Osumi Island
This competition is based on a test site and is looking for ways of making places resilient. It is using design as a tool to search for best possible solutions of resilience in riverside conditions. It is also looking for ways of developing natural landscapes and defining ‘urban by nature’. Being a test site, it means that the findings of the process can be shared with many other similar context or sites that are at a flooding risk zone and lack features of being resilient. In this perspective, this exercise serves more than the city of Berat. The proposals might become an inspirational source for other sites in Albania or beyond its borders.

osumi ISLAND<br />
An affirmative action in the legal vocabulary is a law aimed at creating<br />
equal opportunities for social/ethnical minorities. Borrowing from the legal<br />
vocabulary, this proposal aims at creating an effective role for the river <strong>Osumi</strong><br />
in the city of Berat. The strategy for reaching this goal is based on respecting the<br />
natural resilience of the river bed.<br />
