julien de smedt architects have designed a new seascape for the coastal town of rimini, italy. they have developed the project as an urban filmstrip, a linear sequence of urban frames all intertwined in a boardwalk of interior and exterior activities. the shape of the plan follows burle marx’s legendary pattern of copacabana’s boardwalk but re-interprets it in a three-dimensional way. the powerful and recognisable pattern evokes sand ripples and sea waves and has the incredible ability to allow both longitudinal and transversal connections : to facilitate the meanderings of passers-by strolling along the boardwalk while at the same time integrating the street connections coming from the city. the whole public concept is covering a large parking facility half a floor underground and therefore permits to view the horizon and sea without having the feeling of climbing a floor above the ground. the concept is meant as a sectional solution to the abundance of sheds and facilities laid out on the beach and blocking the sea view.

It is the most beautiful design for a sea side I have ever seen. I would visit Rimini, just to discover the interaction of the waves with this breath taking “lungo mare”.
