Urbanautica
Annunziata Albano
Urbanautica is a spatial experience that aims to help the visitors of The Ocean Race to improve their spatial knowledge about the hosting cities and to develop a more profound affection towards them.
The experience is divided into four different navigations and the urbanauts will be assigned to a specific one thanks to a questionnaire.
In order to develop the first thematic navigation, a fluid navigation, specific elements connected to the water topic have been selected.
The elements that seaside cities have in common will be the focus of the challenges that visitors will complete using the postcards in all the hosting cities.
The urban elements linked to the theme of water, peculiar to the city of Genoa are decoded into the spatial intervention and transformed into a visual gesture to guide the navigation.
