The design project submitted by the Spanish architect in the context of a competition provided for a spectacular lighting concept for the tram tracks and pedestrian crossings of this 400-metre-long square. The equestrian statue of Prince Carl Philipp zu Schwarzenberg was to be accented with slim lamp posts. This design was implemented in highly reduced and modified fashion.
