The project is based on the idea Beauty is already there.
By defining “ROOMS” in the landscape the whole territory is connected with a succession of spaces. PATHS cross these ROOMS and enhance special points to enjoy the landscape. These points form a network of built objects. The use of the river is proposed as a canal, boats connect all the ROOMS. Each boatstop is connected to the network by at least one PATH.
