Re-Activating Rijeka

Designing Land and Water-Borne Urbanization Processes 


The following questions the students deal with during the semester are: What do the dynamic situation of global investments, geopolitical conditions, and the climate crisis in the 21st century mean for Rijeka, located on the border between east and west, water and land? 

The studio will re-design, re-program, and re-invent an innovation zone for the re-establishment of a new model for a harbor city, designing beyond the land and the water.
Rijeka, as the center of shipbuilding in the Adriatic Sea, is known to be a harbor with a city. This studio is proposing the design of a coastal paradigm for the Mediterranean and generating an alternative city development model for Rijeka, the European Capital of Culture 2020.

 "Rijeka is not a city with a harbor but a harbor with a city "
