The Aesthetics of Port Spaces. Unveiling Form, Ground, and Architecture
Beatrice Moretti gives a lecture on the aesthetics of port spaces. Focusing on the polycentric and interconnected nature of contemporary ports, the lecture reflects on a renewed role of space that becomes a filter for critical reading and strategic design. Through this new approach to space, the lecture proposes to reasons and experiment with solutions on the form, ground, and architecture of infrastructures, ports, and other coastal operational settlements, which are strongly and continuously impacted by spatial changes.

Beatrice Moretti will participate, as project atelier co-supervisor with Professors Carmen Andriani and Davide Servente (Coastal Design Lab), at the Costa Produttiva Lab International Summer School on Architectural and Landscape Design. For one week, Marceddì, on the west coast of Sardinia, will be a place for reflection and design practice on the complex territorial/productive system in which the fishing village is integrated; the Summer School will be an opportunity to reflect - through a series of seminars - and to practice - within thematic project ateliers - the different scales of the project. The goal is the definition of scenarios for new ecological, productive and cultural networks oriented towards the fishing territories. The Summer School involves five international schools: Cagliari, Chieti-Pescara, Genoa, Porto and Toulouse.
