A marina should be memorable for its activity rather than for its form. It has to be visible, easy to understand and to use. Hence the clarity of its forms, but also the soft curves of its limits in floor plan and section; hence also the attention to night lighting. The various works built for the Universal Forum of Cultures include some spectacular buildings; perhaps it was this that generated the desire for spaces that are visually simple rather than seeking to impress.
