Relaunching below the press release of the Municipality of Ravenna, reporting that the Maritime Park project has been awarded the international CITY’SCAPE Award 2024 in the category “Tourism landscape”.

Ravaioli Legnami has collaborated with great pleasure with the studio Paisà Architettura del Paesaggio Stignani Associati srl for the design of the Maritime Park and for assessing the most ideal wood essence to use for the walking surface of the walkways. The wood supplied by Ravaioli Legnami for the walkways is Massaranduba, the same botanical species chosen for two other important projects such as Rimini’s seafront and the suspended walkway in Cavallino-Treporti in the Venetian lagoon.

Maritime Park awarded the first international CITY’SCAPE Award 2024

The project of the Maritime Park has been awarded the first prize in the category “Tourism landscape”, in the context of the international CITY’SCAPE Award 2024, which wants to highlight how landscape designing can become strategic for urban and social resilience in climate change. The contest is promoted by the national Council of Architects, designers, landscapers and curators, and is organised by Paysage, a society for promotion and development of landscape architecture, and aims at pointing out the good practices and solutions adopted in this business.

With 242 presented applications, the announcement occurred last Friday at the eight edition of the international symposium at Palazzo della Triennale in Milan, with the following motivation: “It is an intervention that has been able to restore and enhance the typical natural system of pinewood – dune – coast, to make it available for the local and touristic community with a low environmental impact, thanks to precise and targeted interventions to favour the spontaneous requalification and to preserve the function of ecological corridor proper of the dunes and the pinewood”.

The winners will be gifted a dedicated press campaign curated by Paysage and by the international landscape architecture magazine Topscape.

“This important recognition is the source of great pride and satisfaction – declare the mayor Michele de Pascale and the Councillor for Urban planning Federica Del Conte – for a project that is already used daily and has not only been able to protect the environment, but also to enhance it and turn it into the protagonist of the rebirth of an ecosystem that was about to get lost. Just like the motivation has pointed out”.

“This international recognition – states the designer Antonio Stignani of Paisà Architettura del Paesaggio – that comes in the context of the most important cultural event of this business in Italy and of the Triennale in Milan, is the best way to highlight the recognisability of a work begun in 2017 with the competition of ideas and represents a significant change in the management and accessibility of the coastline territory”.

The application has been presented by Paisà with the project team composed by Agence Ter, Studio Tassinari Associati Ingegneria, Studio M.
