Palermo Cruise Terminal Design Competition

Proposed

Palermo Cruise Terminal Design Competition
The scheme to redefine the port is an historic opportunity to reconnect the historic city centre with the water.
Palermo became disconnected from the Mediterranean as infrastructure built up
along the waterfront. The scheme to redefine the port is an historic opportunity
to reconnect the historic city centre with the water. Three cloisters unify the
spaces and buildings, giving the waterfront a visual identity and connecting
the city’s historic fabric by reinstating street frontages. They intertwine existing
buildings with new shipping infrastructure and gathering places along the
waterfront. Hassell brought international and local knowledge to address a
complex design challenge through global thinking. The resultant scheme imbues
the architecture and public spaces with a contextual and cultural sensibility.
