New Waterfront in Rimini

Foster + Partners has designed a major new waterfront development for Rimini, Italy, a seaside city in Italy. The plan calls for a new seaside promenade, a 1,000-foot-long pier, a hotel tower, and a museum for filmmaker Federico Fellini, a Rimini native and famed director of 8½ and La Dolce Vita.

这一项目是由Foster + Partners设计的。

该项目包括一个新的海滨长廊，混合活动区和包含酒店大厦的公共场所。并且延续了Rimini的历史文化海滨，继续现有城市的文脉。项目继承 Rimini的传统绿色林荫大道，以ViaVespuci体现最佳特征。林荫大道在Fosters的规划中将连接到一个长形公园—或者绿色长廊—在炎热的月份中提供一个阴凉的休息区。

新酒店大楼包括为Fellini电影节而提供的场地。弯曲的形式是一个鲜明的标记，同时建设海上平台延伸出海300米。

The scheme comprises a new seafront promenade with a mix of related activities and public spaces including a hotel tower, which will extend Rimini’s historic beach culture and continue the existing urban grain. The project celebrates Rimini’s tradition of green boulevards, best characterised by the Via Vespuci.

The waterfront will be pedestrianised at certain times and will link directly to a linear public park – or green spine – which will provide much needed shade during the hotter months. This currently links the seafront to the historic city and will be enhanced with improved connections to the new promenade area.

A new hotel tower includes space for a Fellini film museum at its base. Its curving form anchors the wider project, while the building extends out to sea along a new 300m long pier, continuing the dialogue between the city and the water and referring to Rimini’s tradition of piers.

We are delighted to submit our proposal to reinvigorate the popular resort of Rimini. This is an exciting opportunity to unite the town with its seafront and to regenerate the public realm.

The scheme will use new technologies, such as rainwater collection and photovoltaics, to establish a long-term, sustainable commercial and environmental strategy for the town that is balanced with its rejuvenation in the short-term.
