Art/Literary - Architecture
Italian term or phrase: invaso
Il progetto conferisce continuità e dipendenza architettonica ai due livelli: la passeggiata sul lungomare e il piano sottostante, attraverso l’ apertura di ampie bucature che illuminano e connettono visivamente i due ambiti e attraverso l’introduzione di due scale che dalla quota inferiore della piazza del popolo o dalla piazza coperta del mare conducono al piano della passeggiata; in questo modo non esistono due spazi distinti separati ma un unico grande invaso organizzato su due livelli
