Embracing Renzo Piano’s vision, the Waterfront di Levante project designed by RPBW and OBR aims to recreate a strong urbanity on the sea, addressing the theme of the Port starting from the city, redeveloping the abandoned areas of the former Fair.
It’s an urban patching, transforming what first was a backside with no view, occluded and disconnected from the city, into a new landmark on Genoa’s seafront, with new urban and port functions, both public and private. These include a large urban park, a new dock, residences, offices, student housing, retail facilities, the Pilot Tower and Casa della Vela.
