Pharos Route Module — hero view
Subtle golden-ratio divisions guide the eye across land and sea, shaping how the viewer reads the panel. The proportional balance between the sea surface, the landmass, and the text blocks is not arbitrary — it follows a spatial logic rooted in classical proportion.
As with all Pytheas-related navigational artworks, the Pharos Regional Panel also includes the Aristotelian wind names. Here, their presence is more subtle — represented through the three winds characteristic of the Adriatic region — but they remain an essential part of the navigational logic that connects every piece in the Pytheas series.
Each Regional Panel Module is a numbered, editioned artefact. The numbering system follows the same logic as the Navigation Box Collection — named, numbered, no reprints.
Every production phase is documented: photography and video from cutting through assembly to final finish. The record travels with the edition.
Edition numbering reserved.
Pharos is the reference module for the entire Pytheas route system. Its construction logic, layer sequence, and documentation standard define the template for all subsequent modules — Emporion, Ictis, Massalia, and beyond.
The QR layer embedded in the panel connects the physical object to the live Pytheas Connect map — bridging artefact, location, and digital record.
Available via the Gaaboard Collage shop (Ecwid).
Pharos currently in Pre-Edition status.
The panel stands complete on its own. The digital layer is an optional extension — not a replacement, not a subscription trap.
A free, non-commercial proof-of-concept. Scan the QR on the panel to access a clear, simple demonstration of what the route system is and how the panel connects to it. No sign-up. No pressure. Just the idea, shown directly.
Available with the panel.
A paid companion that adds depth: extended route context, historical sources, annotated maps, and interactive layers. It lives on a separate channel and reinforces the panel rather than replacing it. The physical object remains complete without it.
Available as a digital companion — 12 €.

Optional: QR layers can link artefact ↔ module page ↔ map layer, and can be activated on-site at specific locations — acting as a gateway between object, place, and the Pytheas system.
