WATERMARKS – architecture in a fluid world

“Water as journey. Green is good. Blue is better.” Alfonso Femia

Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia participated to the RSAW spring school in Portmeirion where they confronted themselves on the theme of “watermarks” with the University of Wales Trinity Saint Davidy / Swansea and the University of the West of England, with English (Baca architects) and Dutch architecture firms (Jandirk Hockstra H+N+S). The experience in the cities of Marseilles, Algiers, Tangier and Genoa are the basis of the reflection on the relationship of the city as a dialog between “the physical body and the liquid body” which Alfonso Femia is developing around the Mediterranean with AF517.
