The sea is introduced as an urbanised space, traced through history, examples, and territorial and exploratory design projects, and grounded in established bodies of research on the Urbanisation of the Sea and on the theory of
Planetary Urbanisation — Extended Urbanisation in particular — applied to sea space.
Pipeline dynamics in maritime contexts and the Adriatic’s own spatial structure form the case study BIP students will engage with over the course of the day.
