Portovitra


Portovitra is an ancient seaside town built in the style of the Mediterranean seaside towns of Northern Italy and Monaco. Named Portovitra as a play on the Northern Italian town of Portofino, it is a town serviced by, and centered around, its small fishing port found at the base of the hillside town.

The town was built within the two large outer walls, erected as a sea wall to create an artificial harbour, as there were no suitable fishing harbours in the area at the time. Since then, the town of Portovitra has grown and expanded tot he size it is today.

The architecture of Portovitra is heavily influenced by Frank Gehry’s sculptural and additive style. Many of the buildings in Portovitra are either heavily influenced by, or direct recreations of, pieces of Gehry’s architectural works.

Poster Draft

I have given the sea-side town the name of Portovitra, a play on the name Portofino, one of the sea-side towns on which my design was based.

Poster Grid

This is an initial grid for what will become my three A1 posters. I want to have some sense of continuity between the three posters.

Model re-envisioning

For my re-envisioning of the Vitra Museum, I will use the additive style of the structure to create a sea-side town.

I will create this by taking apart the elements of the structure and re-assembling them to create a new structure. Each additive section will be turned in to a small house which will be placed a hillside.
