We understand this brief as the opportunity to create a dialectical proposal raging between an intensive and extensive use of space. Despite the competition lines focus on a project site that adapt to the actual coast line, this proposal is based in modifying that front line to tackle the programme and mobility issues crucial to solve.

By unfolding the traditional waterfront program into productive space we provide a new coast line, gaining firm areas (intensifying through a considerable number of square meters and productivity).

The extended city project is a bouyant, fluctuating field of both housing and productive spaces, public areas, walkaways and underwater nets. Its purpose is to stimulate the development of a non determined public space woven in strips linking water and soil.
