LA VILLE VAGUE
For decades it has been certain that the sea level is gradually rising and that pollution and other factors have caused the Earth's temperature to rise progressively. Issues such as the transition to renewable energy, the "green city", and the reduction of land consumption are now causing major paradigm shifts within our discipline of study. These aspects related to experimentation and architectural design, which as we all know means to throw forward, together with the theme of the thesis workshop whose main focus was to be the Waterfront with the Mediterranean Sea at its center, allowed us to elaborate a research project that entered into the merits of the above-mentioned compelling issues, concentrating and catalyzing them into a project that, essentially experimental, proposes an innovative answer to the new architectural questions.
This thesis, starting from its theoretical roots, and examining in-depth the scientific themes that offer the foundations for our story, seeks, through bibliographical research and with the help of several projects and suggestions from the field of art, to construct new dialogues on the theme of the relationship between the city and water, finding in Nice the ideal place for experimentation.
It will therefore be an excursus involving the hot topics of recent times, as we believe that architecture is born and radiates in a historical, social, and cultural context, and will try to nourish the project with questions linked to the types of settlement to succeed in establishing a solid and lasting dialogue in that space which is in direct comparison with the urban pre-existence and the sea.

These are only visual suggestions of the project, a very short part of my thesis work, completed together with two of my teammates.
I owe them a special thanks.
