Monument Project – Obelisk
The Obelisk is a monument designed by architect Alessandre Campos for the visual identification of neighborhoods, cities, or communities. Made of reinforced concrete, it features a precise geometric design with a burnished cement finish. Its LED lighting system enhances its verticality and prominence, while expanded PVC letters display the locality’s name. The structure combines stability and visibility, serving as both a spatial reference and a symbol of community identity.

The Obelisk monument, designed by architect and urban planner Alessandre Campos, aims to serve as a visual communication element and a landmark for a neighborhood, city entrance, or community. It is structured in reinforced concrete with a smooth and natural finish, featuring a burnished cement effect.

The locality name identification is made of expanded PVC box letters, which can be embedded in the concrete as a recessed relief or fixed onto the surface in raised relief. The lighting system consists of external linear LED strips in blue or RGB, positioned at all four corners of the structure, as well as embedded ground spotlights directed at the monument’s faces.

The Obelisk has a well-defined geometric structure. Its 2D base is a square, while in 3D, it forms a cube (all faces having the same dimensions as the base – 1.50 m). The central piece is a rectangle (0.80 x 0.60 m), positioned along its axis at 45° (forty-five degrees) relative to the base. The front face (View 1) and the rear face (View 2) each feature an additional rectangular relief element (0.10 x 0.60 m), protruding 10 cm (ten centimeters) and measuring 50 cm (fifty centimeters) shorter in height compared to the main piece, which will house the identification letters.

The verticality and slenderness (in a linguistic sense) of the central piece enhance its prominence and visibility, further accentuated by the lighting design. Meanwhile, the solid cubic base ensures stability. The lettering positioned on the entry and exit-facing sides of the monument serves as both a directional marker for passersby and a symbol of identity and belonging for the local community.
