"The project addresses Re-sourcing by reactivating Polignano a Mare’s latent ecological, social and agricultural resources, reconnecting the hinterland to the coast. Nature becomes living infrastructure, sociality is re-sourced through co-design and communitarian spaces, and regeneration emerges from restoring biodiversity, shared living and circular local economies rather than extractive tourism."

Ecological strips stitching land and sea
Where agriculture becomes public space
Living together, caring together
