As an urbanist, an architect is an urban space builder whose work includes the crossing of people and vehicles, focusing on the dynamics of a city, but related to constructing buildings and transforming that space into something functional to society. It is also art. But the key challenge to an urbanist is to fulfill the needs of a modern 20th century city, as it has created a wide array of activities that go beyond a day shift and compels those involved in its construction and management to rethink and adapt the urban space to nighttime use, after all, it is still regarded as architecture at nighttime. And on such occasion the science of illumination shoul take over. It is intended to rebuild the architecture and the urbanism for the nighttime, while life goes on relentlessly in urban arteries.
