“Choreography of Topography” reimagines a Mediterranean coast as a living ground shaped by nature and culture. Restoring the vineyard revives historical identity, while eco-kinetic systems harvest humidity, revive soil, disperse seeds, and irrigate vegetation. Birds find habitats, fishermen gain a renewed strip, and the public engages with a temporal grid that adapts to seasons and rituals. Beyond this site, the project becomes a prototype for resilient coasts, where architecture regenerates both ecology and memory.
