As the linear formed ancient town, Loano in the 20th century faced the reformation of urban space as well, by transportation, the harbor and the train station. Those two are dramatically located on the opposite side of the linear town with the longest way going through all the places where tourists and locals meet, visit and get involved. The harbor had been evolved since 1938 from a fishing oriented to the yacht center. The absence of publicity will be filled in the future by our architectural intervention. The end of the route, would be an epicenter of the town on which a small cruise can stay for a festival where the harbor can contain all the events.

The very end of the pier would be a forestry park as the first impression of people, then the speculating path with loggia leads the certain order by all kinds of service and public activities. The entire harbor is linked by the stone column path which represents the traditional architectonic value of urbanism and the city, while the trees as the symbol of nature also intervene the walking experience by opening space and eyeview.

The buildings and public spaces on the route are like islands that take the activities, at the same time, the path plays the role as bridges which provide a total integration with seascape as the eternal element of nature view. Both the library and the theater, have a frame of scenery of the sea as the daily life watching in a special way.
