THE MESSINA WATERFRONT PROJECTS SHOWCASED AT MIA PHOTO FAIR
From April 11th to 14th, we participated along with 18 other architecture and design studios in the collective exhibition by Manifesto dell’Abitare at the MIA-Photo Fair. Manifesto dell’Abitare interpreted the theme of the event, change, focusing on the element of water and its fluidity. Benedetto Camerana Studio showcased the Masterplan project for the Messina Waterfront with a concise vision board and delivered a speech during the fair’s public program. This project, which we have been working on for over 10 years, proposes a large-scale concept to reshape the entire Messina waterfront, providing citizens with a new linear view of the sea, an area historically blocked by abandoned buildings and a massive railway passage dividing the urban area from the water. It was gratifying to discuss the idea of opening a seaside city to the sea during this moment of reflection and sharing on architecture, landscape, and change.
