ACCESSIBILITY & its IMPACT with the WATERFRONTThis map is a
representation of the beginning of the wholeconcept and development
of the project. Here we depict themorphology of the waterfront
along several sections. Whatis evident is the existence of two
typologies of the shore fromsandy one, to rocky one. Beside that we
read as well thepresence of green, informal settlements, formal
settlements,institutional area, vast open spaces and a variation
oflandscape. The relationship within all of the information
isrepresented by the percentage of each for a total of 100%.
The IPS Project is a human scale approach on making anapplicable
and livable space for everybody and giving to thebeautiful seaside
city of Vlora a new identity.
In every city that is next to the sea, people develop a
specialrelationship with the sea and especially the seaside. The
seasidebecomes an integral part of everyday life for the habitants
of thecity and for the visitors as well.
The IPS Project touches several aspects of
recreation,development and relaxation. What is proposed through
thisproject is a place for everybody, which naturally continues as
alimb of the city without overburdening the city. The
InteractivePublic Space, in the end is seen as a natural merge
inside anexisting urban pattern and gives a better quality of life
to thewhole waterfront.
The city pattern map depicts three structuralelements of Vlora:
green, terrain and urbangrowth. The city is a mix of linear and
radialcity, while on its surroundings the landscapeis of a prior
importance. The impact ofall these elemenets is reflected along
thewaterfront.
Vlora is an important hub for the region,and a main attraction
for tourism. Rightnow the city is accessed by water for
severalactivities, being businesses or touristic.The main harbor of
the city is a stop onlyfor touristic ferries. It has a direct line
withBrindisi, Italy, while other local ferries travelto the north
and south.
The functional map represents the coexistence of
severalfunctions within one another. Hereby we propose
someadditional functions, which consist on small-scale buildings
lyingbeneath the walking area, or even a whole new area to
develop.
The diagrammatic map of public space usage represents
ourproposal on ways to utilize the whole waterfront pedestrian
area.
As it can be seen on the map, there are integrated areas
forwatersports, rollers, running paths, walking areas, beach
areas
etc.
As a very important and basic organizational idea of the whole
project, is the proposal
of an eco-bus and waterbus. They connect mainly the bus stops
and waterbus stopsalong the waterfront. During the summer season
the waterbus is used as well as publictransport for the surrounding
areas such as Rradhime, Orikum, or beyond.
To develop further the project it was necessary to read
accordingto the whole waterfront the presence of those
characteristicsections represented in the morphology map. These two
mapsgive first inputs and hints on specific characteristics of the
terrain.Throughout this methodology we conclude that we have
severalsituations within different elements. For the moment it can
bemention the water, green, buildings and vast open spaces.
The map of accessibility shows a basic urban pattern of
Vloraswaterfront. Here is shown the access of primary and
secondaryroads to the waterfront. The roads collide with the
waterfront andcreate on those spots breaking points, or rather
interference withthe seaside.
