Abstract

The contemporary port is much more than an infrastructure for transport and trade, it is an extended spatial entity with a networked dimension. Despite its spatial footprint, the port is still overlooked by the spatial disciplines. Yet, the Italian Code of Cultural and Landscape Heritage stipulates that all coastal territories within 300 metres from the shoreline are considered architectural and landscape heritage. Is the port Landscape? Is it Heritage? Is it Architecture? Treating the port as a landscape legitimises it in the field of design: it turns it into an heritage to be shaped through the tools of architecture.
