The proposal configures an overall redesign of the total dock area of “Adrias”, whose identity is redefined by this landmark Passenger Terminal. The design follows environmental and low-energy consumption guidelines, and it establishes the distinct shape and form of the building: “Sea aura”: The first design gesture is configuration of the roof, following the North-South direction. “Sails”: The undulating section of the roof across the East-West direction, allows for natural ventilation and controlled lighting. “Fishbone”: The structural system of the building is present in space, and its form is projected throughout the overall design. The design is “open” in top view and elevation: It is oriented towards the sea and welcomes visitors. It lowers as it reaches the adjacent town and, elevates towards the sea.
