Vlora Marina Competition <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Project Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The proposal reframes the Vlora waterfront as an intertwined promenade<\/strong>, a landscape ribbon that merges marina infrastructure with parks, culture and everyday life. The braided geometry generates shaded paths, lookouts and civic rooms along the edge, while protecting and enhancing the beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Site & Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Resilient edge<\/strong> mixing soft and hard protections; new piers double as event decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuous promenade<\/strong> linking the north and south waterfronts with 3.2 km of walkable edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green armature<\/strong> of dunes, pine groves and coastal planting to buffer wind and waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public anchors<\/strong>: marine museum, hydroplane pier, sports lawns and beach terraces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marina & Piers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reorganized berths and service docks improve navigation and safety, while new public piers extend the city into the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Amphitheatre, play fields and gardens form a green civic heart adjacent to the waterfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lightweight pavilions host exhibitions, markets and seasonal events along the promenade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beach Renewal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dune restoration, new shade structures and accessible ramps improve the bathing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobility & Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vehicular traffic is calmed on a parallel boulevard; the waterfront edge is prioritised for people. A continuous cycling lane, last\u2011mile shuttle stops and generous crossings knit the city to the sea. Service access for the marina is maintained behind the public realm to keep the promenade car\u2011free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Native, salt\u2011tolerant planting to reduce irrigation and stabilise dunes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Permeable paving and bioswales to manage stormwater and protect water quality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Dark\u2011sky compliant lighting with low energy demand and minimal glare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Timber\/steel modular decks for quick construction and future adaptability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Phasing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Phase 3:<\/strong> Cultural pavilions, museum fit\u2011out, landscape maturation and wayfinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phase 1:<\/strong> Core promenade, beach access, cycling lane and temporary pavilions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phase 2:<\/strong> Park and amphitheatre, marina reconfiguration, two public piers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
