de 69.80 metros de altura y 12.33 de anchura, siendo uno de los puntos más visitados en la Macroplaza. Por las noches se enciende un láser verde que se puede ver desde muchos puntos de la ciudad y su área metropolitana. Este proyecto fue originalmente nombrado Placa Roja cuando CYDSA, mediante una presentación el 15 de diciembre de 1981, lo adquirió con el objeto de escoger un modelo para la realización de una escultura. El 2 de septiembre de 1982 se le denominó Faro del Comercio, cuando CYDSA lo cedió a la CANACO de Monterrey, siendo uno de los principales promotores del proyecto el Sr. Rubén Alanís Albuerne, presidente de la misma organización en ese periodo. Faro del Comercio is de naam van een monument in het centrum van Monterrey. Het is een rode zuil van 69,80 meter hoog en 12,33 meter breed, die zich bevindt op het , het centrale plein van de stad, te midden van enkele bomen en banken, en vlak voor de kathedraal. 's Nachts en 's avonds zendt het groene laserstralen uit over Monterrey en zijn voorsteden. Dit monument werd in 1984 ontworpen door de beroemde Mexicaanse architect Luis Barragán ter gelegenheid van het honderdjarige bestaan van de Kamer van Koophandel van Monterrey. Het bouwen ervan werd uitgevoerd door de architect Raul Ferrara. Faro del Comercio betekent in het Spaans "Vuurtoren van de Handel".
