REVITALISATION OF KOUM KAPI AREA

This proposal consists of two distinct axes.  The main axis relates to the history of the area, while the other concerns the relation of city with the sea.  Particularly, the circular plan of the straw huts that used to occupy the area became the source of inspiration for the circular pattern of the masterplan.  On the other hand, in order to enhance the current relation between the city and the sea, the coastline was sharpened.  Namely, in the western part of the area, the coastline was extended towards the sea, creating a “proper” public space, while on the on the eastern part, the coastline recedes against the city, providing adequate space for the beach.
