Promenade by the sea

The path becomes the holiday spot.

Soft lines at the bottom of the stronghold in Bastia through manner of way of Dietmar Feichtinger.

In Bastia, Corsica's second largest megacity on the north-east seacoast, Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes accomplished the boardwalk Aldilonda, which is "Above the Sea" in Corsican with engineers, Buzzo Spinelli, and the masterminds of France.

Anchored withinside the gemstone, Aldilonda follows the rocky economic organization five measures above ocean position. The gemstone office works the big natural foundation of the effective enclosing wall of Bastia's fort, which gave the megacity its name. Until now, the rocky seacoast under the fort wall modified into great incompletely accessible.

Further than a path, a holiday spot with new perspective on the open ocean, suspended amongst ocean and sky, Aldilonda becomes a terrific event.

A vocally twisted path contrasts the big fort and the gemstone on which the fortification is innovated. The path nestles closer to the gemstone, leans closer to it, breaks through it, widens out and offers places to loiter.

Sensitively, the improvement blends into the gemstone, the rich natural location of the seacoast is precisely covered. At the same time, the red band of the rail product of Corten sword offers an immoderate sense of safety above the suds. The bars offer maximum translucency, the iron-bearing gemstone harmonizes with the gravel red of the rail.

The ocean can be persevered through the vicinity covered with an apparent grid. The deck is exposed to the suds; while the swells are immoderate, the water passes through the pristine sword grating on the gemstone, decreasing the big stress of the water. Hydraulic tests in a receptacle in La Seyne sur Mer had been important to determine the stress of the surge impact, with plenty in line with forecourt cadence.
