GENOA PORT, ITALY, GENOA, 1997

Urban masterplan for the areas Fiumara San Benigno and Ponte Parodi in the port of Genoa.

The port of Genoa is the geophysical condition, beautifully located on the slopes of the coastal mountains the city overlooks the Mare Ligure and the harbour. There the steep seashore forces the city and the harbour to coexist on the same stretch of coast. Result is the historical city in front of an ever modernising harbour: nostalgia facing the pure contemporary condition. So we realised that no conventional waterfront rehabilitation could be the answer.
