Thinking how the in habitants have to feel the disaster led to go further in the analysis, considering how people perceive their ambient and how much is vital that context for them. Only in this way an architectural operation could became helpful, transforming a catastrophic event in an occasion to reconsider the landscape. The possibilities that this terrible event might occur are due to the massive land reclamation process that involve the area since 80’s.

The contest was, at the beginning, really far from my usual perception, because we can say that somehow there is no land-based contest (because of the absence of the land) and so the design approach could sound strange and far from my typical point of view. But this became a challenge because in this way I could become closer to the scenario-imaginary, and more critical of it. Only after analysis and critics started the design approach and it is important to underline how the architectural proposal doesn’t aspire to be neither a perfect solution nor a criticism against the work done by James Comer Field Operations. I can find the supporting evidence of it in the victory of this masterplan in the urban-design competition.
