The Calich Lagoon on the Alghero North boundary is one of the most particularly fragile ecosystem and an important part of the bigger one Porto Conte Regional Park.
The Lagoonscape was massively transformed by local human being, thanks to the economic and logistic logics connected with touristic necessities and hygienic needs of the entire Nurra purifier system.

For this kind of reasons the Lagoonscape is always more fragile……..

During the past “field studies” the students explored and traversed the Lagoon System to learn to see the Ecosystem’s components, through a different attitude, all finalized on projecting with the properly approach the Lagoonscape.
Now during the two intensive days under the direction of the landscape urbanist Jorge Ayala, the students will have the opportunity to develop a new perspective for the high fragile and sophisticated reality of the Calich Lagoon system.
Thanks to this opportunity to experience a new attitude and method, the landscape urbanism discipline properly one, in approaching and analyzing the delicate Ecosystem, the students will be able at the end to elaborate a new way to project the Lagoon ecosystem and surroundings.

“Landforms, horizontality, infrastructure and techniques, outlined as a generator for spatial conditions, seeking to offer some of the most compelling future directions: its extensive scale and scope, its inclusive pragmatism and creative techniques, its prioritization of infrastructure and process, its embrace of indeterminacy and open-endedness, its vision of a more wholesome and heterogeneous world”.
