Tunnels, as symbolic images, are always associated with underground journeys. The world in its entirety is concealed in the darkness of the tunnel, and from this darkness one may glimpse the celestial brightness of the stars.
Since ancient times the human mind has continuously sought distinctions within observed phenomena, mapping relationships and drawing constellations of meaning — the very process that today we call information.
The Summer Triangle appears in the sky after twilight fades. It is formed by three stars: Altair in Aquila, Vega in Lyra, and Deneb in Cygnus. Their luminous geometry becomes a mental map suspended between myth and scientific observation.
Altair evokes the eagle that carried Zeus’s thunderbolts. Vega shines in the constellation of Lyra, the instrument of Orpheus — poet and symbol of the tragic beauty of existence. Deneb, among the most distant stars visible to the naked eye, sends us light that began its journey sixteen centuries ago.
Myth and measurement, Orpheus and Deneb, are parallel languages: they remind us that the map is not the territory, the description is not the described.
Every symbolic passage through darkness is followed by emergence into open space — from obscurity to light. The ivy planted on the exterior of the tunnel allows nature to continue this narrative, transforming architecture into a living constellation.
