    I conducteda largeportionof theanalysisandpro-ducedthediagramstopresentourfindings.

    RE-ENVISIONING BUGGERRU

    Most of the roads in Buggerru run perpendicular to the waterfront, directly to the port, speaking to its impor-tance in the formation of the city. One road runs par-allel to the waterfront, servicing the port, beach, and camper areas.

    There is very little communication between the main street, Via Roma, and the elevated highway which causes the city and its people to be divided due to lack of connections.

    ACCESSIBILIT E CIRCOLAZIONE /ACCESSIBILITY AND CIRCULATION

  • 9Spaces that attract activity in Buggerru, creating a source of economic income. Ranking the activities from most popular to least popular shows us oppor-tunities for improvement. All the spaces are concen-trated on the waterfront.

    This is an analysis of the points of interest in Buggerru, which define the civic centre of the city and give its sense of place. Many of these are historic buildings from the mining industry. It is evident that the space in front of the buildings defines the citys relationship to the water because of the way that buildings face into it and roads lead to it.

    However, the waterfront space has lost its character after the end of the mining industry and is now used for a boat yard, a soccer field, and a camper-ground. The character of these areas should be reconsidered in order to redefine the citys relationship to the sea and improve the experience of the sea.

    ATTIVIT ECONOMICHE /ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES LUNGOMARE /WATERFRONT

  • A comparison to Piazza Navona (and the dense devel-opment surrounding it) shows the scale of the water-front spaces and the importance of subdividing them into smaller spaces.

    The effect of the city is to expand in the summer, oc-cupying the port and beach area during the day, and the piazzas in the evening. However, the area directly between the city and the beach is never occupied.

    LUNGOMARE /WATERFRONT DUALIT ESTATE-INVERNO /SUMMER-WINTER DUALITY

  • 11

    In the winter, the city contracts, occupying only the so-cial buildings along the main street, Via Roma. It is not possible to enjoy the sea in this season because it is too violent and dangerous.

    The relationship between summer and winter spaces is that of urban rooms created by social buildings. It also shows one type of approach to creating social spaces for the public.

    The city is built up on and around retaining walls which allow the streets and buildings to negotiate the steep topography.

  • PROPOSTA ECONOMICA /ECONOMIC PROPOSAL PROPOSTA DI RICONNESSIONE /RECONNECTION PROPOSAL

    Instead of building a large hotel to accomodate the tourist population in Buggerru, we propose a diffuse hotel, with the historical laveria as the reception cen-ter. In the diffuse hotel model residents in the town rent out their rooms to tourists. Instead of individual bread and breakfasts, a centralized organization system helps to keep track of available rooms.

    PROPOSTA ECONOMICA /ECONOMIC PROPOSAL PROPOSTA DI RICONNESSIONE /RECONNECTION PROPOSAL

    We reconnect lower and upper Buggerru by way of a new park accessible through the laveria.
