Italian Pavilion

CALL FOR VISIONS AND PROJECTS

Terræ Aquæ. 
Italy and the Intelligence of the Sea

Biennale 2025, selected project.

ARCIPELAGO VIVO - proposes a system of modular platforms extended over the sea and connected to the coast to extend public space and counter erosion. These structures make usable coastal areas subject to severe marine erosion.

This vision proposes a new paradigm between land and sea through flexible and self-sufficient solutions. The floors are made of naval reclaimed wood and the service structures have photovoltaic roofs. Archipelago Vivo is not only a strategy to combat erosion, but a new frontier of protection and sustainable urbanisation.
