Short description

TerraViva Competitions is calling for entries to The Golden Sand Waterfront: Architecture Competition for a new “Lingomare” for Lignano Sabbiadoro.

The Golden Sand Waterfront is the first competition of a new thrilling initiative which comprises two consecutive contests to regenerate a series of strategic urban areas within the city of Lignano Sabbiadoro.

The competition consists in the design of a new masterplan capable of regenerating and revitalising part of the waterfront context, promoting sustainable mobility and environmental consciousness in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy. As indicated by the second word in its name “Sabbiadoro” – literally “Golden Sand” – the italian town of Lignano is characterised by its expansive shoreline featuring sandy beaches with a shiny hue. Famous for its crystal clear waters and evergreen pinewood forests, every season thousands of tourists from all over the world come to this renowned summer getaway. TerraViva encourages participants to experiment with innovative and original urban solutions capable of transforming this coastal area into a thriving public space for both the local community and its seasonal visitors.

Proposals will have to contemplate both the design of a general urban strategy and the new formal and spatial image of the most representative points of the site. The intervention will take place along “Lungomare Riccardo Riva” and the specific areas to be integrated into the project will be indicated in a dedicated guide downloadable from the offical website.

Who may enter?

The competition is open to architects, designers, students, urbanists, engineers, artists, makers and anyone interested in the fields of architecture and urban design. Participants can join the competition either individually or with a team.
