Mittelmeerland will investigate the future of
the Mediterranean. Over three years the
intention is to research six different Medi-
terranean cities, starting with Dubrovnik,
and then continuing with Tangier, Tripoli,


 WC1B 3ES
Istanbul, Alexandria and Haifa.
In the first of these we will study the
dynamic territory of Dubrovnik’s coastline
and the mutual dependencies of land and
water. The area itself, from Dubrovnik to the
port of Ploce, extends more than 113km and
provides an amphibious context defined by
an ongoing conflict between the natural
landscape, industry and tourism. This
condition forces us to ask: How is the rapid
growth of global trade affecting Mediterra-
nean ports? And how can these cities along
the Mediterranean coast become more
environmentally engaged?
We will work on five different areas
along the coastline analysing existing
conditions and future projections, playfully
utilising small-scale phenomena, translating
found conditions into large-scale urban
