Beacons video on VimeoThe illumination of the Marlins Ballpark super-columns uses the simple
concept of revealing and concealing through the use of light. Standing
nearly 200 feet in height, each of the four columns fades up and down as
if the light is a breath, appearing and disappearing in subtly varying
rhythms. The scale of the columns and the oscillating light allow this
effect to be visible at great distances through the city, acting as a
beacon drawing fans to the ballpark and announcing events occurring
within.
