"The main theme of the project is the re-definition of an environmental system through a new urban model that develops in time phases, structured on water lines and basins, and on a new vision of public space that puts everyday life into direct contact with nature. The system is double dynamic: it responds to the fluctuations of the canal and also to the habitat changes in its forms and uses. The phases do not want to be a rigid pre-set land occupation system, but a flexible way to interpret the needs of future generations."
