The principles used as a base for the project can be summed-up as follows: continuity of the promenade; continuous and discontinuous visual lines; the green areas; car visibility; “the sea is better”; reversibility. These characteristics refer above all to the works of the beach: the use of light structures and natural materials, the dry assembling of modular units and the preservation of the safety devices allowed to significantly modify the route of the roads but with minimal modifications.
