A Few Words on the Project by Bertrand de Tinténiac.
Bertrand de Tinténiac, a landscape designer and manager of the agency "Le Chêne Breton," shares the story of the Saint-Brieuc train station's development project and explains the choice of these masts.
"The Saint-Brieuc train station is a major architectural icon of the Breton railway landscape; arguably the most beautiful station in Brittany. The large urban project to reconfigure public spaces is based on a simple idea: to rethink the city center and bring neighborhoods closer together through a new interpretation of the image and uses in light of the challenges of our time."
"In this profound transformation, lighting quickly emerged as a strong vector for the new identity of the station's forecourts."
"The choice of a simple design, a conical square-section wooden mast with a circular harrow supporting the projectors, has made it possible to simplify the number of lighting points and give the forecourts a strong, unique identity specific to the station's developments."
"A luminous tide clock, integrated into the wooden masts, tells travelers in real time the water level"
"Because Saint-Brieuc is also the first glimpse of the sea when arriving by train, a luminous tide clock, integrated into the wooden masts at the foot of the curved footbridge, tells travelers and station users in real-time the water level in the magnificent Bay of Saint-Brieuc."
