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. The process began with the design of a series of commercial constructions without façades produced by tectonic manipulation of the site. The roofs of the commercial premises were turned into public space, prime vantage points overlooking the harbour. A few premises were built on the waterfront to expand the commercial and spatial potential of the public marina space.
