Description 
The project assimilates the spirit of Spetses shipbuilding tradition and reinterprets the possibilities of its techniques, putting them to a radically different use. The curved shapes of wooden boat skeletons emerge from the water like ruins, hugging one of the most powerful identity points in the island of Spetses: one of the central piers. The wooden rods change their floating function, inverting their form, to form a skyline of emerged “ruins” that represent not only an homage to the shipbuilding tradition, but also a frame that catches the beauty of the maritime landscape in one single and condensed view. This promenade reforms the first point that tourists and inhabitants ex- perience when arriving to the island, but also the last one when they leave, reminding them of the importance of a historical technique that is nowadays slowly dying.
