“…These elements may improve the port's character, helping to enhance and imbricate it in the collective. It is also reached through the introduction of local peculiarities and practices [143,145], which also leads to the achievement of the concept of singularity at the place [132,146,147]. Regarding mobility, the port activities generate new traffic flows affecting the existing ones, both within the marina itself, and interfering with urban mobility [134].…”

Marinas are known to be features related to nautical tourism. Nevertheless, the responsibility of managers does not lie solely on providing accurate services to boats, seafarers and visitors. Thus, an effective management should include other factors, because marinas are embodied in a singular space, with links to diverse nature. Landscape, known as the relationship between people and their environment, represents a set of these links. In this paper, we attempt to delve into the marina management and landscape. Firstly, a targeted exploration of the main issues related to the management of marinas was accomplished. Secondly, based on the previous items, a screening was carried out from a landscape viewpoint with the aim to stablish which elements of marina’s management are significant when tackling landscape. The results indicated that there is a concern with environmental aspects, specifically, on issues related to marine pollution and water quality. However, the determination of the main management-related issues, valued from a landscape perspective, may provide the main issues that need to be addressed in decision-making processes, incorporating the landscape dimension. Thus, we have attempted to understand and discuss how the landscape should be considered in marina management as a potential competitive advantage.

“…The Danish landscape architect Ellen Braae fits into the strategic school, by focussing on the attitude architects take towards the history of buildings and the aim they have for the new architecture. To her, adaptive reuse means to view architecture as a medium that can be altered and is always in transition (Braae, 2018, Braae and Diedrich, 2012). Braae’s approach to adaptive re-use forms a good starting point for comparing adaptive re-use of historic shipyards, as she focusses on the strategies of the architects in their response to the history of existing built structures.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the different design approaches architects take towards the adaptive reuse of small-scale shipyards. Thereby giving a proposition for future projects by giving insight in how others preceded and showcasing different possibilities. Design/methodology/approach The research is based on a literary review in combination with a case study, following one main question: What architectural approaches do architects employ in redesigning nineteenth- and twentieth century dockyards in Northern Europe and how do these approaches consider the history of building and context? First, this paper researches the history of adaptive reuse. Additionally, the historical and cultural context of shipyards is researched. Finally, a case study is done linking theory with practice. Selected cases are: Kromhout shipyard in Amsterdam, Verftet Ny-Hellesund in Ny-Hellesund and the Maritime Museum in Helsingør. Findings Four approaches to adaptive re-use were distinguished in the cases: differentiation, continuation, cultivation and optimisation. Each has its own implications for the design and the chosen approach is ultimately related to the important heritage values of each individual shipyard. Heritage professionals proved to have a great say, in the early stages of the adaptation process, in which the adaptive reuse approach was chosen. Research limitations/implications This comparative research enables an in-depth analysis and comparison and thorough qualitative understanding. It however limits the insight in the representativeness of these cases. Originality/value This paper compares the adaptive reuse of small-scale shipyards in an international perspective. It offers insight into the patterns, principles and context of the architectural reuse of this underexposed industrial heritage.

“…While some of these studies aim to understand and describe the driving forces behind the processes better (Harvey, 1989;Landry, 2000;Pinder, 2000;Florida, 2002;Evans, 2003Evans, , 2009Beriatos and Gospodini, 2004;Freestone and Gibson, 2006;Rantisi and Leslie, 2006;Richards and Wilson, 2006;Vaz and Jacues, 2006;Bontje and Musterd, 2008;Biddulph, 2011), others have more the character of empirical exemplifications of how global ideals within architecture and planning have left imprints on urban development in many European towns and cities, including those in Norway (Swensen, 2012). The rise in waterfront projects typifies this (Avery, 2007;Jones, 2007;Wakefield, 2007), along with the redevelopment of redundant industrial and brownfield sites (Carlberg and Christensen, 2005;Braae and Diedrich, 2012;Braae, in press).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this papter is to examine the role heritage considerations have played in the transformation of industrial areas in three Norwegian cities, Oslo, Drammen and Larvik. The location, scale and rough appearance of industrial sites stemming from the industrial era makes these places locations for new cultural and other recreational activities made possible through architectonic interventions. Design/methodology/approach – A comparative case study based on examinations of a series of plans, site investigations and interviews with planners, developers, architects and heritage managers. Findings – The study has revealed that private-public partnerships today prevail parts of Norwegian planning. The role and strength of the state, the municipality, the private developers and the heritage management as partners varies, however. While the state as well as the heritage management played an essential role in all stages in the development process in Oslo, the private developers and the public planners were the main instigators both in Drammen and Larvik, where the heritage managers played a subsidiary role. Although largely transformed, selected parts of the old industrial heritage sites have been taken care of as a result, and new architectural contexts have arisen. Originality/value – While actual planning processes have been led by private investors and real estate developers, the case study has shown that participation from the public sector via funding is vital to ensure long-term solutions. The results can be of service in similar cases where large industrial plants are left empty while slowly disintegrating.
