“…In the design of the thickness of the urban margin between land and water; the form of the city is studied as the result of processes of sedimentation and metamorphosis (Dias Coelho et al, 2014). Processes that translate into the theoretical phases of: (a) the agglomerate establishment; (b) the elementary addition of elements; (c) the geometrization of the margin; and (d) the partition and embellishment (Barreiros Proença, 2018a ) to which new layers can be superimposed that take into account the dynamism of the sea (Barreiros Proença, 2018b…”

The article explores the role of public ground composition design as a defence element for coastal agglomerations vulnerable to mean sea level rise in extreme weather events scenarios. It addresses one of the pilot case studies of the [ENTRA]MAR Urban form intertwined with the sea research project, Quarteira, a coastal city located in the Algarve region of southern Portugal, which is vulnerable to flooding and erosion phenomena. The article provides an opportunity to systematise the reading and interpretation phases and also the research by design phase based on scenario development that was conducted during the fourth-year design studio at the Lisbon School of Architecture of the Universidade de Lisboa and therefore, to share its preliminary results on “imagining the Mediterranean beachfront by the Atlantic”. Attributing Mediterranean values and characteristics to Quarteira involves, as Braudel wrote in “Les Mémoires de la Méditerranée”, observing the coastal landscapes over and over again, until the physical and urban characteristics are eloquently revealed and named. Finally, it is underlined the need to design the space between land and sea based on the inherited memory of the coastal landscape and the operative role the public ground design <may have as coastal defence.

Changing ecological environment before and after coastline filling designs

Coastlines are tectonically active places with an impact on physical as well as social and economic restructuring of cities. They play an essential role in the development of urban areas. Furthermore, coastal environments may offer important health benefits. They may also present numerous threats to human health and well-being time to time. With the rapid urbanization in coastal cities, the lack of urban green space and transportation problems have emerged recently, and the cities have grown towards the sea by coastal filling areas as a solution. Especially the construction of highway on the coastline in the Black Sea region of Turkey has adversely impacted relationship between the people and the sea in the city of Trabzon. In this study, initially a literature review was conducted and parameters were specified for coastline usages. A survey study was conducted with 140 individuals who actively use the coastline in the city of Trabzon, in order to specify the past and current coastline usages. The evaluation of the past and current usage shows that people want to meet the sea but feel uncomfortable with the landscape with the fillings. According to the Anova test, the unmodified form of area was chosen to ‘have a more natural landscape (5.77)’ while the modified form of area was preferred ‘to be renovated (4.12)’. This highlights the users’ longing for the past. Therefore, authorities need to address the impact of differences between parameters in depth on the usage of the area on the coastal landscape. Coastal ecology solutions should also be produced with the ecological design approaches.
