Di: Arch. Luca Luddeni e altri Anno: 2008 Luogo: Albenga (SV) Progetto: La progettazione del nuovo porto turistico di Albenga è stata affrontata tenendo conto delle esigenze sociali e ambientali del luogo. Stato avanzamento lavori: preliminare in gara
Project:The design of Albenga's new marina was approached keeping in mind the social and environmental needs. From an environmental point of view: the port, detached from the coast by about 200 metres, will not affect the coastal shoreline absolutely, which will remain free and protected from any type of concreting development. On the contrary, thanks to the creation of the new berth, its redevelopment will be possible. The environmental impact of Albenga's new marina will be minimal because no housing structures of any kind are planned and only those minimum essential facilities to the life of the port will be built. The objective is to realize a work with minimal visual impact from the land in order to preserve as much as possible the landscape and the accessibility of the sea view from the shoreline. The project envisages recycling systems and water disposal; systems, aiming at energy self-sufficiency, for the production of energy from renewable sources such as thermal and photovoltaic solar collectors on the carport canopies and building roofs. The choice to build a "at sea" port also stems from the conviction that a new infrastructure should be created in order not to infringe the rights of the community, in particular of the economical/productive activities that have developed along the beaches and coastline of Albenga. The rounded shape that has been given to the structure as a whole, and the very low profile of the crowning dam, obtained through the use of a stage breaking system, only 3. 5 metres above sea level against the usual 6 metres, effectively make the structure, thanks also to its distance from the shoreline, almost irrelevant from an environmental impact point of view; this peculiarity was achieved by the creation of a stilling channel that acts as an energy dissipator, a channel that is aesthetically more pleasant than an equally extensive blockwork, as well as definitely more economical. There are 836 berths distributed over the various sizes from 8 to 45 metres.
