INTRODUCTION The city of Genoa represents a dense and complex l a y e r i n g o f h i s t o r y, i n f r a s t r u c t u r e a n d i n t r i c a t e s y s t e m o f p a t h s . K e v i n Ly n c h ’s “ I m a g e o f t h e c i t y ” was the basic layer in understanding the systems that Genoa runs on. “Paths: routes along which people move throughout the city”
Paths-Through Genoa Redevelopment concept is based on a grid with a scaffold system that can be enclosed to create interior space, or dissolve to allow for a public space. The project aim is to provide a flexible structural system that can adapt to the shifting cultural and social conditions of its time. It provides a socially interactive space for the Genovese, and the tourists coming through the cruise terminal. The blending of interior and exterior space allows architecture and landscape to merge.

G e n o a i s a 2 0 0 0 y e a r o l d c i t y, a n d t h r o u g h o u t t h e years it has successfully built sophisticated and e f f i c i e n t v e h i c u l a r, p e d e s t r i a n , a n d t r a n s i t s y s t e m s on the ground, with the incoming cruises and shipments through the sea. All the systems are linked through main piazzas. Public areas in the heart of the city that are used for events that bring people out of their homes for social interaction. The main systems used are the pedestrian paths and transit/ Metro systems. Because Genoa is a d e n s e c i t y, p e d e s t r i a n s a r e e n c o u r a g e d t o w a l k t h e c i t y, e x p l o r e a n d r e a c h t h e i r d e s t i n a t i o n t h r o u g h different paths that can all lead to the same destination but with a different experience.

The concept derived from Genoa is the concept of “Paths�. The historical district where the site is situated, is made up of intricate pedestrian paths. Each path has a different width and experience, and they all connect different main piazzas and public spaces. E a c h P a t h t a k e s y o u o n a j o u r n e y, t h r o u g h a n experience eventually it leads you into an open public space. Views are framed with trees planted in a pattern, or the facades of the buildings. In conclusion, because there are many paths that link the different piazzas, pedestrians are not limited by a defined main circulation paths in contrast to other cities. The experience differs from a local Genovese, to a visitor and how they choose to experience the city through the different paths.

T h e C r u i s e S h i p Te r m i n a l d e s i g n r e v o l v e s around a systematic circulation that leads the occupants through narrow corridors with views to the outside, into bigger open spaces with a fluid circulation. The narrow corridors allow for views from different sides giving a unique experience to the user every-time they turn to go on to the next part. The terminal follows the same design concepts used in the masterplanning of the s i t e . Ve r t i c a l g r e e n c o u r t y a r d s p u n c t u r e through to allow sunlight and ventilation. The design also includes a Flex Space to be for the public use allowng the terminal to become a meeting point between Genovese and tourists. When it is not used as a terminal, the space can become an exhibition space, museum, performance space, etc.
