The limit between water and land is a man-made condition that is constantly evolving through time. Historically, the city near the port was defined by the Muralla de Mar, a 15th-century wall that once stood near the limit of the water. Its effect created a linear facade along the port that’s influenced by existing infrastructure.

Through the use of the existing urban grid and understanding the historical front along Passeig de Colom and Ronda Litoral, the project seeks to preserve the linearity of the city by extending the plaza and the street through a series of folding planes. With the different heights of the folding planes, the project introduces the fisherman warehouse as well as the restaurant to revitalize the waterfront.
