Vlora Waterfront
Vlora is one of the most beautiful coastal urban sites in the Albanian coast. It attracts quite a large number of tourists every season but also during the entire year, especially during weekends. These are facts that make Vlora receive a lot of public attention. Therefore the design of the Waterfront promenade should be a product of not a single designer or a single studio. It should be a product of a collective public opinion through an instrument that ensures the expression of interest of many designers, finalized by an open and transparent selection of the wide public facilitated by the local and international expertise.

he strategy of the strips exemplifies our approach to the crucial issue<br />
of landscape. We view landscape less as an obsessive manicure of<br />
flowers and plant species, and more as the archetypical gesture of<br />
tracing lines and boundaries that define the form of a place. The image<br />
proposed is thus manifested not though traditional architectural features<br />
such as buildings, but through the simple lines that separate the built from<br />
the non-built, the inside from the outside, and that divide nature from the<br />
artificial. This strategy, will give the freedom to the municipal authorities<br />
to elaborate and vary their individual, seasonal and other planting and<br />
gardening arrangements.<br />
