“Like a hand, the city rediscovers the sea and its horizon, between nature and artifice” AF
The proposal is to create two “water territories” – corresponding to the two phases of the intervention – within the existing platform. One territory – green dune/first phase – is related to playtime and nautical activities, the other one is related to urban life and to the buildings designed for fairs and offices.
The distinction between the first and the second phase is highlighted by the construction of the so-called “open hand”, a new complex of buildings bringing the city and the sea nearer, completing the Old Dock Master Plan operation.
