Architectural lighting designer Toni Amoros employed 24 Clay Paky Mythos fixtures
to create a spectacular festive light show at South America’s tallest skyscraper, the
Costanera Centre.
The Costanera Centre is in the heart of Chile’s financial district and comprises a six-
floor shopping mall, two luxury hotels and bustling office space. Its highest levels
are home to Sky Costanera, the highest observation deck in South America.
Amoros employed the Mythos, supplied by Producciones Icardi, to project striking
beams of light up the entire length of the tower, as well as bring it to life with
dynamic patterns and festive gobos.
“Our challenge was to cover all four sides of the tower with gobos and textures so
naturally we chose the powerful Mythos,’ says Amoros. “The fixtures provided us
with the perfect combination of light intensity and fantastic effects.’
The two-and-a-half-hour light show ran for nearly one month. Crowds gathered on
opening night at the Sculpture Park, located four blocks from the skyscraper, to
watch the display while different bands performed.
“The Mythos’ versatility meant we could create a myriad of different looks to ensure
the light show was full of surprises,’ continues Amoros. “Combined with their
reliability, these fixtures are ideal for a whole range of applications.’
