INTERACTIV PUBLIC SPACE PROJECT

The IPS Project is a human scale approach on making an applicable and livable space for everybody and giving to the beautiful seaside city of Vlora a new identity.

In every city that is next to the sea, people develop a special relationship with the sea and especially the seaside. The seaside becomes an integral part of everyday life for the habitants of the city and for the visitors as well.

CITY GREEN TERRAIN

The IPS Project touches several aspects of recreation, development and relaxation. What is proposed through this project is a place for everybody, which naturally continues as a limb of the city without overburdening the city. The Interactive Public Space, in the end is seen as a natural merge inside an existing urban pattern and gives a better quality of life to the whole waterfront.

IMPACT ALONG THE WATERFRONT

The city pattern map depicts three structural elements of Vlora: green, terrain and urban growth. The city is a mix of linear and radial city, while on its surroundings the landscape is of a prior importance. The impact of all these elemenets is reflected along the waterfront.

MORPHOLOGY (analysis of the terrain along the waterfront) This map is a representation of the beginning of the whole concept and development of the project. Here we depict the morphology of the waterfront along several sections. What is evident is the existence of two typologies of the shore from sandy one, to rocky one. Beside that we read as well the presence of green, informal settlements, formal settlements, institutional area, vast open spaces and a variation of landscape. The relationship within all of the information is represented by the percentage of each for a total of 100%.

HARBOR CITY

CAPECASTLE

Vlora is an important hub for the region, and a main attraction for tourism. Right now the city is accessed by water for several activities, being businesses or touristic. The main harbor of the city is a stop only for touristic ferries. It has a direct line with Brindisi, Italy, while other local ferries travel to the north and south.

ACCESSIBILITY & its IMPACT IMPACT with the WATERFRONT WATERFRONT

To develop further the project it was necessary to read according to the whole waterfront the presence of those characteristic sections represented in the morphology map. These two maps give first inputs and hints on specific characteristics of the terrain. Throughout this methodology we conclude that we have several situations within different elements. For the moment it can be mention the water, green, buildings and vast open spaces.

The map of accessibility shows a basic urban pattern of Vlora’s waterfront. Here is shown the access of primary and secondary roads to the waterfront. The roads collide with the waterfront and create on those spots breaking points, or rather interference with the seaside.

FUNCTIONS (existing situation and proposal) The functional map represents the coexistence of several functions within one another. Hereby we propose some additional functions, which consist on small-scale buildings lying beneath the walking area, or even a whole new area to develop.

As it can be seen on the map, there are ntegrated n i tegrated areas for watersports, rollers, running paths, walking areas, beach areas etc.

As a very important and basic organizational idea of the whole project, si the proposal of an eco-bus and waterbus. They connect mainly the bus stops and waterbus stops along the waterfront. During the summer season the waterbus is used as well as public transport for the surrounding areas such as Rradhime, Orikum, or beyond.
