Transformation of the submarine bunkers at Keroman
Masterplan for the conversion of a raw building with minimal intervention
The project creates the spatial conditions for the appropriation of new uses. Addition of infrastructure and development of a diversity of use. Enrichment with commercial- and service offerings, educational, research and museums facilities in the segment: man and ocean
Planning area of the bunker complex on the headland of Keroman
It is proposed that the infrastructure will develop in individual phases that function on their own.
A structure of pedestrian bridges and squares creates reciprocal relationships with the existing architecture.
