The subject of this project concerns the regeneration of the bay of Despotiko in Greece, in terms both of landscape and architecture, while at the same time tackling a contemporary cultural issue characterising the area, that of the destruction and extinction of traditional boats. The purpose of this project is to address two objectives at the same time: how to revitalize a relatively remote rural space and how to help preserve elements of heritage through the means of design. The relationship between the two is indissoluble, since they are both incorporated in a landscape with distinct characteristics.

The project was developed within the context of the Politecnico of Milan.
