The site is located on the border between two realities of Viareggio, one linked to the historic centre and the other to industrial expansion. Its irregular shape is imposed by its forced position between the artificial limits of the railway and the natural limit of the Burlamacca canal. The need to recall sensations offered by the city, synthesised in the pier, the shipyard and the district, determines the rhythms and times of the project. Two simple signs define the space, regulate it. The architecture stands as the backdrop of a green stage, the horizontal limit on which the mountains rest.
