Project details
The intervention is part of a large integrated project for the redevelopment of public spaces and water fronts of the city of Savona. The Urban Park of the Extension is an important historical place for the city, thanks to its close link with the sea and the Priamar Fortress. The project focuses on enhancing the unique characteristics of the place, proposing new uses and enhancing existing ones, transforming the park into a meeting place and transition between the different parts of the city. The goal is to improve the urban image and to recover spaces for socializing. The new promenade is characterized by a long stone seat that follows the shoreline of the sea, creating a continuous break that brings to mind the movement of the waves.
